Sarge is a fabulous gelding who was is needing a restart. Has had an occasional buck and rear hasnt done it in a while. Mostly has been ridden with too much draw reins and not allowed to to go forward.

He is an absolute gentle boy who loves people and being loved on. Just has some residual issues from rough training in the past.

Sire: DONNER BUBE is an excellent example of the "magic" DONNERHALL / PIK BUBE I cross that has resulted in super athletes in both dressage and jumping. Donnerhall was a top dressage competitor, winning medals in world and European championships, horse of the year honours and acclaim as a sire -- considered by many to be the best dressage stallion of the 20th century. Of the 51 horses in the 2012 Olympics, 12 have Donnerhall featured in their pedigree. Donner Bube’s dam line is just as strong as his sire line. Pik Bube I is a top sire of jumpers, dressage mounts, approved sons and Main Studbook mares. Donner Bube won his performance test with 8s and 9s, was shown successfully in Europe and North America as a jumper, and then went on to compete up to Medium (training at Prix St. Georges) in dressage, proving that he has the talent to be competitive in the upper levels of that sport as well.

Dam: EL VIRA is a Premium mare who produces very attractive offspring that are athletic, of good size, sound and of good temperament. Her grandsire CALVADOS is a nations cup jumper, a noted sire of international show jumpers and an excellent broodmare sire of sport horses. At the London Olympics the jumpers STAR POWER and WILEXO descended from Calvados. Ella III’s daughters were consistently awarded Premium status at inspection (including El Vira). El Vira’s sire, EL BUNDY, won his stallion performance test in Germany in 2001 against 48 other stallions, showing carefulness, scope and form in jumping as well as three excellent gaits. He is noted for his superior rideability, excellent gaits and careful jumping style, and has sired multiple champions in jumping and mare performance tests -- a classy, proven sire with Grand Prix ability in his genes.

Notes: DIRKS BENTLEY is a tall, very attractive gelding with lots of chrome and even more presence. He is very friendly, easy to catch and wonderful to deal with on the ground. Dirks has been well started with natural horsemanship techniques that kept him understanding and accepting at every step. He is a fun horse with excellent movement, a good work ethic and great athletic potential. He enjoys jumping and shows talent over fences.
Bentley is tall and gangly right now! Very immature and as such has had minimal riding time to let him grow and catch up. He is ready to proceed now. Lightly started with walk trot and canter. He has a nice canter and a very sittable trot - you will not get thrown out of the tack by this trot. He was purchased for a young rider who is finding time constraints. She cant ride two horses at this time and wants to keep the other. He is not for a novice at this time because of his size and immaturity. Posting this ad for a friend with limited internet access.
