2021 FRENCH-STYLE GELDING – SECRET x TOTILAS – DRESSAGE – PROMISING HORSE
An elegant Selle Français gelding born in 2021, standing approximately 1.67 m tall, with a black coat, offering a particularly attractive prospect for a rider wishing to build a genuine competitive career in dressage.
Sired by Secret out of Totilas, he boasts a highly sought-after pedigree, combining two major bloodlines in modern dressage.
His sire, Secret (Sezuan x St. Moritz), distinguished himself at the very highest level amongst young horses, notably as World Vice-Champion at the age of 5 and then German Champion at 6. The son of the three-time World Champion for young horses, Sezuan, he comes from a bloodline renowned for top-level dressage.
On the dam’s side is the legendary Totilas (Gribaldi x Glendale), a true icon of international dressage who made his mark on the history of the discipline through his performances at the very highest level. His presence in the dam’s line further enhances the sporting merit of this pedigree.
The Secret x Totilas cross thus offers particularly attractive genetics for a young horse destined to progress to the highest levels of dressage.
At just 5 years old, this young horse already has some initial experience in young horse competitions and at national level. He is currently continuing his training with dedication and is showing promising qualities for a career in the sport.
AT WORK
For his age, he has received consistent training suited to a young horse intended for dressage.
He has a good foundation and is, in particular, beginning to learn his first lead changes.
Very well-behaved in work, willing and a pleasure to ride, he also has the advantage of being suitable for both a professional rider and a young rider at Children’s level, provided he is ridden correctly and in an appropriate setting.
His temperament and qualities make him an attractive prospect for gradually continuing his training and developing his abilities towards higher levels.
He would be particularly suitable for:
- A competitive dressage programme;
- Young horse competitions;
- A young rider wishing to develop their future competition horse;
- An experienced or well-supported amateur;
- A professional wishing to continue their training;
- A long-term project aimed at international competition.
TEMPERAMENT & DAY-TO-DAY LIFE
He is characterised by a calm, determined and particularly gentle nature, both under saddle and on foot.
In particular, he is:
- Easy to look after;
- Accustomed to travel;
- Easy to clip;
- Accustomed to outdoor outings, both alone and in company;
- Used to living in a paddock.
This ease in day-to-day life is a real asset for a young horse destined for a sporting career.
WHAT KIND OF PROJECT IS THIS FOR?
This gelding will be particularly suited to:
- An amateur rider with good coaching;
- An experienced amateur with good riding technique;
- A young rider wishing to develop a horse for competition;
- A professional seeking a young horse to continue training;
- A rider wishing to gradually build a programme that could progress to top-level competition.
His young age still allows his future rider to play a full part in his training and to gradually shape the next stage of his sporting career.
