This colt is such a super character. He is bold, brave, intelligent and he has a big generous personality with a confident, friendly nature. 'Astro' loves attention and enjoys human company. He is always incredibly engaged and quick to learn. He is powerfully built and has a conformation ideal for show jumping as you would expect from his breeding.

He is quick, balanced and demonstrates pleasing, expressive paces and a natural aptitude for great agility at speed!
His nature is naturally calm and trusting with a kind, if occasionally cheeky personality. He has a temperament that makes him a true delight to handle and work with. This is going to be a very special horse with a huge competitive future and one to be seriously considered in terms of having a potentially big future in sport with bloodlines to back our confidence in his future. Astro's breeding is absolutely outstanding and makes him an extremely exciting prospect for someone looking for a future show jumper with the providence of champions running throughout his faultless pedigree and the brain of a winner.
GFS Astronova is currently entire and considered to potentially have the attributes desirable in future breeding stallion should he fulfil his promise.

A little about the breeding:
Ahorn competed at top International level and consistently placed in World Cups and Grand Prix competitions representing the Netherlands in Nations Cup competitions and was short-listed for the Barcelona Olympics. This earned him the prefix 'Olympic'. Ahorn is descended from one of the famous Holstein Families, no. 242 and is related to Joost, Alcatraz and Locarno. Ahorn's offspring continue the success with a number of progeny competing at International level. In recognition of his outstanding contribution to Dutch Breeding, Ahorn, whose progeny have earned over $1,000,000 in prize money, has been awarded keur status by the KWPN. Ahorn's sire is none other than the world famous preferent stallion Nimmerdor.

Ahorn's dam produced 4 approved stallions and so far 3 international showjumpers. A fantastic producer of broodmares, Ahorn mares are highly valued for their ability to transmit the characteristics of this high-performance jumper (deceased) stallion.

Ahorn's sire Nimmerdor, KWPN Stallion of the Century, was the Netherland's top sire of showjumpers to 1993. He became a Preferant Stallion approved by almost every Sporthorse and Warmblood breed society. He himself was a very Successful International Show-Jumper and sire. Siring over 50 approved sons, numerous competition horses, exceptional broodmares and daughters with great conformation. In breeding has a heredity reliability of 94%.

His dam Ark Angel CS is by the incredible Olympic show jumper Arko III and out of a mare who jumped to 1.40 by the incredible Selle Francais Keur stallion Calvados, who competed at 1.60. She had competed to Novice under the name of Double M Tarko with 124 points before being sold to an amateur home prior to coming to stud. Her jumping pedigree is impeccable with Grand Prix and 1.60 jumpers featuring on virtually every line of both her dam and sires pedigree. Arko III represented Great Britain at the 2004 Athens Olympics which tops the lengthy list of outstanding International wins including the richest competition in the world, the Calgary CN Grand Prix 2008.

Arko's earning to date are over 1 million pounds and he was number one horse in Europe for three consecutive years. His breeding is impeccable with both dam and sire being of prodigious talent and bred from a long line of incredible performance ancestry and progenitors of the same.

Angels dam sire Calvados was bred from the best French performance bloodlines. Renowned as a leading sire of show jumpers as well as eventers and dressage horses. A Grand Prix show jumper himself, his sire the Selle Francais Uriel was leading French sire for many years with a breeding index of 211 (the highest figure ever in France). Although he was bred on a limited scale, he has numerous international offspring jumping at Grand Prix level.

This is a mare with a very talented family tree and I can honestly say that not only are there some very big names for this foal to live up to, but this is quite possibly one of the two last foals to be born who will be sired by Ahorn whose semen was stored over thirty years ago. I am not even sure if there is any remaining!!
We actually have the other Ahorn yearling too! A yearling filly out of a well bred mare who competed at the top, internationally and consistently at 1.40.

Paddington is a 5-year-old gelding who has just begun his jumping career this year, displaying a good attitude, three lovely paces, and a strong desire to please.

He was broken towards the end of his 4-year-old year, so he has not been overworked or jumped extensively. Paddington is very easy to ride and is well-balanced for his age.

He has no vices and is good to shoe, clip, hack, and travel on a trailer, two-horse van, or a larger lorry.

Paddington would suit various types of riders due to his versatility at such a young age.

He is simple enough for an amateur to enjoy, yet also a strong candidate for a professional looking to add him to their string of young horses for development through the levels.
