Yardah Domingo WASJA june09
Written by admin on July 8, 2009 – 5:40 pm -
Domingo (AKA The Tail) began his Showjumping career for a bit of fun in March 2009 with a Young Rider. He has since successfully worked his way through the heights to 1.25m where he is now extremely competitive. His temperament is impeccable and he has passed this, as well as his stunning looks, to his progeny. Domingos temperament is such that Marji trusts him to be ridden by her young Grandchildren. He is also used as a school horse by visiting students at Yardah to train in Horsemastership and the Classical Equestrian Arts.Domingo is a PRE (Pura Raza Espanola), or as is more commonly known, the Pure Spanish Andalusian. Pure Spanish horses that are registered in the Studbook in Spain are correctly referred to as PRE, but are commonly referred to as “Andalusian’s.”
Andalusians are famous for their ability in performing Haute Ecole and Airs Above the Ground. That is, they are trained to jump over nothing! Now Domingo is learning how to jump over Something!
Domingo is the son of the famous Royal Champion Dulcero who was Champion Ridden Stallion at the Perth Royal Show beating all comers for 7 consecutive years. Dulcero also had a successful dressage career and was the favoured mount of Mestre Nuno Oliveira when he was teaching in Western Australia. Nuno can be seen riding Dulcero on the following links:
Dulcero is the male progenitor of the Spanish Warmblood breed.
Yardah horses are bred, and prepared for, long term soundness of body and mind. These horses have the advantage or being raised and run as a herd in a natural environment in large paddocks. This gives them the opportunity to develop and maintain their proprioreception. Horses which are born, raised and kept in small unnatural areas never have the chance of confronting their brain with this necessary sensory input.
Yardah horses do not start their training until they are at least 4 years old. They are trained on the flat both ridden and in-hand according to the classical principles, thus ensuring that they are strong, balanced, posturally correct and supple so that they can willingly do the job requested. This then reduces the risk of injury caused by unnecessary physical and mental stress. As they are all natural jumpers, it is then only a matter of them gaining the experience from attending competitions and practice sessions.
Marjis vision was (and still remains) to develop a breed of pleasurable, easily trained, and talented Dressage and jumping horses which are also suitable for riders with a passion for the Classical Equestrian Arts.
These horses are all competing in snaffle bits and Marjis ultimate aim is that a noseband, if any, will only be worn for cosmetic purposes; and that the horses will be trained so correctly that they will not need a martingale. Although in reality. nosebands and martingales may be worn as an insurance policy in important events.
Like all the other Yardah stallions, Domingo is available at stud this season and his progeny can be dual registered in both the Andalusian Horse ociation of Australia studbook and the Spanish Warmblood studbook.
A visit to our web site yardah.com will show more photos and other video links. PLEASE NOTE this site is currently being upgraded and we expect a much better quality product with more information to be completed by early July 09.
Purchase enquiries of horses and semen should be directed to our email yardah@westnet.com.au
Joint venture opportunities also available.

THE HORSES OF JEREZ
Written by admin on July 8, 2009 – 5:40 pm -
THE HORSES OF JEREZ…
The Horses at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
These pure bred Spanish horses put on quite a show inside the arena which last about 2 hours. Filming inside will get your stuff confiscated, but you may film some of the horses outside in the training area before the show.
They are truly magnificent animals of great beauty and strength.
Jerez is where you can also enjoy “Flamenco en Vivo” in the Barrio Santiago, which is considered to be the birthplace of this Berber, Moorish, and Gypsy art form in Europe.
Jerez is also known for it’s Sherry (Uh….the kind you drink), and Grand Prix motorcycle racing.
You can learn more about the School here:
