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.
Wilardo
16.3 hands, 1991, gelding
Windmesser xx - Lukrativ (Lugano) - Schabernack
Intelligent, careful and a gallop "light as
feather": Impossible not falling 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
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
16.9 cm, 2002, mare, Staatsprämie
Londonderry - Brentano II - Legat
The grande dame of stud Podere Palazzone. Pure
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
valorising such an excellent horse in manége and in trekking.
Heyoka
17.2 cm, 2004, gedling
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
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 generating from the stallion Pilot makes
her a most perseverant companion during trekking.
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.
Gazal
15.0 cm, 1990, gelding
Gazal XIII - Hadban - Koheilan
Gazal is a mature Arabian horse, calm, gentle and
reliable: the first love of any young rider. A touch of "thousand
nights and one night" in Volterra, Italy. Nobody knows better than
him how to patiently and professionally teach horse riding to children.
