This is the imported PRE stallion, Sigaf, that was in the movie Troy. The first picts are of a demo that Martin Juarez (the rider/trainer) and the last is after he won the Doma Vaquero class.

This last pict is one of the Lusitano stallions that was revised by the Portuguese judge, Marjan de Destinado. He has many accomplishments already as only a 6 yr. old in major FEI dressage competitions. Here he is being shown in hand by JP Giacomini after the saddle testing.

very cool. ;D looks like a ton of fun! But I'm not too sure I like the stallion that JP is showing. JP looks cute though!
Sigaf is nice.. however he does not look round at all, he's all bunched up and tight, maybe its just me or the pictures.
And a wow for the first group of pictures... lol thats what I call multi tasking!
So Michelle when do you plan on having Rev ready to do that stuff? haha

Your did very well taking such good pictures in low light! I like Sigaf's head and rounded neck. JP's stallion has a very short and flat face for a Luisitano, or is it just the angle? What an amazing thing the tandem is. How was it used, to pull a carriage?
I was looking at some Doma Vaquero video on UTube the other night, very fun!

I used to LOVE Medieval Times, went there when ever I could when I lived near it. Las Vegas has a similar show at the Excalibur
