Martina & Venado (germany)

In July 2013, I booked another riding holiday in Spain. I went on the Andorra Trail. It feels like it was yesterday, when Rudi showed me Venado and told me this would be my horse for this trail.

I still remember how he was standing there tied up to a tree looking at me with his large brown eyes. And, what can I say, it was a perfect match. No matter how steep the paths in the mountains were, or how many riding hours per day, he has always carried me safely to our destination. We enjoyed truly magical days on the Andorra Trail. I was falling in love more with him every day.

Back in Germany, I simply could not get him out of my head. One week later, I called Rudi and told him that I would like to buy Venado. In September, he came all the way from Spain to my home in Bavaria, Germany.

Venado was exactly how I got to know him on the trail - very gentle and well-behaved and always forward-going and a safe ride.

He got used to his new home with ease. We have never had any problems. As he has always been out on trail rides in a group, I was doubting if I could go on rides with him all by myself. I had nothing to worry about. We have already been on several trail rides – regardless of whether we are in a group or alone, we always have a good time and he is not afraid of anything. Tractors, cyclists from behind, barking dogs, even a fire exercise – he stays calm and passes everything. In addition, he is motivated in our classes in the indoor arena.

Seven years have passed since I have bought Venado, and I have never regretted it! He is an amazing horse, and I look forward to many more years together with him!
