A ten year old KWPN gelding, dark bay, 168 cm, bred in the Netherlands. He is by Latour VDM, a Darco son who was champion at the Belgian Warmblood stallion approvals, out of a Lucky Boy mare.

He has been out competing every season since he was four, and he has the mileage to show for it. 115 starts, at home in Estonia and across Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Belgium, with the same rider throughout. The one gap is 2025, when his rider was out of action with a back injury and the horse had the year off.

Competition highlights

  • World Breeding Championships for Young Horses, Lanaken, 2021: both qualifiers and the consolation round at 1.25 m
  • Winner of a national young horse qualifier as a five year old, with a clear round
  • Second in the Estonian Amateur Championship as a six year old, clear in both legs
  • CSIYH1* six and seven year old classes in Riga
  • Has competed in classes up to 1.30 m

In daily life

He is as straightforward out of the saddle as he is in it. Good with the farrier, easy to clip, and no stable vices. He likes people and he likes attention. He is happy turned out, he is good to hack, and he loads and travels so quietly that you forget he is on the lorry.

Who he suits

A child coming off ponies, or a young rider who wants to jump bigger tracks on a horse that will look after them. He is easy going and rather forward, light in the hand and respectful of the leg. He learns quickly and he wants to work. Above all he is honest to the fence and he does not stop. This is a horse you learn on, not a horse you have to ride perfectly.

Videos

He is ridden by a junior rider in both videos.
