Stb/Ster 4-7 Year Old – Jumper

PRINCESS PH (Toronto ster x Chantilly II TSH by Catch Cardo TSH,  BREEDER/OWNER: DOUWE PLANTINGA) This is a long lined mare that is well developed and correct in her topline and connections with sufficient expression.  She has a powerful, well balanced and adjustable canter, and seems careful with a good overview.  She jumps very quickly and upward, with athletic use of the body,  a powerful take off, good use and bending of the front leg.  She is very scopy and it is easy for her to stretch on the oxer and very good opening of the haunches.  High score Adult Jumper,  Winner of the 4YO Global Equine Sires Cup and earning the Ster and Keur Eligible predicates.  Congratulations!
