Larkin

(Lord Cromby xx – Daffodil)

This 2009 gelding combines proven sport blood in all the English disciplines on both sides of his pedigree.

From his sire’s side he gets the refining and sport influences of Secretariat, Sir Gaylord, Habitat, His Majesty, Ribot, Turn-To, Tom Rolfe, Hail To Reason, etc. the linebreeding in his pedigree is also desirable. Naturally, as a well-bred Thoroughbred, he is related to numerous eventers, but his ancestry also relates him to jumpers, hunters and dressage horses.

From his dam’s side he gets superior dressage influences through Donner Bube and he gets the jumping influences through Calvados, a Selle Francais stallion used very successfully in Dutch breeding.

His conformation is that of a dressage horse.

Trainer’s perspective:

He is full of energy and always alert.  He is smart, learns quickly and has tons of potential.  Larkin can tie and stand for grooming, trimming, and the farrier.  He leads well, halts and stands with patience and backs up readily.
