We recently lost our beloved senior stallion, the Danish-bred *Shandor, who was felled by a stroke at age 25 on May 1, 2008.

*Shandor was imported by Adele as a coming three year old in 1986.  Standing 16.1 hands tall and wearing a size 3 shoe, he is unusually large for a purebred Shagya.  *Shandor is a dressage type, possessing elastic flowing movement coming well under from behind, with excellent use of the back.  He is very free in the shoulder and develops impressive suspension, all the while maintaining a calm and relaxed attitude.  *Shandor also exhibits exceptionally good jumping talent.  


        *SHANDOR Pedigree

*Shandor was only shown once in dressage, as a 14-year-old, after only a few months of training.  He averaged over 70% at training and first level in a very competitive show in the Seattle area.  *Shandor  was retired from breeding a few years ago, but was still healthy, sound and still being ridden at age 25 when he was felled by the stroke.
