Bandolero portrait
Bandolero has classic baroque style beauty, with short back, long silky mane and tail, and large strong bones and feet.
His magnificient movement includes not only the typical high stepping knee action,
but also the espressive trot extensions coveted in Dressage.
At a recent Sabine Schut-Kery clinic, the renowned Baroque horse trainer and exhibitionist expressed her desire (and recent efforts) to find an Andalusian just like him for herself!
