Name: Novilheiro Interagro (aka Novey)
Location: Loxahatchee, Florida
Trainer: Laura Ashley Killian
Discipline: Dressage
“His owner, Laura Just, saw Novilheiro’s video and was immediately interested in the blood bay gelding. She had just retired an older dressage horse, and was looking for a new prospect. Interagro was exceptionally thorough in presenting every aspect of this horse, from personality to ride ability to breeding to medical history. It gave Laura a lot of confidence to buy and import him as a five-year-old from Brazil sight unseen.
These serendipitous events have truly been the start of something beautiful. It has been a joy training Novey over the past year. He has a fantastic temperament, brain, and rideability. Everything comes so naturally to him! For example, he did clean flying changes both ways the first day I asked. He is so balanced that it makes my job effortless as his trainer. He is a star in the show ring and easy going on the trails. He gives the rider a fantastic feeling, and lateral work comes exceptionally easy to him. Laura, his owner, lives out of state, and comes to ride and show periodically and even as a young horse he takes it all in stride. Not only is he handsome and talented, he is also such a sweet and silly boy. He loves attention and is very playful. He always makes me smile and is simply a joy to have around. I would fill a whole barn with horses like him if I could!
Laura and I have been enjoying our journey together with Novey so much that there is talk about bringing in another just like him!
