Riding a high quality horse is close to being a
guarantee for fun and satisfaction during your horse trekking
through Tuscany. We don't share the view of those who think a
mediocre horse is good enough for being a trekking horse. On the
contrary, especially during cross country riding a horse expresses
his full potential. The movements should be elegant, balanced,
rhythmic and comfortable. The walk must be forceful, steady and
safe, the trot abundant and elastic, the gallop driven from the
rear, vigorous but controlled. Horse riding is fun only on the back
of a horse with an appearing personality that does not limit itself
to stoically following the previous rider; a horse that is unafraid
and willing to communicate.
The Hanoverian horses at the stud Podere Palazzone are exactly
like this, due to their pedigree, due to the relationship we
cultivate with them and due to the education we have given them.
They offer you comfort and pleasure at walk or at gallop, in waters
or in forests, wherever you guide them.
Breeders are used to follow a concept in giving names to their
foals. So do we: We usually choose native Indian names. This is not for
reflecting our riding style, which is mainly classical English
riding. We took this decision to honor the relationship native
Indians have with nature and horses. We share their values of
love and respect towards the Creation. We do our best to act with
consideration and go easy on resources.
Wilardo
16.3 hands, 1991, gelding
Windmesser xx - Lukrativ (Lugano) - Schabernack
Intelligent, careful and a gallop "light as
feather": You will fall in love with Wilardo at first
sight. Absolutely unafraid of anything, he is perfect for beginners,
for those simply striking for pleasure on horseback in Tuscany's
nature and for those who want to "ride like the wind".
Genesee (beautiful valley)
16.6 hands, 1998, mare
Graf Top - Drosselklang II - Lakai
Genesee is approved for the selection
programme of the Hanoverian jumping horse. She is a real athlete,
with a beautiful head and marvellous eyes, strong and compact. Ride
her with a soft hand to appreciate her unconditional cooperation and
her and superb elastic trot.
Rangoon
16.9 hands, 2000, gelding
Ricardo (Ramiro) - Power Prince (Pilot) - Waldsee
Powerful gelding, docile and friendly, wonderful
trustable fellow in any circumstance. Nothing will prevent him from
carrying the rider where he guides him. He is very generous in
forgiving riders' mistakes and therefore he is suitable also to the
scarcely experienced rider.
Lomasi (flower of the prairie)
16.9 cm, 2002, mare, Staatsprämie
Londonderry - Brentano II - Legat
The Grande Game of stud Podere Palazzone. Elegance, spectacular movements and the right dose of
thoroughbred (from Lauries Crusador xx) for making her
indefatigable. A challenging jewel for the riders who is able
honoring such an excellent horse in manège and in trekking.
Heyoka (friend of the creatures of thunder)
17.2 cm, 2004, gelding
Heraldik xx - Power Prince (Pilot) - Waldsee
Half-brother to the two gold medals in eventing
at the Olympic Games China 2008. Perfect athlete, sensational free gallop
and great movements. You will appreciate his high rideability. This
is the right horse for the sportive rider aiming at strong emotions.
Shikoba (feather)
16.5 cm, 2005, mare
Samarant (Sandro Hit) - Power Prince (Pilot) - Waldsee
Young horse with a golden heart and the
characteristic elegant movements of her grandfather Sandro Hit.
Clearly visible the presence of thoroughbred in her pedigree. The
power of her mother-line from the stallion Pilot makes
her a most perseverant companion during trekking.
Rowtag (fire)
16.2 hands, 2006, gelding
Rascalino - Londonderry - Brentano II
His Majesty. Beautifully built with a marked neck and a strong compact body. He is a little macho, who knows
being handsome and acts accordingly while showing up. He has superb movements in all three gaits. Good sensitive riders do enjoy him a lot.
Ehawee (laughing maiden)
16.5 hands, 2006, mare
Electro (Voltaire) - Major de la Cour - Quat'Sous
Always in a good mood Ehawee wants to be ridden with a soft hand. She likes both, ride outs as well as working in the arena. And why not, from time to time a good show jumping course.
With her beautiful big lady-like eyes she is literally an eye catcher.
Daisy
15.2 cm, 1994, mare
Allen xx - Paint
This horse is truly different from all others:
She is trained in English and Western riding and is particularly
easy handling. She walks up the steepest hills and crosses the
deepest forests. Given her friendly character we use her
also for walking at the lounge with the youngest cow-boys.
