J L D EQUINE

Such a good boy, especially as he has been in AI Stallion training all week so I have not been able to ride him and he had a particularly difficult and long session yesterday I nearly didn’t go to the show as I was a little concerned about how he would behave and how sore he maybe.  But I troted him up this morning and he looked fine so I decided to give it go !

Yes he is just such an amazing little horse now a Licensed Stallion and available this year !  We were running a little late yesterday as I only had half an hour to get Zaino back home and collect Brennus, but he is just so reliable nothing bothers him his temperament is to die for.  I just pulled him out the lorry pouring with rain very windy quick 20 minute warm up and into the arena we go.  Just a couple of silly mistakes and 68.24% and a comment from the judge ‘very talented bundle of energy with soooo much ability !’  He really is a dream horse !

Zaino held it together in the PSG to score 62.5% and come third in the rain and wind and with horses galloping down the side of the arena.  We just need to work on his strength now to achieve the higher marks remembering that he is not even 8 year old until next month !  I am not only very proud of him but a big fan as he has always lacked confidence in himself.

Brennus B is now able to cover 30 mares per year.  This super horse has amazing talent and a perfect temperament   with first class breeding.  He has the blood of champions flowing through his veins.  His dam line Reine B is the fantastic Rubinstein mare who under Lotje Schoots worked her magic and brought several medals home for Holland.  2006 Team Gold Medal, 2007 Dutch National Champion, European Team Gold, Individual Silver Medallist, 2008 European Young Rider Gold Team Gold.  Not to mention the countless international wins this Dam accumulated.  Brennus B is sired by the champion stallion Diamond Hit who descends from none other that the Fairytale stallion, Donnerhall.
