SPANISH HORSES. DRESSAGE.
OUR PASSION.

Yeguada Verdadero is a small P.R.E horse stud, situated at the property “Tallowood”, in a semi-rural suburb of Sydney’s burgeoning northwest, New South Wales, Australia. The ‘hub’ of Sydney’s dressage scene is 20 minutes drive away – either to Dressage NSW’s Clarendon competition grounds or west to Sydney International Equestrian Centre (SIEC).
 

Our goal is clear – to breed a PRE horse that is capable of competing in Dressage, without changing the breed into a WB or TB type!

Like the majority of competitors in the sport of dressage, I am not a professional rider, but I do enjoy the training aspect of riding, and the competition environment. I also like a horse that can move with expression and freedom.

With so much confusion surrounding classical methods and the over-use of the term, I am hesitant to say my horses are schooled using this method. However, I do train my horses to be light, forward and submissive, within the training scale, but without force.

We imported our stallion Infante XXXVIII in Dec 07, and mare Leyenda XXXVIII in Jun 09. The decision to import horses was based on the fact that I was unable to find a quality, riding age stallion in Australia, as most are destined for the breeding paddock, or had undesirable qualities.

Infante competed successfully in Young Horse Dressage throughout Spain, and is listed (with a rating of “excellent”) in Spanish Agriculture’s “Recommended Young Dressage Sires” catalogue. Leyenda XXXVIII is a gold medal Movement winner. Both come from unrelated sires known to transmit tremendous movement to their progeny.
