Chairman

Chairman is the only stallion in the UK with such a close-up cross of the two very best Holsteiner performance bloodlines Cor de la Bryere and Lord and, as such, he is an outstanding prospect as a sire of all types of sportshorse, particularly showjumpers from a wide range of mares. It should be noted that his athletic paces and, in particular, his elevated trot are being notice by prominent dressage professionals who are choosing him to sire their dressage horses of the future. He is a really beautiful Holstein Stallion with an outstanding temperament.
