High Caliber Soul (Cal) is a well-proportioned, elegant young 17.2 hand gelding. He is a gentle giant, as sweet as he is big. Totally in proportion, well balanced beautiful mover. He is elastic and has nice suspension. He over tracks about 12-18 inches without effort.

Cal has been Hill Topping three times lately with Chloe Dibley. He is relaxed and well mannered. He is nice enough to look great with the hunt or in the show ring. He is unflappable. Cal could become a Master's horse with the right training.

Cal went Hill Topping with the Blue Ridge Hunt September 28th 2019. Corey Kirk was astride. He took in all the activity with grace and style. At one point the hounds were coming straight at him at full volume and stride. He was calm and relaxed. The first string galloped past him at a full gallop as well. The Hill Toppers had to back into some trees and shrubs to let them safely pass by. Cal was calm for that as well. He drew a lot of possitive attention from the attendees. One comment over heard was "He is so light and soft in his gait. He looks like a show horse!"

Cal was professionally started under saddle at Parade Field Farm in Lovettsville, VA with Lauren Dearlove. He continues his flat work and has begun to work over fences. Look for him in the show ring!

Cal is ready to start his career with a rider who is ready to train, ride and win. He is a willing horse with beautiful gaits and a mind to pull all his talents together for either an amateur or a professional.

He is a three time GAIG Championship Series qualifier for Dressage at Devon. Cal has consistently placed first or second at his shows and has had scores of 8 for Conformation, General impression. He has scored 7.8 for his walk and 7.5 for his trot all while being a growing weanling!
