"Riot" is bred to the eyeballs for
competition. His outstanding pedigree is
crammed with the best jumper blood,
along with exceptional movement
capability.
He is approx 70%
Holsteiner & 30% Hanoverian. The
Holsteiner C-line and Hanoverian G-line
both guarantee performance ability,
especially for outstanding jumping
power.
Genetically hot wired to
excel, Riot cannot disappoint. He is
bouncy and leggy with substantial muscle
& bone - already demonstrating a regal,
masculine presence and 3 elastic,
correct gaits. His temperament is calm,
curious & level headed –thanks to the
exceptional rideability that the Capitol
I line produces. He is a special horse,
& should finish a beautiful 17hh+, grey.
