IMPALA Z
Impala is a 2012 imported warmblood mare standing 17.2H. She has spent her life in the jumper ring with miles to the 1.35m. She has a beautiful jump and makes the lines easily with her big stride. Her easy changes and great ride-ability would make her a great equitation horse for a jr or amateur.

Priced between $75K-$100K

There is a reason, I think, that horsemanship is so hard to teach, and that is because it's truly an art and not a science.

You can go to school for art. You can learn from masters of a particular art form. You can study the chemical composition of your medium and learn about how those mediums behave in different circumstances. You can learn about the history of your art, how it originated and how it's evolved. You can study trends and dabble in different methodologies.

But no matter what, in order to become an artist, you have to experience it. You have obsess over it. You have to go to bed thinking about it and get up thinking about it. You have to become a little bit consumed by it. It drives your passion and your curiosity. You have to dedicate a part of your soul to its inception, creation and development. In some ways, you have to get to the point where you cannot separate yourself from it, as it has become a part of you and you of it.

I have received requests in the past asking me to write more about specific techniques, "how-to's", if you will. I will admit I struggle with this because it feels to me kind of like someone asking me how to have a conversation. I can give you a very general framework, but a conversation is intimate and personal. To write one for someone else would seem to me to be a request to boil down everything that is beautiful and awe-inspiring about horsemanship into base mechanical elements: important, but ultimately in my experience not AS important as the energy, flow and feeling of what is happening between the horse and the human.

Yes, you need a basic skillset to be an artist. You need to know how to hold the brush. You need to know how to choose a canvas. You need to know a thing or two about how your medium behaves and how to bring out the best in it.

But what ultimately creates art is the person behind the tools and the feeling within them. And since no teacher can create this for you, we simply have to try and set up scenarios and allow space and spark inspiration for people to go seek it within themselves.

Our Story

Specializing in competitive hunter/jumper training and sales. With two beautiful locations in both northern and southern California, we offer specific sales, training, and lessons programs ranging from the youngest beginner to the World Cup competitor.

Laura grew up in the central valley of California under the tutelage of her mother Jen Hannink. Riding and showing started at a very early age and has continued through the years of college and beyond. Laura rode for import sport horse sales of David Hopper inc. receiving horses from Europe and developing them under the scrutiny of David Hopper prior to returning to California and joining Jen in developing an upper level show jumping barn at Portuguese Bend Riding Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, Ca. There she handles the training and instruction program for young riders and horses who are destined for the show ring.

We would like to share with you our list of sales horses for your perusal. We have a variety available and encourage you to inquire about the details of those that may fit your needs. https://www.hanninkequine.com/sales
