Owners
Recommendations
Handsome Stranger xx is 100% thoroughbred and will be an ideal
sire for breeding a showjumper or eventer of quality. He will
cross well with a wide variety of mares, but will suit mares
that need some quality / blood, or are lacking in good temperament,
also mares that could improve on their jumping ability.
