Client profile
An ambitious buyer is seeking a quality show jumping horse with genuine potential for higher-level competition. The ideal horse should combine natural scope, athleticism and good rideability with a compact, sporty build. The buyer prefers a horse around 167–170 cm that is light and responsive to ride, rather than a large or heavy type.
