Description
Name: DV Getaway Driver
Nickname: Porsche

Owner: Jen Bakshi/Kolora Park Equestrian
Rider:  Lily Bakshi/Ashley Fields

Age: 11
Gender: Gelding
Breed: Pure Australian Warmblood
  FFS Status: Clear
  Breed Grading: Quality (12)
Height: 14.3hh

Color: Grey (bay)
Genotype: Ee/aa/GG/nSty

Personality:   You could be forgiven for mistaking Porsche for one of the kid's lesson horses - depending on how much you like the kids. He is a typical grey - gets dirty at the first drop of rain - and also is about as small as warmbloods get. Don't be fooled - he is not a straightforward ride and most certainly not for the faint-hearted. He does just about every vice for showjumping in the book - charging at fences, head tossing, bucking and crowhopping between fences. However, he makes up for this with the heart of a lion. He jumps like an absolute stag, easily clearing well over his own height. He is stupidly fast, with phenomenal jumping form and no stop whatsoever. He is just nigh impossible to ride. On the ground, he is textbook easy to handle, enjoying grooming sessions and behaving more like a dog than a horse. He is brave and curious, and the first to approach a foreign object in the paddock (and proceed to stomp on it). He loves baths and will often try and grab the hose in his mouth and shake his head.

As a foal, he contracted Strangles through a breeder's boarded horse and was given a guarded prognosis. He managed to pull through, however it took a toll on his body and left him permanently stunted in growth. The breeder decided then to keep him intact for a few years in an attempt to have him reach his maximum height - he did not grow much more, however as a result he has a larger crest than most geldings. His exuberance under saddle is difficult to control - he resents being 'over ridden' however simply being a passenger and letting him do as he pleases will risk life and limb. For this reason, he is unsuited high-level eventing and is outright dangerous on the cross country course. His strong suit are big, airy jumps - he will give his rider and excellent feeling sailing over huge oxers.

Notes:

- Short height as a result of contracting Strangles as a foal.

- Forelock has to be trimmed to keep it out of his eyes.

- Gelded late in an attempt to increase his size.
- Incredibly strong for his size
