Jurgen is a beautiful, modern model with an exceptional brain and attitude — a type that is increasingly hard to find. He is naturally balanced, athletic, and straightforward, with a kind, genuine nature that makes him a pleasure to have around.

He has received extensive flatwork training with a Grand Prix dressage rider and has been produced carefully up to Advanced Medium level at home. He shows three correct, straight paces with plenty of natural stride, established lateral work, clean changes, and is very adjustable within the gait. He is an intelligent horse who learns quickly and genuinely wants to please.

Jurgen won at his first dressage show, taking the environment completely in his stride. He is not sharp or excitable and is easy to manage in his work — currently ridden just three days a week and remains settled, focused, and rideable.

Although he hasn’t jumped much in recent years, his early jumping education and natural ability remain very evident. The quality of his flatwork has only enhanced his jumping: he is naturally rhythmic, adjustable into and between fences, and comfortable moving up or down the canter, including jumping from pace. He is brave with fillers, unfazed by farm machinery, and not spooky. With the right rider, he would be an exciting showjumping prospect with scope for 1.30m+, while also being an attractive option for a competitive dressage or all-round competition home.

He has a fantastic temperament — friendly, affectionate, and easy to handle, with a lot of heart. He enjoys attention and forms a strong bond with his people.

He can show a mild headshake on occasion, which is easily managed with a nose net. This has been fully investigated with vets, and I’m very happy to discuss this openly with serious enquiries.
