A bit about "Castle"
Imported2023
Castle is the perfect move-up horse for someone wanting to go all the way from the 2’6” to the 3’6”. He is super uncomplicated (and actually prefers to be left alone to do his job!) and always comes out the same. He has been showing in the 3’3” AOs and has also dabbled in the eq, even placing in the top 10 in the Gladstone Adult Eq Championship out of 65+ entries last year. He has a big step, easy lead change, and never needs to see the jumps in advance. Castle has also been top 10 in five National Derbies in the last year alone!
