BSS Angelos Vidadale (“Echo”)
5-Year-Old | 15.3hh | Chestnut Spot Gelding | Anglo European Studbook (AES)
A striking young gelding with exceptional presence, quality breeding, and a lovely temperament, Echo is an exciting prospect for a confident rider looking to produce a talented horse for the future.
Registered with the Anglo European Studbook (AES), Echo is by Angelo af Asgard and out of Jentle, combining the renowned Lord Leatherdale and Vivaldi bloodlines—breeding celebrated for producing expressive, athletic sport horses with excellent rideability and trainable temperaments.
Standing at 15.3hh, Echo is a compact, athletic gelding with a beautiful chestnut spotted coat that never fails to attract attention. He has a correct frame, naturally balanced paces, and all the quality to excel in the right hands.
Echo was professionally backed as a four-year-old, where he proved willing and eager to learn. After being turned away for a six-month winter break to mature and strengthen, he has returned to work and is now ready to continue his education. He is very much a young horse who would benefit from a confident, knowledgeable rider with patience and consistency—someone who enjoys producing young horses and wants to put their own stamp on one.
Echo has plenty of power, presence, and athleticism, and genuinely enjoys having a job to do. He thrives on regular, consistent work and is not a horse that benefits from long periods off, as time away from work tends to leave him feeling fresh and full of energy.
Following his six-month break, Echo had a few playful leaps during his first couple of rides back under saddle while readjusting to work. Since then, he has been foot-perfect, genuine, and willing in everything asked of him.
He has continued to progress exceptionally well and has recently attended his first showjumping competition, where he behaved impeccably. He worked confidently in the warm-up alongside other horses for the first time and took the whole experience in his stride, proving just how willing and sensible he is when given confidence and consistency.
On the ground, Echo is a genuinely kind, sweet-natured horse who is a pleasure to have around the yard. He is well behaved to load and travel, hacks confidently alone and in company, and takes new experiences in his stride. He has a willing attitude and genuinely enjoys learning, making him a lovely horse to work with every day.
To give complete confidence to his next home, Echo has undergone a full veterinary health check, including back X-rays, all of which are clear. He is in excellent health, has no vices, and is ready to continue progressing.
With his quality breeding, athletic ability, eye-catching looks, trainable attitude, and positive start to his competition career, Echo has all the ingredients to develop into a very smart competition horse. We believe he would be particularly well suited to dressage or showjumping, where his movement, power, and scope can be fully developed by the right rider.
