Three truly stunning paces. Floating elevation. Natural rhythm and balance.

Athletic, scopey jump with great technique.

Very trainable brain. Willing and eager to learn. Never hots up.

Beautiful looking horse with enormous presence. Always turns heads in any company.

Bold cross country with good natural gallop.

Horses of this calibre are very rarely found. He has 150% of everything it takes to make a top world class Eventer.

We are proud to have him as the ‘Signature' statement for Clifton Eventers – you can't get much better than this!

Absolutely must go to a very serious rider who will do him full justice.

Snaffle mouth, no martingale, all three phases.
