HAB Grand Couleur

Description

Studbook: AHS, ZSAA
Competitive career: Endurance
Offspring discipline: Endurance, Eventing, All Rounder

Colour is the ideal sire to provide agile eventing and allrounder foals from sports horse mares or produce competitive endurance horses, as well as being a great choice to add height to ponies with the colour many children dream of.

He is an ideal choice for a discerning breeder seeking to reduce inbreeding and associated health concerns, increase blood and stamina, and produce trainable offspring across the disciplines.

Under saddle he demonstrates a confident and calm character and an admirable work ethic, riding alone and in the company of mares or geldings with equal amounts of focus and cooperation. He has an athletic, careful jump showing good technique and an ability to jump to the requirements of the fence, neither jumping too exuberantly or with too little enthusiasm. He covers the ground effortlessly and doesn't like to waste energy by being over excitable!

Recently imported to the UK, he brings an excellent competition history in endurance.
In 2015 he was licensed at the ZSAA as premium stallion and reserve winner of the licensing from all breed groups. He then completed his stallion performance test in Marbach, winning despite being the youngest stallion entered.

Subsequently he attained several stallion performance test successes in endurance classes.
He retired sound from endurance competition in 2024, with ten years and over 2000km on his record.

Couleur has successful offspring in Europe including a licensed stallion.
Almost without exception, in Europe he has produced premium foals from very different mares and breeding associations.

His first UK born foals will be born in 2026.
He can be seen in Lincolnshire, as can some of his offspring when they arrive.
