Darrington 2008

Darrington is a 2003 Canadian bred warmblood.

080608fiddlers4.jpg

Darrington is a lovely, solid warmblood gelding.  He has been extremely successful in the hunter ring this summer, showing in his first year at 2'9 and rarely coming home without top placings.  He will continue to shine as a fabulous 3 foot or 3'6 hunter and is straight forward and a pleasure to ride. 
 
Darrington currently stands around 16.3hh and is a lovely balance of substance and refinement.  His lovely flowing movement and rythm combined with power, temperament and a great attitude make him an ideal horse for many disciplines.  His quiet and willing personality make him a pleasure to work with.
 
Darrington is by the late German Oldenburg Verband Stallion Gigolo, approved with the Rheinlander Pfalz-Saar in North America.  Gigolo, by Gepard, was a Grand Prix showjumper in both Europe and on the United States Equestrian Team.  Photos of Gigolo located below.
 
Darrington's mother is a quality thoroughbred/trakehner mare with lovely movement and a lifetime full of accomplishments.  She is by the top thoroughbred stallion Its Freezing.
