Trainer's
Opinion: When you first see Xotogan you will think we
measured him wrong. He looks much bigger than 16 hands.
Johnny, his current trainer, riding him in the DVD is over
6 feet tall. This horse is handsome, with super bone and
stature. His beautiful head and well set arched neck,
lovely correct proportions, make him look as if he is 17
hands under saddle. He has progressed very correctly in
his training. He loves to learn new things and has
already started successfully half pass, simple changes and
a single flying change. Xotogan is very steady and
concentrates hard on what his rider asks. You easily can
see his great attitude by his lack of resistance in his
work. He is an extremely confident happy horse. He likes
to nap in his stall every day. There have been many times
where his grooms just braid him or begin to clean him up
while he sleeps, instead of making him get up. He is a
lovely horse to work with and will make his new owner very
proud. He is all business; this horse shows tremendous
potential to climb the levels of dressage easily. Xotogan
is a big horse to ride and gives a big feeling. A
confident rider with a good training program will be a
wining combination! This is a super horse with a very
bright future!
