Dark De Niro

Dk Brown British Warmblood (to make)16.2hh 2009
BWS-UK Stallion Champion 2011

We are very excited to be standing this lovely young stallion at stud this year. He has so much elegance and class with very correct conformation and excellent movement. Homebred bu Louella, he is everything we could have wished for. He will add some quality to stronger mares and should be an ideal choice to breed eventers if put to Thoroughbreds.

Dark De Niro went to the BEF futurities as a 2yo where he was awarded a Elite premium and was the overall top scoring dressage 2yo. He was graded with BWS-UK in the Autumn of 2011 where he was Champion Stallion. The Judges commented on his harmonious lines and near perfect conformation, scoring 9 for his type and masculinity, neck and saddle position.

He will cover a limited book of mares as a 3yo and will hopefully compete in the young horse classes as a 4yo.
