Waiki's half-steps with contact	Half steps (close to piaffe) on a loose rein

  

Friedrich Dreyer, the same gentleman who commented on Pari told me this about Waikato: „that one is psycho. You shouldn’t buy this one.“ This time he was right.

Waiki is easily spooked and his sudden leaps can leave you hanging in mid-air. But if you can redirect all this excessive energy then you have a horse that is a hard working athlete. It is a great pleasure to work with a bombastic horse like Waikato (always hoping to be ready for that next spook)
