Stallions and Studs in the South West UK - Jonker's Mayo stallion at Fairlight Stud, North Somerset

Performance to Date:
Metyo was graded in Holland before being purchased by his previous owners in January 2004 when he was brought to the UK. He scored three 8’s and one 9 at his grading and was described as being gifted as a performance pony. Metyo was 3rd at Addington in the Snuggy Hoods National 5 year old dressage pony championships, with 70%. He was competed by his previous owner who was a young teenage girl and has also competed once in a BSJA Kitt Kraiburg qualifier with another young jockey. Lack of a junior rider means his competition record is not as full as it could be. His last junior jockey also hunted him for a season with the West Somerset Vale where he proved himself equally capable of tackling cross country fences. He is always well behaved in company and is always ridden in a snaffle bridle.

Summary of Competitions:
Judges always comment on his easy paces and light footfall in dressage competitions. He has been schooled by a current member of the GB young riders squad who commented that he had bigger movement than her then top dressage horse.

Breeding File:
Metyo has offspring in Holland who are just starting their competition careers. He has 4 yearlings from his first season standing in the UK, 2 of which are out of horse mares who were AI’d. All these youngsters have bright characters, good conformation and excellent movement.
