If you're looking for beautiful movement, an easy jump, a competitive mount at rated shows, and a sweet, oversized pet at home all in one package, look no further! Suitable, aka, "Bentley," is a 17 hand, 9 year old (DOB Feb. 1, 2011 - imported 2014), branded RPSI. He's a beautiful dark bay with uphill build and a head-turning presence in the show ring. No vices, easy to handle. Bentley can be ridden by juniors, AAs or professionals. Great all-around horse with unlimited athletic potential. Bentley would be great for a parent/teen pair with interests in showing both dressage and jumping.
With his prior owner, he is a tri-color ribbon, three-ring horse at the rated level (USEF lifetime ID No. 5422566.) He has a very auto change, comfortable gaits, soft jump, and beautiful form.
While Bentley has seasons of experience in the H/J/Eq rings, we believe he shows incredible talent for dressage. He went to his first USDF dressage show in November 2020, earning a 68.8 in training level test 3, a qualifying score for regionals, with the judge remarking that "he has it," and a 65.5 in USDF test 1-1. He recently showed third level in Jacksonville, FL, is schooling 4th level at home, and has the ability to go much higher. Bentley has a solid lead change that is easy to get and easy to sit, and all of the buttons are there for his lateral work.
He is the same horse at home as he is at shows, requiring zero prep.
Bentley is by Seon and out of Stakkato's Highlight. Bentley's grandsire, Stakkato (by Spartan), was Hanoverian stallion of the year in 2000 and competed on the German Nation's Cup team. Calypso II, a producer of many international performers, also appears in his pedigree.
Clean full-body x-rays from October 2020, UTD coggins, vaccines, and ready to take on the upcoming show season. Priced to sell and be your competitive partner for the winter show season! Located in St. Augustine, FL. (About one hour from both Ocala and Jacksonville.) Inquiries answered promptly. Updated photos and videos available. **Lease option.**
