Hazelwood Utah's Romeo — Hazelwood Stud

Homebred

2014 AES Licensed Stallion

Hazelwood Utah’s Romeo is really quite outstanding to the eye and oozes quality. He has correct conformation and a naturally uphill frame which also shows in his ridden work. He has a big powerful stride with real presence. He is very athletic with a super hind leg.

Very scopey over a fence, highly intelligent and has the most amazing gentle temperament. Rommy started his ridden work with the team at Catherston Stud under the watchful eye of Jennie Lorriston Clark. Having started off his showjumping education and career with Nick Edwards he is now under training with Julian Mincher and ridden by Natasha Swales. He has proven to be a very capable contender for big tracks where we hope to see him in the years to come.

Pedigree

Hazelwood Utah’s Romeo is by the World Class Stallion Utah van Erpekom who was ridden at top level by John Whitaker. In their first year of top level competition, their results were spectacular, with the highlight being winning the CSI 5* €75,000 Nestle Masters in Sao Paolo, Brazil. With many other top placings at 4*/5* it is a record unmatched by any other coloured horse.

He is out of our own Vikketoltien, who after a successful start to her career in Holland was imported to the UK to continue her successes up to Foxhunter and Grade C Qualifiers before retiring to stud. She has produced some super showjumpers. Vikketoltien’s sire Oklund was jumped at the highest level by Dutch rider Eric van der Vleuten, winning several Grand Prix’s. Vikketoltien’s motherline is not short of high level jumpers either. Her dam sire is Jasper who showjumped at top level.
