HERITABLE QUALITIES

Centavos consistently passes to his progeny, scope, heart and his stunning looks.He has produced high level jumping horses from mares with TB, warmblood, station bred, Clyde, QH, and standard bred lines, even from pony dams. They are suited to Professional riders as well as Amateurs and Juniors thanks to their outstanding willingness to work and natural jumping ability.

RIDING AND TRAINING

Centavos has beautiful easy paces, with his canter making it equally easy to leave out a stride and take a big distance, or to collect and add strides. He has outstanding rideability with a beautiful soft snaffle mouth and lightness to the leg. He is always present and on form and giving his all to the rider. He has incredible power from the ground and a breath taking feeling of flight over his fences. Centavos is extremely brave, never having a single refusal and is unfazed in any competition environment. He jumped predominantly clear rounds in his career, a testament to his carefulness and understanding of the job.
