That is the best news! He sounds like a wonderful horse with whom you can do most anything. I loved the story of Seldom Seen, which I didn't know about- and it's such a great posting name- the little horse who got to Grand Prix and the Hall of Fame.
I have an 8-year old Hanoverian, by Weltmeyer and Werther, named Wiecor VA. He is not enormous, thank goodness- only 16 hands, and more like a thoroughbred than a warmblood in appearance.. He's a dappled bay-black, with a white blaze and soft black eyes. He sounds a lot like Andrew- very well-behaved and lovable, and always a barn favorite with farriers, vets, etc.. We are just moving up to third level in dressage, and are doing musical freestyles also. It's the most fun in the world, but a lot harder- in terms of riding skills- than I ever imagined. I don't know if we (or more likely I ), will make it to Grand Prix, but he is bred for it, so I'm trying my very best.
Have a wonderful time with Andrew and do let us know what you are doing with him!
