11 YO dressage horse for lease / Horse For Lease in Ponder, Texas

Half Lease available in Ponder (Denton/ Argyle area) TX
Vital Statistic (Iliad)
16.1 hand Westphalian gelding
Terrific opportunity for someone looking to further their riding with a specific focus in dressage. Iliad is solid 1st level dressage (Proven show record at 1st level) and schooling all 2nd level and most 3rd level movements.

He would be best suited for someone confidently riding W/T/C; Iliad is smart and a blast to ride, but needs a semi-confident rider with soft hands, a good seat, and the ability to take an occasional testy "do you REALLY mean it?" joke. Great candidate for an AA with good feel, or Jr/YR who is looking for a step up mount with a bit more “oomph”.

Plenty of opportunities to get off site for trail rides, shows, camps, and clinics! Leaser would be welcome to show at their expense. Our barn is in Ponder (Denton area with 2 arenas, some areas to hack out on, and a fabulous lesson/ training program with an accomplished FEI rider, L graduate, and USDF
Silver Medalist.

Happy to be flexible on many of the details for the right match- as the perfect match for my perfect guy is most important. He does have some past injuries that limit his performance career (really should stay at or below 3rd level)- but he stays comfortable and lower level competitive with minimal maintenance. Please pm for more info!
