History
Capricho was bred by Jorge de Moya. He came to Narrawin Stud in late 2010 as a present from Jorge when he disbanded his stud. I don’t really wish to sell this horse and will gladly have him stay here, but would consider selling him to someone special as I don’t have a lot of time for him.
Gaits & Movement
Well gaited and smooth in corto. Potential for fino. Also has a rocking horse canter.
Conformation Notes
Very well put together, tall and strong gelding. Was going to be a herd sire and only gelded due to a retained testicle. Really beautiful horse. For more current pictures, please see his Narrawin Stud Facebook album
Personality
Capricho is great to handle. Showing a lot of brio, he is easy to ride, brave and will give me everything and some more. He has been mostly used for trail riding and has proven himself alone and on longer rides in larger groups, where he chews up the grownd like nobody’s business and is so comfortable to ride. He did some schooling in lateral work. He was also introduced to trail obstacles and weapons handling, and we played around with the skill at arms set and the garrocha. He is showing a lot of potential in that area. He was also easy to get used to weapons, flags and armour and appeared to enjoy the extra challenge. He has been ridden and enjoyed by visitors. He was gelded late, so he is best paddocked with mares, as he tends to pick fight with some geldings.
Genetics
Capricho is from predominantly Puerto Rican lines. He is a great-grand-son of Bochica on his dam’s side, and on the sire’s side, has Alicante in pedigree.
