At his grading the Dutch judges commented that he had a very good jumping technique. He is registered BSJA and will compete in showjumping classes this year. He is a stunning looker, has an outstanding temperament, is easy to ride with three very good paces and a super athletic jump.
Owners recommendations
Scots Cavalier is is nearly three-quarters 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 thoroughbred mares lacking in bone, also mares that could improve on their jumping ability.
