Not-So-Speedy Dressage
From Endurance to Dressage
A week or so ago I shared a post about Izzy's sire line. I had photos from several generations of grandsires, but I was missing a photo of Izzy's dad. I knew someone would be able to help, and sure enough my super techy friend, Mia, delivered. Many thanks to her for finding pictures of Inbegriff, Izzy's sire. So here they are again, this time with all the boys pictured. While not the worst photo ever, it certainly doesn't show him looking his best, especially lined up alongside his very handsome family. I definitely need to work on getting a more attractive conformation shot.
Thanks, Mia! Now I know what Inbegriff looks like.

Inbegriff is the coolest name ever. 4/26/2018 12:20:21 pm
You would know better than anyone. I think it means, "perfect example". Is that right? It follows perfectly from is sire, Ideal (pronounced eedeeall), but I don't know what "Ideal" means in German, if anything. :0)

Izzy is just as handsome as the others in his pedigree. 4/26/2018 12:21:34 pm
Aw ... that's really sweet of you to say. His torso is handsome, but his head lacks the beauty that the Arabs have. I am kind of stuck on those Arabs (I've had 4 :0) Comments are closed.

About the Writer and RiderI am a lifelong rider.
I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010. Welcome to my dressage journey. About Speedy GSpeedy went from endurance horse to dressage horse.
