A powerful horse with top class competition breeding who rides like a seasoned hunter with the agility of a JA jumping pony. His natural elevation and good straight action make him a perfect choice for mares requiring more quality and athleticism he is also very kind and quiet, making an ideal choice for nervous and maiden mares. This genuine performance stallion hacks out alone or in the company of mares, combines quality, good looks and superb paces with a temperament second to none - a real quality all rounder, how many stallions can boast British Eventing points, British dressage points and BSJA winnings.
