PAPILLON CEN
( Reg and Graded PRE Stallion from the famous Centurion stud in Spain )
Another stunning boy joining us at our open day 23rd March 2024
Standing at stud in the UK for the first time, with many offspring in Spain.
Offering some of the absolute best PRE breeding as his Sire is Kabileño VIII, who was awarded an “ Elite “ distinction, one of only 6 PRE stallions world wide.
“ Papi “ is safe, sane and sound, and although he spent his entire life being a breeding stallion in Spain, up until he arrived here in the UK a short few months ago, he thrives on work and is schooling medium showing promise to reach the higher levels due to both trainability and natural talent.
He appears to “ stamp “ his foals with his wonderful temperament as well as substance, bone and incredible movement.
He will be available to a limited number of mares as he is now my competition horse and will continue with both BD and MCI in 2024.
VIKANDER
Vikander is a exciting 6 year old Oldenburg stallion graded with the AES. At 170cm tall, with long elegant limbs, he has a superb uphill frame and an exquisite head. With a naturally quick and active hindleg, he is finding the collected work easy and shows huge potential for the Grand Prix movements.
Vikander boasts an impressive pedigree. His sire, Blue Hors Veneziano, was competed internationally by young rider Laura Kristine Thorup in the Under 25 Grand Prix. Veneziano is by the legendary Vivaldi, outstanding sports horse producer and stallion maker, who has most definitely stamped Vikander with his amazing looks, trainable temperament, and exceptional movement.
On his dam's side, the inclusion of Blue Hors Zack adds to Vikander's talent. The end result being a stallion with a very exciting future ahead of him.
He has a big and elastic walk, which collects easily to the piaffe. The trot is rhythmical and uphill, with super lift and suspension, his passage is particularly exciting. The canter is powerful and balanced with plenty of air time making the flying changes second nature.
At just 6 yrs old, Vikander is working towards Advanced Medium. He is currently competing Elementary level, and is unbeaten in the last year both locally and regionally. He boasts stores of up to 80% at novice and Elementary level, and was crowned double champion at the recent winter regionals.
