I just looked at Eventer AJ’s video… you should buy him if he is for sale!
He looks great now, just imangine how he will look with more training.

Eventeraj- wow, he is lovely!

@Blkarab

AJ—your guy is lovely!!! He looks very similar to the mare I’m going to take a look at tomorrow. My trainer is going with me, and we have several that we are going to take a look at. I have lots of time to find my next partner…I’m not rushing. My Arab mare is 17, and she is going strong. I would like to find something by the end of the year that I can start to develop now before I will need to retire or back down the work with my mare.

Thank you all for the kind words! Aripeka is a really special horse, and I’m glad to know the “real dressage people” see the talent in him too. It’s so rewarding to find an OTTB in a field, predict that he has the conformation and pedigree to do the job, and then watch him prove you right as he develops. Ari also seems to enjoy the work, no matter how tedious, and improves steadily from day to day. Can’t say enough about the great TB work ethic and desire to please!
