This 17.2hh big boned stallion was a correct<br />
stamp with a lovely temperament and is aimed<br />
at making his international Grand Prix debut<br />
in <strong>2020</strong>.<br />
Another stallion to catch the eye with more<br />
advanced work was Caunton Manor Stud’s<br />
Branduardi (Breitling W x Weltmeyer).<br />
Already successful up to Inter 1, he is modern<br />
in his frame with some thoroughbred blood<br />
Oxfordshire based Don Dante (Dancier x<br />
Salvano) has a good track record to Inter 1.<br />
He demonstrated he is working towards<br />
Grand Prix starting the piaffe and passage<br />
work and showing nice clean two time<br />
tempi changes. Catherston Stud brought four<br />
stallions forward, with the truly dual purpose<br />
Timolin (Totilas x Sion). After showing his<br />
jumping ability in the eventing section,<br />
Timolin came back out to showcase his<br />
dressage talent. Already competing at<br />
Inter 1, he showed his development towards<br />
Grand Prix.<br />
Ashwey Laurenzo<br />
Woodlander Stud always bring a good<br />
selection of stallions to this event and<br />
Woodlander Double Bubble (Don Frederic<br />
x Rousseau) and Wavavoom (Weltregent x<br />
Longchamp) did not disappoint. Both are<br />
now in training with Luis Principe who rode<br />
them here. Double Bubble is only 6 this year<br />
but is really catching the eye. A big powerful<br />
horse, he is already showing talent for the<br />
start of piaffe work demonstrating half steps.<br />
Wavavoom is a really neat compact little<br />
horse and with sons and grandsons licensing<br />
in Germany he is proving to be a real flagship<br />
for <strong>British</strong> breeding.<br />
Luke Baber-Davies did an excellent job<br />
professionally showcasing his team of three<br />
young stallions both under saddle and in the<br />
stable area. The 4 year old Versace (Vivaldi x<br />
Davignon II) is stamped by his popular sire,<br />
Vivaldi, and it is interesting to see a quality<br />
son standing in the UK.<br />
Philanderer<br />
Warwickshire based FHS Diamond In The<br />
Rough (Solitaire x Strong Gale xx) is an<br />
interesting stallion who has moved from<br />
eventing to dressage. His damsire was a<br />
significant National Hunt sire and his sire is a<br />
son of the legendary Voltaire. He won his<br />
Area Festival at AM and is now competing at<br />
PSG.<br />
Throughout the day there was a good<br />
selection of blood lines, ability and<br />
performance records for <strong>British</strong> breeders to<br />
choose from.<br />
The whole day was a very useful<br />
exercise for <strong>British</strong> breeders offering plenty of<br />
food for thought with mixture of established<br />
talent and some exciting young stallions to<br />
watch out for. We look forward to another<br />
great event in 2021.<br />
