Vermento
Robert Whitaker brought two young stallions – Cavaso Z and Vermento. The former is very stamped by his damsire Darco and demonstrated powerful and quick reactions. Vermento, a son of Argento a consistent Grand Prix performer for John Whitaker, looks to have a huge amount of scope and is a very interesting young prospect.
The only coloured stallion in the jumping section was Hazelwood Utah’s Romeo, a son of John Whitaker’s old ride Utah van Erpekom. Edobantos showed his great temperament with a display that included interaction with the crowd. He has competed BD and BE before focusing on show jumping.
The final section of this day was dedicated to dressage stallions and an excellent display by international dressage rider Nikki Barker and her Grand Prix ride, Durable (Spielberg x Tango). This 17.2hh big boned stallion was a correct stamp with a lovely temperament and is aimed at making his international Grand Prix debut in 2020.
Another stallion to catch the eye with more advanced work was Caunton Manor Stud’s Branduardi (Breitling W x Weltmeyer). Already successful up to Inter 1, he is modern in his frame with some thoroughbred blood and has an outstanding temperament.
Oxfordshire based Don Dante (Dancier x Salvano) has a good track record to Inter 1. He demonstrated he is working towards Grand Prix starting the piaffe and passage work and showing nice clean two time tempi changes.
FHS Diamond In The Rough
Warwickshire based FHS Diamond In The Rough (Solitaire x Strong Gale xx) is an interesting stallion who has moved from eventing to dressage. His damsire was a significant National Hunt sire and his sire is a son of the legendary Voltaire. He won his Area Festival at AM and is now competing at PSG.
Throughout the day there was a good selection of blood lines, ability and performance records for British breeders to choose from. The whole day was a very useful exercise for British breeders offering plenty of food for thought with mixture of established talent and some exciting young stallions to watch out for.
Don Dante
Catherston Stud brought four stallions forward, with the truly dual purpose Timolin (Totilas x Sion). After showing his jumping ability in the eventing section, Timolin came back out to showcase his dressage talent. Already competing at Inter 1, he showed his development towards Grand Prix.

Wavavoom
Woodlander Stud always bring a good selection of stallions to this event and Woodlander Double Bubble (Don Frederic x Rousseau) and Wavavoom (Weltregent x Longchamp) did not disappoint. Both are now in training with Luis Principe who rode them here. Double Bubble is only 6 this year but is really catching the eye. A big powerful horse, he is already showing talent for the start of piaffe work demonstrating half steps. Wavavoom is a really neat compact little horse and with sons and grandsons licensing in Germany he is proving to be a real flagship for British breeding.
Luke Baber-Davies did an excellent job professionally showcasing his team of three young stallions both under saddle and in the stable area. The 4 year old Versace (Vivaldi x Davignon II) is stamped by his popular sire, Vivaldi, and it is interesting to see a quality son standing in the UK.
