Maya
Spartucus (aka Spark) is a 14 year old AQHA, he is a gorgeous 14.1hh palomino and was bred in the USA and trained as a reiner. He is very well trained and has all the buttons but needed a soft landing as he has a little arthritis in one knee, he has found his way to Opening Gaits and is already a favourite here at our barn. How can you resist that face, I know I couldn't!
