Description for Amoureux

Amoureux, a dark bay stallion measuring 169 cm (16.3hh) with a pedigree of legendary ancestry. Expressive, head turning, and that "look at me factor" modern, long legged and refined, he possesses three equally good paces, a ground covering walk, elasticity and suppleness in his trot with excellent use of the front leg. He has a very impressive uphill canter that springs from the ground with ease and lightness.

Adding to all his other qualities Amoureux has a remarkable calm outlook on life, gentle, affectionate, intelligent and a willing work ethic.

In a very short time frame he has already proven to be a progenitor of his own strengths and positive attributes, an opinion shared by many National and overseas judges, breeders and mare owners. Homozygous black, due to his genetic make up, he cannot produce chestnut foals.

Amoureux is now clearly demonstrating a special aptitude for the advanced work in his training and will be working steadily towards Prix St George over the winter months 2011/12.

He debuted his dressage career in Scotland with his first outing at Ingliston Equestrian Centre at the age of five. After just two months of training on first outing he qualified for the Sheerwater British Young Horse Five Year Old Elementary Championship Hartpury Festival of Dressage 2010.scoring 78%. The following weekend saw a double win in the Novice Open and the Badminton Young Dressage Horse Of The future Qualifier with 78%

In June 2010 Amoureux won both the Sheerwater Potential International Dressage Horse with 78% qualifying for the British Dressage National Championships and scored 80% in the Badmington Young Dressage Horse improving on his former score.
