For Loan, For LWVTB, For Sale £7,000 Marmalade
⭐️Would consider loan/lwvtb to a knowledgeable local home ⭐️
4-year-old 15.2 gelding with a fantastic pedigree, exceptional conformation, and an even better attitude.
Sire: Nibali Van de Watermolen — relative of the legendary Qlassic Bois Margot, winner of multiple 5* Grand Prix and over $1 million in prize money.
Dam: Doloves — relative of the remarkable Flipper d’Elle, finalist at the French Young Jumper Championships in Fontainebleau as a 4, 5, and 6-year-old, and 2000 Reserve Champion of the 7YO class. Flipper enjoyed a decade-long international career as an almost permanent member of the French Showjumping Team.
Why He’s Special: “Marmalade” combines quality breeding with a temperament that makes him a genuine pleasure to have around. He has great conformation, moves beautifully, and takes life in his stride.
Lightly backed before being turned away, he’s had a kind start and is ready to come back into work and continue his education. With his willing nature, he’s the type that will be as happy hacking, schooling, or popping a course as he will be stepping up later in his career.
He would suit an amateur or grassroots rider looking for a talented young horse to bring on slowly and enjoy the process together.
