Harmoieux has three correct paces with good mechanics, rythym and balance, his walk is long and active, trot light footed with good use of the foreleg and his canter has a very good length of stride.

The bloodlines:

His sire "Amoureux" has consitently won young horse qualifiers with scores of 78-80% having qualified for Badmington Young Dressage Horse Of The Future, Sheerwater Potential International Dressage Horse, the Sheetwater British National Young Dressage Horse both as a five and six year old under International Grand Prix Dressage Rider Michel Assouline, with a Double win at Sheepgate Premiere League in the Hickstead Young Horse Qualifier and Medium SOQ75 and a finalist in the Sheerwater 6YO Championship.

Paternal Grand sire Saros Van T'Gestelhof

Sired by the Belgian approved dual purpose stallion Saros Van 'T Gestelhof, a son of G Ramiro Z out of a Pik Koenig x Wendekries mare, Saros sired the Belgium champion foal 2003 and currently has an exterior index of 188 earning him elite status at the young age of seven.

Other wins include the Belgian 4, 5 and six year old Dressage Champion title. Saros' progeny are equally as talented in jumping as they are in dressage. Saros's sire is the famous G Ramiro Z who competed in classes of 2.20m and perhaps most renown as sire of the famous Olympic gold medallist Ratina Z out of the famous Holstein mare Heureka Z.
