A handsome stallion with an abundance of charm, Gallant Reflection was Reserve Champion of his 70-Day Stallion Testing with an overall score of 127 points. He finished 2nd in the dressage phase and 4th in the jumping – a truly versatile talent. In 2015, Gallant Reflection was the USEF Six-Year Old National Champion. As a seven-year old, he placed in the Top 6 at the USEF Developing Prix St. Georges National Championships, and finished in the Top 20 for USDF Horse of the Year standings for both Prix St. Georges and Intermediate I. In 2018, Gallant Reflection ranked in the Top 10 for the USDF Horse of the Year standings for Intermediate II.
Gallant Reflection’s sire descends from exceptional French breeding. The jumping ability in this pedigree is expected, but they are also very successful dressage horses as seen in sire Galant du Serein. Galant du Serein competed at the top of International dressage sport including the Olympic Games, World Equestrian Games, and World Cup Finals. On the dam’s side of Gallant Reflection’s pedigree, we find a strong dressage influence through stallions like Rohdiamant and Warkant. He offers a unique outcross option for many mares as he is free of S, D, and F bloodlines and that outcross diversity is essential for overall development of sport horse breeding.
With only a few offspring to date, we are already seeing that Gallant Reflection adds elegance, a beautiful expression, and good elasticity combined with their sire’s excellent character. The oldest Gallant Reflection son is already winning at Training and First Level with scores in the 70s. He can complement a wide variety of mares and with a strong jumping aptitude and excellent technique can cross-over to the hunter market as well.
