Show Name: Cadfael’s Ganton Punch
Barn Name: Ganton/ Mr Punch
Age: 7
Gender: Stallion
Breed: Thoroughbred
Appearance: Mr Punch is a bay Thoroughbred with unusually good conformation. He has fantastic jumper lines in his blood, and it really shows.
Personality: Mr Punch is a large, charismatic animal. He has so much showing potential, and he knows it. When on the ground, he is affectionate and loving when on his best behaviour, but definitely has a flighty, sharp edge to him. When ridden he can be a little feisty, he needs riding with a firm hand constantly, and always needs a task to set his mind to. Mr Punch is a friendly, well-mannered animal, and loves nothing more than a day in the field being fussed.
History: Mr Punch came from a hunting yard in the area around Blackpool. He had been bred from a hunter mare by a jumping stallion, expected to make a great member of the hunting team. Harry had found him as a four year old on a day’s talent scouting, and had immediately put in an offer for him. The hunting master agreed to sell the youngster so long as he could have breeding rights later on in his career, and of course Harry accepted.
Discipline(s): Mr Punch is a fantastic cross country and show jumping animal.
