Bandalero was imported through Hans Hofscher in Germany when he was a barely broke 4 year old. This is the 2nd horse that Kathy trained to the FEI levels herself. He won local, regional and national awards every year at every level. Since Bandalero left Silverleaf Farm he has taken his new owner to the NAYRC in both 2001 and 2003. Kathy feels very gratified that she was able to develop this lovely horse to go on to a successful Advanced Young Rider Competitor.
