This impressive almost black son of Suluk is an outstanding horse with a beautiful head, expressive paces and a huge careful jump. He has a fantastic temperament, a very kind eye and excellent bloodlines linking him to some of the top racehorses of all time. His pedigree has been carefully chosen since 1939 to produce an outstanding performance sire for eventing, show jumping and all round competition horses.

As a three year old he was placed 3 rd and 4 th in the Scottish Loose Jumping Young Horse Series narrowly missing out on qualifying for the finals. The judges commented on his fabulous attitude scoring 8.5 for his technique, scope and suitability. His classic careful technique over a big fence is the type you would only normally find in a warm blood but having hunted as a youngster he can also gallop across country with the best of them being bold and brave into water etc. He was jumping consistent double clears, and working at elementary level dressage but has had to retire on vets advice from competition due to a ham string injury.

The immediate family to this lovely stallion are out and out performers being out of the same mare as Grade A showjumper/Eventer and graded sports horse stallion Ganton Rufus, and full brother to intermediate Eventer Rubric 50 British Eventing points 2007 competing CCI* level and Eventer/Showjumper Right Boy.

He has produced some beautifully marked coloured foals to coloured mares, with the ability to produce quality stock with exceptional temperaments and exquisite heads, he adds quality, length of leg and rein to heavier types of mares. He is very experienced with his mares a perfect gentleman when covering carrying a predominant bay gene and has so far never thrown chestnut.

Beltaine has the ability to consistently produce fabulous stock and to inject quality and blood into all types of mares the beautiful head was inherited from his mother and is passed on to all his foals.

We also consider him to be an excellent cross to pony mares to produce working hunters, small hunters and welsh partbreds.

He was given an NTR passport from 7 generations back in his pedigree, there was a discrepancy and although the named horse was found to be full thoroughbred, due to the war was given an NTR passport.

Progeny from Ganton Beltaine out of Weatherby's GSB and NTR mares are eligible to race under rules and include.
