Auction text:
The keur-awarded stallion Cavalier claimed great international success by the name of San Patrignano Mister under Franke Sloothaak and many of his products since followed in his footsteps. This Darco, as well, has everything for growing up for the big work. The royally developed gelding has an easy canter with a lot of balance, a fine jumping technique, is well-rounded over the fence and shows a great deal of power. His unusual markings give him an extra special appearance.

Darco has his powerful model from both sire and dam. Dam Darina is a half-blood mare by the thoroughbred stallion Ariban xx who on the dam’s sire is also the grandsire of international showjumping horses such as Rainman KB, Fivelvreugd, Ivoor and Respect. Grandam Urina descends from the Trakehner stallion Hessel. The same family also produced Waterloo (by Karandasj) who jumped at international level under Marc Houtzager and Julia Kayser.
