Anton oet de Broekstreek

Owned in partnership with Mrs. Andi van Mierlo of Tilliochie Haflingers, Anton was a very well-known show and stud stallion in Holland before he joined Clocktower in June 2008. He was the highest scoring stallion at the January 2008 KVTH IBOP grading in Ermelo, achieving the fantastic score of 98. 

He had just started show jumping before he came over, clearing 1m with ease, bringing home the ribbons. He had also just begun dressage competition, showing lots of potential to excel in this discipline.

With his fabulous looks and athletic ability Anton is a real eye-catcher, but what impressed us most of all was his wonderful temperament. He is such a kind boy, completely safe around children and the most gentle of stallions turned out with the foals in the field. Everyone who sees him is smitten!

Anton was licensed by the Haflinger Society of Great Britain in July 2009 (Section 1, Class 1 of the Stud Book). He has now returned to Holland where he is being trained to drive, as well as resuming dressage and showjumping activities, hence with his busy schedule he is not available at stud outside Holland for 2010. He will be available at stud for 2011 season via AI only. Anton is ideal for breeding Sport Ponies to registered mares as well as for Haflinger mares.

Note: Although Anton has the appearance of a palamino, genetically Haflingers are Chestnut which will guarantee a chestnut foal born to chestnut mares. The flaxen gene is recessive.
