coloured Dutch Warmblood colt by our successfull dressage

progeny, confident around people and very close to his dam.
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.
