Thursden Vallye Raphael a striking son of Graded Sports Pony Stallion Aimbry Chester out of a classically bred Yealand Nightowl mare. This elegant bright bay has an exquisite head, fabulous paces and superb temperament. He has taken all the qualities from his father's influential warmblood breeding which includes Advanced Dressage Stallion Wadacre Chicko, Ramiro Z, Lady Killer, Rastell and Raimondo and his mother's top class riding pony breeding which includes, Bottingelle Swansong, Bwlch Valentino, Oakley Bubbling Spring and Blueprint. This attractive talented pony shows a careful jump over poles loose jumping upto 1.25m and is bold and brave across country-water, ditches etc. He has been fully vetted and licensed with the NPS. He is very kind and gentle with his mares, the perfect gentleman at all times. He was easily backed and ridden away during Autumn 2005 by a 12 year old child and is still proving to be a calm and sensible ride. Ridden and handled by children. In 2009 as well as continuing a top level in hand and ridden showing career he will be produced by International rider Lisa Marriott as a Dressage pony, he is already working at elementary level. Won first time out Novice 21 scoring 69.5% and currently has 17 BD points. His long term career plans are to be produced as potential JA and FEI event pony as well as an outstanding ridden show pony, his career potential is unlimited. A superb choice to breed top class children's competition ponies including show hunter ponies, working hunter ponies, dressage, and jumping ponies. As well as the ability to breed fabulous Hacks, Ridden Part Bred Arabs and Intermediates from larger mares. Top class multi champion performance pony stallion with an outstanding competition record. He surely must be the best pony stallion standing in Lancashire and probably without a rival in the North West of England.
