Qharma d'Noble - "Q"
Qharma is a Lusitano mare. She has been with H2H for the past few years. And is currently in training to be started under saddle.
The Lusitano is an Iberian breed dating back to Ancient Roman times. To what is now modern-day Portugal. The Iberian Peninsula is derived of Spain and Portugal. The Iberian breed includes the Andalusian from Spain and the Lusitano from Portugal. They sometimes cross these breeds.
They were highly sought after by kings of old-world Europe. Today the Iberian can be seen in numerous equine disciplines.
Qharma is being shown and is doing well with in-hand classes at virtual shows.
Qhamra is here to help you with your equine connections.
***FUN FACT - both Qharma and Caetana are cousins as they share a great great grandsire on the Lusitano side****
Possible future horses of H2H - are the retired Caisson horse
Since the beginning of modern human history, the Horse has always played a role. With that we feel that when able to we want to give back to the Equine Veteran and give them a soft place to land. After their service to the Military has ended. We will be using them as part of our Equine Workshops.
So, in the near future we will be adopting one of the Caisson horses from the "Old Guard" - in Arlington, VA. This will be unique as the Caisson horse is also a United States Army Veteran (once they are retired from service). Then it will truly be a veteran helping another veteran.
The Caisson horses are various breeds, such as The Morgan, Standardbred, Quarter Horse, and Percheron crosses, and Mustang to name a few.
"More to follow with the Caisson horses."
