Congratulations to Family Hochreiter in Nasswald, Austria.
Leave it to Eric to find our own diamond in the rough! Metse is of stam 43, which produced Naen 264, Dahgo 247, Zjoerd 239, Lammert 260, Diedert 288, Hearke 254 PREF, Melle 311 and Epke 182. This damline had many exports to South Africa in the late 50's and early 60's.
Metse's current papers read ster, stb, ster, ster +pref. However, we believe his Grandmother, Phillipa may have since become Preferent. This would make Metse a full papered gelding.
He has the signature Feitse character of being easy to handle (even when he was a stallion). He is just starting under saddle and has been a model student with the hot-walker/training mill. He has a long mane, a nice forelock, and a pretty face.
Three years old - Feitse x Wicher

NOTE: As of today, June 26th, Metse is still a stallion. His castration was scheduled and cancelled due to the high temperatures in Holland the last few weeks. If you are interested in Metse as a stallion, please let us know right away!
