Blue roan QH soldon Equine.com
Anyhoo -- I am always on a quest for a nice true blue roan. Here are some blue roans who are doing dressage (or something like it).
100% Quarter Horse? That's what they say...
RPSI blue or bay roan mare, sold :-(

I like Cody, Blue roans are very flashy... my weakness is buckskins as far as the non traditional dressage type goes.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted a blue roan Belgian Brabant. They are as wide as they are tall. Met some in person(horson?) and they were even more awesome than in photos. Darling daughter wants a Nokota. I think that will be a Breyer, thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteI want to buy a blue roan too!! :o)
ReplyDeleteI know you're only looking but I would be very leery of the seller on that first horse. I've never seen a pure Quarter horse that cresty. He looks like he has Andalusian or Lusitano in him. Also not the best video I've seen . . . I mean can he do anything other than passage? He's a very beautiful horse, but I don't know that I would trust the seller and he was being ridden in a curb bit, so there's no telling what kind of training he's had.
ReplyDeleteI like the mare though. Too bad she's sold. She looked to have a solid foundation on her. My guess is that she was young and should hopefully grow out of the head tossing.
Good luck in your search for a blue roan. They are very pretty horses. :)
That looks too appealing to me to be a quarter horse. My pardon quarter horse people. Looks like an Andalusian. I'm not so sure about 4.5 year olds passaging around either. Odd bridle too. Straight Pelham? Pretty horse though. I sure wouldnt throw him out of the barn!
ReplyDeleteNow I just saw the Morgan. That's the one for me!
ReplyDeleteThe mare I part board looks bay from a distance. When you get closer, you see she has a lot of white hairs, but doesn't really look roan. And then you clip her, and she looks purple or silver. It's really quite something! I wonder what blue roans look like cliped?
ReplyDeleteI board my horse at the same place as Edwin...he really is a gentle giant(17H). My horse was in with him for a short time..and would hide behind him, even at 16.2 H my horse would disappear.
ReplyDeleteBlue roans are really special looking. I think at one point, I had a blue roan pony. It is really a pretty color and I hope you find one.
ReplyDeleteHey, which one is Edwin? The first picture?
ReplyDeleteNo, Edwin is the last video...he is still young...I think 4 or 5.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering why a 4 1/2 year old would be "dancing" like that. Check out the 1:00 mark of the "trainers" other videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy4wN0sPtgg&feature=channel
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of things but dressage it ain't. Poor horse.
Here's the "trainer"'s website btw: http://guslopez.com/training.html
ReplyDeleteJesse, I'll be devil's advocate here. The video showed the horse learning piaffe between 2 poles, isn't that a classical technique? I'm not saying this guy is doing dressage for competition (he is trained by one of th medieval times trainers) but i'm thinking if a dressage judge saw that piaffe it would not get a bad score. The question is what ELSE can the horse do -- I see an awful lot of one movement. I suspect he is training for non-dressage people who are looking for less for dressage and more for tricks. I don't mean that as a put down. It would be interesting to see the horse to a dressage test...
