The well-developed Starlington Rock is a three-year-old stallion with a complete model and a beautiful way of jumping.
Sire Defender VDS Z is a magnificent black son of the 1.70m Grand Prix stallion Dominator 2000 Z. Defender is 8-yr-old and placed at international 1.40m level under Marco Sas.
Dam Charisma is a KWPN Preferent Elite mare by Cornet Obolensky x Ramiro Z x Voltaire. She passed her EPTM test with 79 points, scoring eights for her canter, reflexes, technique, rideability and talent for showjumping.
Her first offspring are classified at international 1.35m and 1.30m level: Gladstone and the KWPN-approved stallion Hanley (now a hunter in America). Charisma herself is a half-sister to Ediravo (1.45m level showjumping) and Dempsey (1.35m level) and closely related to Colarde E (1.60m Grand Prix with Tom Sanders).
This horse was already auctioned and awarded last month, but unfortunately the buyer did not meet his obligations. This is of course very disappointing for both the seller and the auction, because reliability and agreements made are of great importance to us. Important to know: this does not detract from the horse itself. It remains a fantastic horse with an honest character, a correct veterinary inspection and the talent that he shows again and again. Although re-offering can sometimes give the wrong impression, we fully support this horse. In our opinion, a unique opportunity for those looking for a better horse!
