FEATURE - STALLION SPOTLIGHT STALLION SPOTLIGHT CATHERSTON LIBERATOR With their large advertising budgets, wonderful facilities, and eye catching marketing videos, it is no wonder many British breeders are tempted to only consider stallions standing at stud in mainland Europe. There are often many gems to be discovered here in the UK and in every edition we will turn the spotlight onto a British stallion who deserves to be centre stage. An older stallion who has excellent credentials, but who many eventing breeders may not have considered is Catherston Liberator, who stands at Langaller Stud in Devon. Now 26, he still looks incredibly well and shows no sign of any loss of topline that is normally associated with older stallions. Liberator was successful himself as a competition horse in all spheres, winning up to Intermediate BE (with advanced points), and Prix St George dressage. He also show jumped to Foxhunter level. Liberator is really producing some top eventing stock including: Xavier Faer ( x Catherston Dazzler) CSI**** and 3rd Badminton 2017 Tout de Suite ( x Welton Crackerjack) Multiple CIC*** winner in the USA Borough Free Flight ( x Dutch Gold) Winner CCI* and placed CCI** & CSI*** Mr Fahrenheit ( x Java Tiger xx) CIC** including Lion D’Angers 2017 The Earl of Belvedere ( x The Chocolate Bean xx) Placed CIC** Trelotte ( x Fine Blade xx) Competing CIC** Xavier Faer - Courtesy Nico Morgan Besides the eventers he has found success as a sire in the showring with offspring winning sporthorse and hunter breeding classes at major county shows across the country. Liberator’s sire Liboi was a very tough racehorse, running 71 times and retiring sound. As well as siring county level winning hunters and hacks he is also the sire of Grand Prix dressage stallion Catherston Humbug. Liberator’s dam was the HOYS Grade C and Foxhunter finalist Catherston Jetstream. The direct motherline is exemplary producing among others Catherston Dazzler (sire of Olympic and 4 star eventers), Welton Louis (advanced eventer and sire of European champion Welton Romance) and Yarlands Summer Song (WEG Silver Medalist). This means Liberator offers a rare combination of Thoroughbred blood crossed onto a stellar eventing damline. The importance of the damline cannot be underestimated as this gives any breeder the reassurance that the genetic potential is there waiting to be unlocked. All the most successful breeders of both sporthorses and racehorses recognise how crucial this is.
