Knabstrupper Link

Purebred (7/8)

White born Few Spot

(LP/LP PATN1/PATN1)

Foaled 2004

Height: 167cm

Houdini is by the German Knabstrupper Little Holiday whose sire was the advanced dressage stallion Hamlet Frydenlund.  His damsire is Baron aus der schutzenten Hand, the reknowned classic Knabstrupper sire.

Houdini has been presented in front of three grading societies by JJays and received a premium from them all, two being the highest scoring stallion on the day.

In 2009 he was presented in front of the ZfdP where he was one of only three stallions entered into ZfdP German Riding Horse stud book one. The three German judges complimented his type, muscle & canter.

He was champion stallion with the KNN at the 2008 Devon grading, and again at the 2014 Leamside grading where he passed his performance test to obtain Lifetime approval with the KNN. The Danish judges deemed him an attractive pure bred stallion (7/8) of good type, with a good walk and trot, and a very good canter.

These results are reflected in this stallions ability to sire true-to-type quality foals with good conformation and movement, who have been highly trainable and gone on to perform in a variety of disciplines, both at Riding Club and Affiliated levels.

Being a few spot stallion, homozygous for PATN1 he guarantees to throw foals with some form of spotted coat pattern.

Holmegards Bastian, or 'Asti' as he affectionately known at home, has the most amazing temperament. This kind mannerly horse is talented, trainable and strikingly beautiful. He always gives his best and never fails to capture the attention of spectators and judges alike.

Asti completed his performance life grading with the KNN in Oct 08. His elevated paces and natural athleticism, along with his fantastic off the floor jump, gained him the highest performance marks of any Knabstrupper stallion in 2008.

As you can see, Asti would be equally suitable for both dressage and showjumping breeders alike. He really is Mr versatile. A harmonious, balanced horse with athletic, off the floor paces, a huge jump and trainable temperament. All this with the added bonus of colour.....

​

Superb young stallion with excellent scope over a fence, with loose jumping marks of 8.5 for technique and 9 for capacity at his grading.  Superb paces and temperament (10s at his grading).  At home he lives here on a mixed yard and is always well behaved. 

Homozygous for Lp will always give some form of patterning, and his first two foal crops have given us a wide range from minimally patterned right up to full leopard foals.  Homozygous for Bay, he will never throw a chestnut based foal.

​

All his foals have inherited his superb movement, with excellent conformation and are quick to learn.  Three of his 2019 foals were presented at the 2019 UK KNN Knabstrupper gradings - two gained an overall mark of 9, and one an 8, testament to the quality he throws.

​

Jason will be available at Public Stud to Limited mares in 2020, in line with his training/competition schedule.

All mares must have clean swab certificates for the current season.
