Our planned coloured foal for 2020! Unfortunately we missed out on the dots, but are delighted with this leggy, elegant filly. Sired by Sartors Supermodel out of Bradgate Park Olympia. Expected to mature 16.2-17hh. Will be a true dressage superstar that will stand out in the crowd. 

​

Knabstruppers are valued for their kind temperaments, high level of trainability, playfulness, sanity, strength, stamina and good health as well as for their wonderful colour. Over the past two centuries, there have come to be two rather distinct types of Knabstruppers: the Sport Horse type and the Baroque type. The Sport Horse type has been bred to excel in dressage, eventing and show jumping and has been developed by crossing the Knabstrupper with the warmblood sport horses of Europe, most notably the Danish Warmblood and the Trakehner.  The Sport-type Knabstrupper is lighter boned, highly athletic, and excels at multiple disciplines.   The most common of the two types, it embodies the spirit of today's working warmblood horse; powerful muscular structure coupled with a slightly narrower structure; designed for greater speed and agility.  
Their willingness to work and eager ambitions to please, make them a steady favorite amongst breeders around the world.
