"Billy Vista" - Competitive Showjumper

Billy Vista (Carlos)

Serious fun and a huge heart is the simplest way to describe Carlos. Standing at 15.2hh he has long, nimble and super careful legs and grows when he gets in the ring. He has trained up to 1.45m easily and competed up to 1.30m, and placed second in six-bars at 1.40m. Its rare for him not to place at every show we go to including the Australian Jumping Champs. He has excellent flatwork and long reining - flying changes, lateral movements, soft mouth and responsive to the leg. He is easy to handle, catch, float, truck, worm, groom, massage, bodywork, vet etc. He is the same horse after 5 consecutive days of work as he is after having 5 weeks off. Very good doer. Would suit an ambitious Junior going into YR. Enjoys the beach and trail rides too. Carlos loves to play in the paddock with you and the dogs.

He will always be close to my heart - I have developed him for the last 3.5-4 years since a 6yo. Will only be sold to the best of homes as I am riding overseas.
