Breeding advice

ARMITAGES BOY is a very modern stallion perfectly combining type and power. Compact with powerful hindquarters, he has always displayed  top sport horse qualities while competing : blood, balance, speed, excellent hindleg style... not forgetting his legendary powerful push off. He passes on cleverness, carefulness and strength to his offspring and is best bred to mares with a well-bound or even stiff top line. Regarding the size, the dam seems to take over most of times. 

Offspring
