In 2021, he goes under the saddle of Gilles THOMAS with the sole objective of preparing for the high level. He still obtains rankings in the CSI YH of Opglabbeek, Valkenswaard and Lier. He ended his season with a very good performance at the World Championship for 7-year-olds in Lanaken.

CROSSING TIPS

ERMITAGE is a horse with a particularly pleasant model, with a good neckline and a taut topline. He also displays a good flexible and ample locomotion. He jumps with excellent technique, a lot of respect and strength. It will undoubtedly suit your less stylistic mares or whose model you wish to improve.
