The "sleeper" spectacular british dressage horse? Who is he?

[danskbreeder]

I need to put in my two cents here and note that Alf is a Danish Warmblood! And a great one at that love that Michellino breeding!

dansksbreeder - I spent time at a dressage farm in NC with several Michellino offspring. I have failed in a not very investigative way to find the full breeding of ALF -

the ride today was spectacular - :yes::yes:

I would love to know his full breeding!

Three cheers for Laura and Alf!

He is by Michellino, the dam is a mare named Virginia who was by Ibsen. He was bred by Betty Ramussen in Denmark.

He was purchased from Hans Hoffman in early 2005.

There used to be a video on YouTube that I think was of this pair at Olympia… started their freestyle, did a beautiful first halt at X, and clearly Alf thought his effort deserved a reward so he bent around looking for it :lol: It totally brought the house down…
