MI PRECIOSO is an ethereal grey mare of outstanding and prized Classical Spanish bloodlines, with famous old horses up close in her pedigree.  She is surely ‘Spanish’ in her easy going temperament, beautiful and very sweet natured.  MI PRECIOSO is gentle and quiet to ride, but she can put on quite a ‘show’ when put in the arena at liberty. 

You can see the two sides of this lovely mare, in the videos here presented.  You will see that MI PRECIOSO is regal and fiery when free in the arena, and loves to put on a show for you.  When MI PRECIOSO is ridden she is sensible and responsive to her rider. 

MI PRECIOSO (Flower) has been ridden by both adults and children, and everyone loves her.  She has been ridden in the arena and in the hills, and enjoys it all, she is a happy girl.  She earned her barn name of “Flower’ because of her sweet and lovely nature, and she is especially beautiful to look at too, altogether a Flower.
