1. What makes Pablo so special to you?

“Pablo is a very special horse. It was love at first sight when we met and we bonded right away. Every time I see Pablo, I get a smile on my face. He is such a good horse and he is so sweet to all the people around him.”

2. How is Pablo to drive?

“He is certainly not the easiest horse to ride. Although he is a real learning horse and does everything correctly, he is a challenge and that is what I love about him. Lori Bell, his owner was his previous rider. She rode Grand Prix with him.”

3. How is Pablo in the stable?
“Pablo is very social in the stable. He always stands with his head out of the stall and always has his ears forward when you walk by. He loves to eat and will do anything for a treat! When it's feeding time, he neighs to make sure you don't forget to feed him."

4. What's the best thing you've experienced with Pablo so far?

“Pablo guided me through my first international competitions and my first year riding in the juniors. This year we went to the North American Dressage Junior Championships. We finished in the top ten all three days and I was the best Canadian rider in the ranking with him. I think that was our best performance. Pablo has recently retired. He is back with his owner and during the day he enjoys a very large meadow. He also loves to ride outside.”

5. Have you ever visited a foal auction? Would you buy a foal at an auction or would you prefer to buy a three or four year old?
“I've never attended an auction, but it's definitely something I want to do in the future. I think I would prefer to buy a three or four year old.”
