lipizzan 6 years

Aranka in january 2007, almost 6 years old.

As can be seen the connection between body and neck is often broken because I ask for too much bending (the shoulder is then lost to the outside). His neck is also held too high for his stage of development. His backlegs are dragging a bit in the sand. His legs are quite active, but there is not much swinging in the back.

But otherwise I think he showed a very cooperative state of mind that day - he had never been in that riding hall before (and he is normally very nervous).

See video from 2009 to see a bit from his development.
