Dam Sire: Jazz
Bred by Keystone as a ladies dressage mount, this sweet natured powerhouse has all the mechanics and temperament to support high level dressage. He has balanced uphil canter, an open impressive trot and commanding presence. Professionally managed and produced by our in-house riders Rhianon Pettigrove and now young rider Lucy Cochrane, "Picolo" recently scored 72% at his first ever outing at the Homes & Acreage Boneo Summer Summer Championship. This score goes towards his qualifications for Dressage with the Stars.
Coached by Vanessa Way he is "an honest sweet horse which would suit someone with Grand Prix aspirations". Our young rider Lucy Cochrane says "Picolo has amazing temperament and trainability, combined with his mechanic he is horse that is capable and willing to go all the way".
"Picolo" is a shining son of Claire Hester's beloved U- Genius. U- Genius is by Carl Hester's London Olympic winner Utopia and out of the full sister to Valegro.
