STAVSDALS JACKPOT
Stavsdals Jackpot is a registered and graded Knabstrupper stallion with a very successful competition record. He is by the well known Knabstrupper sire Stavsdals Lobi and was bred in Denmark by Ellen Bendtsen
Jackpot stands at 164cm. He is lifetime graded with the ZFDP, where he scored highly for his trot, canter and loose jumping. Jackpot stamps his stock with his fantastic temperament, elastic movement and athleticism.
Within a few weeks of arriving in the UK in 2005 Jackpot & Claire were out winning affiliated dressage competitions, scoring over 70% and qualifying for the regional finals in their very first class. Jackpot has continued to build on this initial success qualifying for the regional finals every season and moving quickly up through the levels with regular high scores. Since 2005 he has exhibited his excellent trainability, progressing from working at novice level to Prix St. Georges.
As well as his dressage successes, Jackpot also enjoys his jumping. He qualified for the Chiltern & Thames Open Showjumping Championship and has particularly enjoyed going on long distance rides with cross country jumps.
This exceptionally kind stallion is regularly ridden and handled by children and novices. In July 2007 Jackpot competed internationally under FEI rules when he was selected to compete at the World Para Dressage Championships with a member of the South African Para team.
From coverings in Denmark, two of Jackpot's sons are also in the UK. Rughavens Sheik, born in 2001, is a gelding who has had tremendous success in the dressage arena, having reached the Winter National finals every year since 2006. Rughavens Jackpot, born in 2002, is a graded stallion, who has also shown great promise in the dressage arena, reaching the BD Winter National Finals in 2008.
In terms of his own competition success and the outstanding achievements of his offspring in the UK, Jackpot has proved himself to be the best Knabstrupper stallion currently standing at stud in the UK.
Stavsdals Jackpot is available at stud in 2011 at a stud fee of £400.
