Since his import to the USA, he has continued to rack up accomplishments including 2014 USDF Horse Of The Year and 2016 NDPC AA Champion at 3rd Level.

Paizlee
Pablito / Holly Hill Bartholomew / Gayfields Glory Hallelujah
Paizlee is a lovely mare, with a kind and honest character. She possesses all the qualities of a successful dressage horse in a fun sized package - she is naturally forward thinking, extremely powerful and very expressive in her movements. She has good shoulder freedom and activity in the foreleg and her hindleg is strong and reaching with good hock articulation. Paizlee has a natural ability to collect and is highly adjustable within her gaits. She has a correct, clear four beat walk, with good energy and overtrack. Her trot is big and elastic and her canter is uphill, expressive, and balanced.
Paizlee was successfully shown in the hunter ring by both a professional and junior rider prior to joining our program. She is an extremely talented jumper, demonstrating exceptional scope and technique over fences.
