SKR In Lieu Of

The Basics

2004 Grey Irish Draught Sport Horse Stallion, 16.3hh
Equine Database: 0700

Kewarra Reflector x Imagine
Foaled: March 5, 2004
Novice Eventing

We purchased Like from Megan of SKR when he was just turned two. We were shocked when she agreed to sell him to us because he comes from some of the best Irish lines around. He has grown into a spectacular young eventing stallion with bravery, speed, endurance, and amazing scope all combining to create an unstoppable competitor. Better still, he has some of the best conformation we've seen in a growing stallion, which gives him the balance and grace of a much more seasoned horse. He's intelligent and interested, and he moves like a panther - like he is aware of every bone in his body and knows exactly what he's doing. Even though his favourite part of Three-Day is the cross country portion, his best scores actually come from his dressage phase, thanks in no small part to his floating, expressive gaits and his attitude towards his work.

    BREEDING INSPECTION RESULTS:

      RYHA Level One Grading: 53 points: (RYHA Fall 2006 Grading Day)
      Like a stealthy jungle cat, SKR In Lieu Of strolled lazily into the ring, watching with disinterest as the crowd collectively gasped. One ear flicked, the only movement, before the judges descended upon him in a frenzy, eager to inspect this oddly calm colt. Sleek and sinewy, he may still be growing into those long legs and gorgeous head but no one can question that "Luke" is a glowing example of his breed. Very balanced, with a well-built hind and tons of bone, not to mention the easy, laid-back attitude flowing off of this gorgeous boy, he's all Irish babe. Charisma floated above his head the whole time like a bright bulb, helping him to overshadow the competition even more, if that is even possible. He simply wiped away all thought of the previous youngstock, and no doubt is still in the minds of all who saw him. Luke exudes a magnetic allure, enhanced by his winning personality. He scored somewhat low in Suitability, as some of the judges felt he would be better suited to a single event, rather than the strenuous combination of Eventing. As for color, you can see for yourself that he's a fabulous dapple grey... who unfortunately decided to roll in the dirt several moments before he was graded. It had Beth howling, but in the end he did amazing, good job Luke!
