Typical traits of foals
Great length of rein and very high rideability.

Goals for this horse in the next few years
Work his way back to Grand Prix!!!

Best pace and why
Collection – seriously, this horse can collect!

Temperament in 3 words
Friendly, Calm and affectionate!

Rideability
Being able to ride a horse with his ability is special. But then you start to collect, and DD just tries harder, and harder and harder! It’s easy to see his front legs from the saddle! The passage is spectacular – he gets off the ground so effortlessly!

Suits following types of mares
He’s a very correct type of horse so could be bred to just about anything from a thoroughbred to a heavy warmblood. He would suit mares who need a little more ability and a little better trainability installed in the offspring!

Expected service fee for next season
$2800 LFG. Fresh, frozen or chilled semen available.
