PERFORMANCES

During this season, he was notably 3rd in the 7-year-old GP of the TDA of Jarry, 2nd at Lamotte Beuvron, 4th at Dinard, winner at Poitiers and placed 16th in the Finale Futures Elites 7 years old of the Sologn'Pony.

CROSSING TIPS
Caruso is a stallion with a lot of strength and an excellent mind. He also has a fairly athletic build for the breed standard, with blood and three beautiful gaits, including a canter with great balance and amplitude. With an easy temperament and always willing to cooperate, he is a particularly diligent student and always eager to do well. It is best to give him mares with blood but not too big to stay within the pony size range.
