Qualified successfully with young rider for 6yo Show Jumping Champs final at HOYS 2007 and competed there at their first 1.30m class.
Very technically correct jumper with great technique. Careful but bold.
Three lovely paces and always produces a consistent, calm, accurate dressage test. Scored 75% first time in arena when he won his first Training Horse Trial. Consistently scored in high 60s and 70s since then with a variety of riders. Judges comments include:
- Lovely horse.
- Nicely supple with engagement and active.
Light and confident.
Regularly scores 8s and even 9s in collective marks.
Good-looking, eye-catching horse. Great opportunity for someone wanting to have a horse with consistent good results in Eventing, but also able to show jump, dressage, show and probably hunt – as they wish.
Lovely nature, easy horse. Snaffle in all three phases, no martingale.
