"Ari" promises to be an outstanding Upper Level jumper prospect with the scope, size and speed necessary for today's Grand Prix courses.

Imari is very correct with an outstanding shoulder and overall excellent conformation. He will be tall but we expect him to have the refinement of his sire.

Dam Julia du Brio (photographed above) comes from Peter Leone's competition string and has been busy competing in Grand Prixs throughout Europe, Canada and the US, including Wellington, The Hampton Classic, Poznan and Aachen.

Sire Catoki was shortlisted in 2012 for the London Olympics for the German Team. His true-to-type progeny are highly successful in showjumping and his first few crops of foals immediately resulted in the approval of several young stallions, headed by the Chalan sire Chambertin.

We expect Imari to be a true performer in the upper level jumper ring and stallion prospect. He should possess his parents' power and technique and combine Julia's speed around a course with Catoki's highly evident scope over fences. We expect this little man to go far.
