Listing Overview
Cheese is the kind of horse who makes Grand Prix ambitions feel genuinely within reach. Bred and developed by Takapoto Stables with a focus on correct fundamentals and long-term soundness, this 10-year-old son of Check In II brings the complete package: a scopey, ground-covering stride paired with that careful, classical technique you actually need at height. Currently competing confidently through 1.30m-1.35m and stepping toward 1.40m, he's showing the brave, willing mind that separates horses who jump big from those who truly want to. What his trainer emphasizes most, though, is his temperament. He's the rare competitive jumper who forms a real connection with his rider and remains straightforward to work with every day, easy in all the ways that matter when you're managing a horse at this level.
