Hello & Welcome!

This is the blog for a rather special little horse who came into my life quite by accident!

I took a trip up to see Gordon & Zenda Galley at Peak Lusitanos, breeders of my first Luso the beautiful Safira and my loan horse Bailarina. I was looking for a foal and one in particular; this years full sister to Bally as I love B to bits and what better to replace her when she heads back off North to her owner than her full sibling!

When I got there I watched Gordon work with the small but perfectly formed Cezar. As all their youngstock are he was by Assirico the same sire as my girls, but out of a pure Alter mare Lequia, four years old, recently gelded, stunning to watch.....and then Gordon threw me the rope and asked me to work with him.

What can I say, his quiet watchfulness, sensitivity and generosity of spirit wowed me, I think the look on my face at the end says it all...I was smitten from the word go!
I worked with Eclipse and played with Destina & Faisca, met all the mares and foals. I liked several of them but just couldn't get Cezar out of my mind

Luckily for me, my rather lovely husband knows me only too well and made a call to Gordon...result?? His offer on Cezar was accepted and this stunning boy was going to be mine!!

I've been up to see him twice since, once to work with him again under Gordon's eye, to make sure I was able to pick up the fine nuances of the sterling work he's done with Cezar over the last couple of months and again...well we were sort of in the area so I just went to say hello to him and give him a fuss and a cuddle - we live 3.5 hours away..I think that's what you call true love lol!!

He passed the vetting with flying colours, although I was quite amused when the vet told me that he saw who he was down to see and thought "oh Bollocks, not him" Apparently he'd been a little bit full of himself when he'd gelded him in April, but he was thrilled to tell me how calm and accepting Cezar had been throughout the whole very thorough vetting process and his parting words were "That is a FABULOUS little horse you've got yourself"

Well after a few hiccups, the transport is all booked and my beautiful boy will be hopping on a lorry and heading to Essex tomorrow. I can't wait!!
