Who in the dressage world has not heard of the Spanish OlympicTeam Silver Medallist RAFAEL SOTO?

His charisma has earned him the respect and popularity of Dressage enthusiasts and fellow riders alike, the world over.

That final gesture and enthusiastic 'There you have it', followed by the flamboyant Spanish Walk performed by his partner 'Invasor' as they leave the ring, has become their trademark, and provokes uproars of applause and attracts audiences, wherever they go.

What most people don't know is that the spectacular 'Invasor' was a difficult horse in his youth and was rejected by other riders as 'impossible to train', due to his immense size, strength and laid-back disposition.
