Escanto PS OLD

Fantastic willingness to perform, very good basic paces (9.0 for trot, 9.5 for canter, 8.5 for walk) and a fantastic 10 for rideability by the test rider: in 2022, Escanto PS was the only stallion to pass his stallion performance test in Schlieckau with a final score above nine, 9.12 to be precise. The young star from the famous mare line Finnländerin had already performed outstandingly at the shortened suitability test in Vechta the same year. “Already impressively detached and yet reacting very attentively to the rider's aids. A stallion with incredible dynamics, balance and a beautiful cadence in his movement," was the comment of the judges who, together with the test rider, awarded the dream score of 10 for willingness to perform and 9.7 for rideability. “In the trot work, a very modern forehand action and active hindquarters at all times. An energetic canter, with a constant uphill tendency, a good cadence and extension of the frame during the lengthening of stride. The walk always has a lot of swing through the body with good stride and overtrack. A horse with huge potential.” The scores for his paces: 8.8 for trot, 9.5 for canter and 9.3 for walk, and an overall score of 9.43. 

We have high hopes for the hereditary power of our stallion Escanto PS, who will present his first crop of foals this year.
