Stable Name: Bear

Born: 11th April 2023

Breeding: British Warmblood (AES)

Sire: Big Star

Dam’s Sire: Argento

Bear was awarded Gold Premium at the 2023 British Breeding foal gradings in which the judges and vet noted his correct and strong conformation. He was the highest scoring entry of the entire day.

Bear descends from bloodlines that have continually produced world class performance horses. He is sired by two time Olympic Gold Medalist and arguably the most famous showjumper in the world, Big Star. Big Star has so far produced 14 licensed sons and his offspring are selling for record breaking prices in both the UK and Europe.

His dam Milton Mojito is sired by the famous Argento, the top ride of John Whitaker who was crowned the best showjumping horse in the world in 2015, topping the WBFSH rankings. Buck’s granddam dam, Uralinde J.J, is by the legendary Metall who competed successfully up to Prix St. George and has produced several Grand Prix horses and licensed sons. Most notably, Carl Hester’s Uthopia. Milton Mojito’s dam line is littered with both 1.60m show jumpers and Grand Prix dressage horses making her an incredibly exciting and special broodmare.

Bear’s Great Grandsire, Arko III, is a multiple 5* Grand Prix winner and the former top ride of Nick Skelton. He descends from one of the most influential dam lines in Europe. His full sister, Amati P.M.S. is a top broodmare for Haras De Hus and has produced the licensed stallions Tsunami De Hus (1.60m winner) and Anibale De Hus (1.60m). Arko III is also the sire of the 2018 Hickstead 5* winner SFS Aristio.
