Born: 1 May 2020 Colour: dark brown Markings: two white socks (hindquarters), small blaze and spot on his nose Pedigree: Glamourdale x Krack C x Lavall II x Latino x Calypso x Rigoletto Dam: Gaomi E&M Damline: 474A (Holstein) Breeder: Sarah Janssens / Haras de Quarebbe Owner: Lunalee Barboza, USA Character Ubuntu is curious by nature and people oriented. He loves to explore his surroundings and enjoys all the attention he can get. He loves to get cuddles from adults as well as children. He's a brave and fast learner. Pedigree Ubuntu's mother Gaomi (by Krack C) is out of one of the best damlines in Europe, with plenty of licensed stallions and horses that perform at the highest levels. His sire Glamourdale is the undisputed champion of the 2014 KWPN Stallion Inspection, the Reserve Champion of the 2014 KWPN performance test and the 2018 “sovereign” FEI World Champion of 7-year-old dressage horses. Glamourdale is beautiful, impressive, superbly bred, extremely talented. Glamourdale's got it all! He's a son of the “producer of champions” Lord Leatherdale, out of the preferent prok mare Thuja (s. Negro), one of the best brood mares in the Netherlands. In 2020, Glamourdale debuted in the Grand Prix with more than 77%! Movements Ubuntu is an elegant, tall and longlegged foal. Just like his mother, he has a very good walk. In his day-to-day trot, he moves lightfooted and with elasticity in his body. His first trotting steps are always uphill. In his second trot, he raises his front and makes himself taller. He shows active bending of the hind legs and beautiful action in the front legs and knees. His favourite pace is canter, though. He canters really easily. He can change from covering ground to cantering on the spot. Expression He likes to express himself and to jump around in the field. He loves taking sprints (yes, he loooves to canter!) and to show off his most artistic movements. Although this creativity may not give him a lot of points in the arena later, it helps to develop his body, balance and mental health. And it's entertaining! We love to watch him play! Future looks We expect Ubuntu to grow at least 1.70m. His mother Gaomi has a lovely big tail which she passes on to all her offspring. It looks like Ubuntu will grow to have a beautifull and full tail as well. Dressage prospect Ubuntu was sold to Lunalee Barboza, an ambitious FEI Young Rider living in North Carolina, USA. She will guide him in becoming a talented dressage horse.
