Clifton Domino

Unbelievable mover

7yo 16.1hh Bay TB Gelding

Almost unheard of combination of the natural elevation of a warmblood with the lightness and forward movement of a thoroughbred. Excellent rhythm – when asked for more the stride just gets even bigger and ground-covering, rather than faster. Responsive and easy to ride.

First dressage test scored 75.7%:

• Paces -8- ‘Trot and Canter show lovely freedom and regularity'.
• 8 – Impulsion - ‘Showing nice suppleness'.
• 8 – Submission.
• 9 – Working trot – ‘lovely regular steps'.
• 9 – Trot change rein and progressively show some lengthened strides – ‘very nice'.

Other dressage judges comments:

• ‘Horse has lovely ground-covering paces'.
• ‘Lovely forward movement'.

One dressage judge actually came to find owner at the end to say this was the nicest young horse they had seen in a long time. (In their opinion nicer moving than Clifton Signature who was in same class – he won the Young Event Horse Championship at Puhinui 2009 and is a warmblood by Esprit).

By Dom Tristram.

Has been seen to windsuck occasionally when tied up to a rail.

Could specialise in straight dressage, but taking nothing away from his willingness to jump. He is honest and bold at any cross country or showjumping question.

• Training level horse trials. Great with chevrons / skinnies, banks, water, ditches and showjumping fill.
• Easy going nature with other horses and people. Graze in a herd or alone.
• Easy to clip/shoe/float/catch.
• Great to hack out alone and in company.

Priced at NZ$10,000 + GST for quick sale. Money Back Guarantee available to New Zealand buyers.
