Carcare was purchased as part of our effort to remove horses from the dangers of the ongoing war in Ukraine. While we would like to get all horses to safety, we have been focused on quality amateur horses, which the American market so desperately needs. We think it is a win win!
Carcare has not disappointed us! He is kind, calm, and sound with a willing temperament. While he has open, extravagant gaits, they are very easy to sit!!! In Ukraine he competed the equivalent of 2nd level, started the work on changes, and was taught passage. By the time he arrived to the US, he showed the signs of what he had been through, he was quite underweight and foot sore due to the inavailability of regular farrier care. We have been bringing him back to work and have been delighted to discover that he is much more of a talent than we imagined!! He needs time to put muscle back on his big frame, but he is offering glimpses of movement which has the scope of a a top FEI horse. He is in full training, including cross training on the trail and small jumps, and is getting the bodywork, dentistry, and nutrition to get him where he can really show off!
When we find Carcare his new home, we will be able to import the next horse needing a soft landing. If you don't want to sacrifice quality, but relish the idea of your riding goals being part of a bigger effort to help horses in the war zone----please give Carcare serious consideration. We are confident that these horses are competitive in quality and price He has a full set of xrays from summer 2023. (He is listed as a Hannoverian as he carries the lines of Donnerhall and Rohdiamant, he also carries the Westfalen line of Caravaggio, and is part Ukranian WB)
He was foaled in December of 2013, so has just turned 10.
