A gorgeous bright chestnut! with two rear socks and a wonderful wide blaze, this boy is already showing the world what he's made of. He is very tall and heavy boned, with a magnificent uphill build and a huge stride, bold, forward and extremely correct, and already has a big bounce! He also has a simply outstanding temperament, he's a joy to work with, highly intelligent and very sweet. SUPERB movment, power and balance, the upper levels of dressage should come easily for this boy. He may well follow in his sire's hoofprints in this regard.
Punchy's half brother Dreams Come True is 17:3 hands at five years - and we expect this big boy to be nearly as tall and even more beautiful. With a ten inch cannon and standing 16:3 at age four, he will be a superb heavy hunter type, very suitable for a big or tall person.
Punch will go to training in late fall of 2011 unless purchased beforehand.
