Blue Hors Purple Rain is an expressive and elegant young dressage stallion, sired by Desperado N.O.P., a former Dutch national team member, out of a damline carrying Negro and Jazz, two of the most influential Grand Prix-producing stallions of our time. His dam is a full sister to Kjento, the double Young Horse World Champion, giving Purple Rain a pedigree designed for both sport and breeding excellence. The damline also includes numerous competition horses and licensed stallions. Purple Rain is known for his uphill balance, expressive gaits, and calm, trainable temperament.
"Though I haven’t ridden Purple Rain much, given my busy schedule with my (upcoming) Grand Prix horses, the few rides I’ve had have really shown me his qualities. He’s compact, moves with such ease, and yet he’s full of energy and grace in all three gaits. His character is one of the things that really stands out,he’s always trying to find the right answer and has a strong desire to please. With Vivaldi blood through his sire Desperado, he brings that amazing combination of power and rideability I really love in a horse."
