Artful Dodger (aka Apollo, Paolo)
This Art Deco/EURO TB son looks just like his famous father with LOVELY MOVEMENT and his father's GREAT, trusting, intelligent, affectionate mind. He absolutely LOVES to jump! Apollo has been handled correctly all his life and had professional training. He has the potential to be an excellent eventer, as well as a lovely hunter, field hunter, and/or dressage horse.
​
He was not gelded until he was 5, so he requires a confident, quiet rider with partnering skills. He is intelligent, sensitive, forward, and needs clear leadership, variety, and praise. He has been taught to focus on his work and on his rider, but needs a rider with clear consistent riding skills. He loves to jump but his training thus far has focused on relaxation, variety, and submission in the German tradition.
He had some time off due to breeder's multiple surgeries, but is now working regularly in preparation for this years show season. He has shown 3 times, settled in well, and was in the ribbons.
He's always been sound and he was given time to grow and mature before training. His withers have finally come up and he is now physically ready for more advanced training.
He is a Tobiano Pinto, black face with a blaze, 16h, 1200 lbs, Oldenberg, Foaled: 2009
