CROSSING TIPS
ARMITAGES BOY is a very modern stallion, marvelously combining chic and power. Of a compact model, with good points of strength and a real engine at the rear, it has always demonstrated its qualities as a sport horse on the track: blood, balance, speed, strikes, excellent passage from behind... without forgetting its legendary kick! He transmits his sense of the helm, his respect and his strength, to mares that we prefer with a well-connected or even rigid back. When it comes to size, he seems to let these ladies handle it.
