Remembrance Day is an elegant eye catching young stallion with a quiet temperament and a talent for dressage. He has remarkable paces equal in quality to many imported horses. His trot has enormous amounts of swing and elasticity, his canter is uphill and engaged whilst he has a huge overtrack in walk. He is beautifully marked with plenty of chrome and has a real look at me quality.

Remembrance Day is ideal as a sire for dressage, showhorses or even quality pleasure horses.

Remembrance Day himself has had much success as a young horse in the showring. He has won numerous Champion Led Warmblood awards amidst quality company and was placed 2nd in the Warmblood classes at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. All who knew of him were eagerly awaiting his dressage career. Tragically, his saddle career was halted as a 3 ½ year old when he sustained a large cartilage tear and torn joint capsule in his hock after a paddock injury. This injury has prohibited Remembrance Day from the levels of work needed for a serious competition horse.

Despite being unable to prove himself in the competition arena he is still a valuable breeding asset. The breeding value of thoroughbred cross warmblood sires is widely acknowledged in Europe with supersires such as Bolero and Londonderry proving themselves time and time again.

Remembrance Day is registered with the AWHA  and ANSA€“ his progeny from Warmblood bred mares are eligible for registration in the AWHA WID register. Progeny may also eligible for registration as Arabian Warmblood Horses as well as with ANSA.

Remembrance Day offers breeders the opportunity to breed to a quality horse with amazing paces and temperament for a very economical service fee.

The video below shows Remembrance Day as a young horse only. The video footage of him ridden was taken on his 5th ride under saddle whilst being broken in. It is also the first time he has been ridden in an open arena. The video footage was taken for our own personal reference library and was never intended to be the only video footage we had of Remembrance Day under saddle, however due to his paddock injury as a 3.5 year old it is all we were able to get. We have included this video footage for you to see as it shows you Remembrance Day's natural paces and outstanding temperament but please keep in mind just how green he is in the footage.
