Presidio - Contender - Spitzweg - Grand Royal 2010 Bay Oldenburg colt
If you are looking for a great jumper prospect look no further. The first time Pebble Beach was turned out at three days, he jumped his mother when she got down to roll, jumped 2 jumps in the arena, and then jumped a 3 step mounting block 6 times. Given his joy in jumping as well as the jumping abilities of his father and mother, we expect him to be a great prospect for the Young Jumper competition heading toward toward either a career as a Derby Hunter or an Open Jumper.
At Pebble Beach's registration, the inspectors not only agreed with our assessment, but even exceeded it by not only giving him a First Premium and Foal of Distinction award but designating him as a stallion candidate as well. They were impressed by his modern type, good looks, and uphill movement. He not only drops his croup when he moves, but he also drives his hocks well under the plane of his body giving him a bio-mechanical advantage that will wake being ridden and jumped. The strength of his dam line was icing on the cake. They have asked to look at him again next year as part of an ongoing stallion pre-evaluation.
