About Vida:
Vida do Vouga is a sweetheart of a mare with a pretty head, a happy personality and a friendly eye. Lovely to ride, she has a consistent and even temperament – not like a typical mare at all! Soft in the mouth, she is also sensitive to the rider’s leg and responsive in every way. Vida displays three correct gaits, is well balanced and offers a smooth ride. This sweet mare can perform all of the basic dressage movements and has also been trained for show jumping, having jumped up to 1.20m (3 ft) in competitions. In dressage, Vida is starting lateral movements and flying changes. A top horse in multiple disciplines, Vida do Vouga can easily be ridden by an amateur rider of any age!
