Personality
Leo is a very powerful stallion, and he loves attention. A lot like his sire and dam in many ways, and shows great jumping capabilities. He is gentle and caring and is a proven show horse. He is very correct, with super straight legs, and awesome top-line. His pedigree is good, and he is just an all rounded nice Stallion. He has proven himself many times in the show ring with 20+ wins and his first few foals on the ground are very promising as well. We hope he'll continue to rock the show ring well into a ripe age. He loves eventing, especially the cross-country and show jumping, but still does exceptionally well in dressage making Leo an amazing eventer. The speed he inherited from his proven racing parents and the heart is all him.
History and Pedigree Information
IGS purchased this guy from Matabon's spring sale. We haven't regretted that purchase yet.
Leo was trained from a young age for the eventing circuits and though he is a direct descendant to two top racing thoroughbreds, he excelled in the eventing rings.
He's never left IGS/IR and he never will. He is a pure joy to be around and is an amazing sire and competitor and Nick's personal day to day ride and outlet. He is the sire of Silver Tide who was an amazing show mare and is also the dam of the Star Thoroughbred Akuma Battlecry.
[X] Smiles Boo was a breeding stallion owned on MHS by Matabon. He started a successful racing career later down the road and placed consistently in the money. He was a very correct stallion and sired many types of foals from racers to eventers.
[X] Fly High Silver is a proven grade one race mare owned by SpiritedBrumby. She is a legend, the equivalent of a HOF horse and rightly so being a BC Filly Mare Turf Winner and 2nd in the Twilight Stales, Centurian Stakes and the Dubai World Cup. As a dam she is extremely successful, being the dam of Geronimo (MHS Feb. Dawn Treader Cup winner and placed 2nd in all the legs of the TC), FS Mockingbird (Wire Finish Cup Dirt Winner) and many many more.
