Captain is a 17.1hh, 12-year-old Belgian-bred gelding by Game Boy out of a Grandeur dam.
A true amateur’s dream and a top-of-the-range, gorgeous allrounder, he rides with clockwork consistency and presents a refined, athletic silhouette that makes riders look good with minimal effort.
Having spent most of his life in the same home, Captain has been correctly produced and cherished by an amateur rider. He is unmistakably top quality, and while a more ambitious or professional setting could have unlocked his full Grand Prix potential, his mileage has remained appropriately modest for his calibre. His temperament and talent are undeniable, and he is exceptionally polite both in and out of the stable.
Beautifully schooled with an eye-catching presence, Captain has exquisite paces, a head turning floating trot, and an incredibly comfortable canter. Established auto changes and a straightforward, rideable nature make him a standout for a rider seeking versatility and reliability. He would definitely be a top export opportunity for the USA with ease for hunters/equitation/jumpers and would slot straight into any program, poised to be highly competitive.
Captain consistently jumps clear rounds both show jumping tracks and cross-country courses with precision at 1.10–1.20m. He adapts to the rider’s needs, stepping up or down as required, and is always balanced, with a clear sense of his own stride.
Captain would thrive in pure dressage, eventing, show jumping, or even a glamorous addition to the hunt field. He is beautifully schooled, sensible, and impeccably mannered, hacking out alone or in company. He is polite, easy, and free from vices in every way.
Handsome, exceptionally talented all-rounder with the temperament to suit an amateur or professional program alike, Captain is a rare find, he is a privilege to own and an absolute delight to ride.
A 5* home is a must for this absolute gentleman.
