Starry Night (Sven)
17.1h | 2018 (5/20/2018) | German Warmblood Gelding

The kind that makes you smile every time you walk in the barn.

Sven is a standout — truly stunning and the fanciest type with beautiful expression. A true hack winner with a jump to match. Imported as a dressage horse, we have spent the last two years thoughtfully transitioning his career into the hunter ring.

Sven only started showing a little over a year ago and already has miles in the 2’6 Amateur Hunters, and just successfully debuted in the 3’ Greens at the end of the January Florida circuit. With his quality, presence, and natural ability, he could easily develop into a winning International Hunter Derby horse.

His gaits are powerful yet quiet. He is responsive to your leg — riders with quieter legs often ride him in spurs — and he is very tolerant of rider mistakes, always taking you to the other side.

He is barefoot, goes out well with other horses, and has a wonderful sense of curiosity about the world around him. Sven has a huge personality and everyone in the barn loves him.

In many ways, he is like a little boy who truly wants to do the right thing. He tries very hard, loves having a job, and is very proud of himself.

He would thrive with a trusting rider and would be successful in any professional program that appreciates a horse with personality and presence.
