Breeding advice

As one of the rare elegant sons of Baloubet, COCKTAIL has inherited tonicity, intelligence and incredible carefulness. Well-shaped with excellent proportions, good joints and a strong back, he stands out for a lot a scope. Preferably bred to supple mares with a good jumping technique, COCKTAIL tends to bring type, blood, frame, his great canter, and seems to pass on size with great reliability. 

 

Gregory Wathelet's words:

"COCKTAIL is a very promising horse with a still huge potential of improvement. He has a lot of scope and jumps each fence easily".
