PRE, Gelding, 7 years, 16.1 hh, Grey

Listing Overview

Here's a PRE gelding who's already proven himself worthy of the Dutch National Championships at just seven years old, combining the breed's signature presence with the work ethic to win from his very first outing. His competition record speaks to real substance: first place against experienced riders in his debut, then fourth from a field of 66 to earn his qualification spots, followed by an eighth place finish at the national level. What makes him particularly appealing is how an amateur rider brought him to these results, a testament to his balanced, people-oriented temperament and his willingness to perform under pressure. His pedigree threads together performance-focused dressage lines through Datúro III with the baroque substance and character stability of his dam's Escalera and Militar heritage, the kind of breeding that produces both the collection aptitude for upper-level work and the mental reliability to get there. He moves with that light, harmonious quality you want in an FEI prospect, and his refinement means he's genuinely rideable for the ambitious amateur rather than requiring a professional's hand. If you've been looking for a horse who can take you confidently into the Prix St. Georges years while still being a pleasure to work with daily, this gelding offers that increasingly rare combination of proven competitive success and genuine tractability.
