Trainer's opinion: Rocas do Vouga always been given big importance for the correct basic work of the young horses. Taberneiro has been schooled both for Dressage and Jumping but so far only been shown very successful in Jumping and not competed in dressage. Trainer recomend him for both disciplines.
