?BACK ON THE MARKET! Had CLEAN PPE 12/28/18.
A grandson of the great SAPPHIRE (McLain Ward), his sire is a super-careful and talented jumper, his dam was successful in the YJC AND his 7 year-old half-brother (same dam) is showing Grand Prix!: SATURN V CSF is bred for the top of the showjumping sport. Would be a great ride for a professional to develop or an ambitious amateur. Should be a great A/O horse at least.
Expected height at maturity: 16.2h.
SATURN V CSF, is a kind, curious, brave and sensible bay colt with the kindest, large eye. He is very athletic in the field with plenty of "blood". His gaits are elastic with good amount of overstep; this should indicate great scope over fences. He has a natural talent for collection, balance and self-carriage; he is light on his feet and has clean lead changes; all these are evident in his video. He has great freedom through the shoulder and an active hindleg. In the jump chute portion of his video, you can see how well he opens up his hind end over the jump; this is very important in ease of training for clear jumper rounds. He has a natural interest in the jump chute and was very willing to go through, not stepping on a pole. In the field, he is the first to come greet visitors; so sweet!
His sire, New York BC (16.1h), by Presley Boy and out of Sapphire/Darco, is a talented 5 year-old stallion that is laying down double-clear rounds in his age classes. He is producing supple gaits and great minds in his offspring: two of his 2 year-olds were 1st and 2nd in the nation for free-jumping for the BWP.
SATURN V CSF's dam, Splendeur de Vie (16.2h), an imported Selle Français mare by Narcos II and from one of the best damlines in the world (Olga), has already produced a Grand Prix son (by Quinar); this son, Quasar de Medi, reached the Grand Prix level at the young age of 7. Splendeur's other sons are owned, saddle-broken and trained by amateurs; she makes sensible, workmanlike babies.
SATURN V CSF is weaned and ready to meet his new owner. Could it be you? He is registered with BWP, microchipped and lifetime recorded with USEF/USHJA.
