Well, somehow I did it, I sold my lovely man. Shantaylah lodge in QLD were kind enough to take him on soon after my riding accident in January 2004. He has made a great bond with Taylah Andrews and has carried this little rider to much show ring success. It seemed only natural that when asked if I would sell him that I could part with him to such a great home.
"Oska" has the most beautiful nature, to match a trully gorgeous looking creature. I love everything about him, he has a fantastic front, light floating movement with a very pretty head.
