Dear Berny and Juttta,
I have been meaning to write to you for a few weeks now. I have been wanting to thank you for selling me such a beautiful horse. He is the most superb horse to ride, and has such a wonderful temperament.
I have to say I have had some interesting battles of wits with him ... but now find he is so keen to please, and he never forgets anything I teach him. He is an absolute delight.
It was a great thrill for me to ride him and feel his wonderful walk. And then three weeks ago I trotted for the first time and it brought tears to my eyes! His trot is so beautiful and just keeps getting better. And then yesterday -- our first canter ... he feels like a rocking horse -- perfect!
He is an incredibly well-balanced horse and feels so light in the forehand even this early. (You can see I am in love with this horse!!)
Also, he is turning the most lovely dark, rich brown as he loses his winter coat. He's also putting on a lot of weight.
Berny, I can't believe how lucky I am to have such a wonderful horse, it is a dream come true for me. Thank you so much for realising he would be perfect for me and talking me into coming up to see him.
I will keep you up to date with our progress!
