‘Denver’ born June 2023, rising 2, bay based leopard spot Knabstupper x Thoroughbred gelding, displaying an abundance of sport horse potential. His sire is the lifetime premium graded Knabstrupper stallion, ‘Houdini at Little Uncle’ KNN 247 out of a Wetherby’s Thoroughbred racing and polo mare.
‘Houdini’ (167cm) is by the German Knabstrupper ‘Little Holiday’ whose sire was the advanced dressage stallion ‘Hamlet Frydenlund’. ‘Houdini’ was known for his paces (scoring all 9s at grading) and his really gentle temperament which ‘Denver’ has inherited. His damsire is ‘Baron aus der schutzentenhand’, the renowned classic Knabstrupper sire.
His dame ‘Rosita’ (158cm) ran four races for the Muscat Rose syndicate and then continued her career as a Polo pony until she was 12 then becoming a brood mare and Denver’s mum.
‘Denver’ is affectionate, gentle, intelligent, responsive and easy to handle. Three beautiful paces, floats from a standstill to a canter and loves to show off his athleticism and speed playing out in the field.
He will excel in many disciplines, but I believe he will be particularly suited to eventing / jumping / dressage. Plus, those beautiful spots make him look very flashy. He certainly has the ‘Wow’ factor and is a real head turner! Currently standing around 150cm and has lots of growing and filling out yet to do.
Vaccinated, regularly wormed and hooves trimmed. He is well handled, lives in or out. He is very willing and interested to learn and is ready for his next stages of training, getting out and seeing the world and starting his ridden education as he matures and continues to grow.
We will be very sad to see him go but we know that he belongs in a competitive home where he can fulfil his potential.
He is currently located near Catterick in North Yorkshire.
