Description

Phantom is a very well balanced correct specimen with excellent proportions and
bloodlines. He has a well set neck with a well-developed croup that enables a
balanced frame. He is a natural talented mover with an equally big heart. Even if this
horse had no legs he would work for his rider because he has an incredible strong
will to please.

His Knabstrupper lineage (Sartor Pashmina RKNN/Figaro af Hallundbaek KNN) is
from solid breeding known for good temperament and repeatability for work ethic
while his warmblood ancestry combines some of the most powerful
competition/breeding individuals of all time, Sir Donnderhall.
