Cabardino is a beautifully refined, modern-type Holsteiner stallion that was imported to Canada in 2005.  Cabardino has the most lovely temperament, what seems like almost unlimited scope over jumps and he is a beautiful mover. 

He was Reserve Champion at the Oldenburg International Stallion Approval for Show Jumpers and obtained Premium status with both the German Holstein and Hessen Association.  He completed the 30 day test in Germany and qualified for the Bundeschampionat with a score of 9.0!

Cabardino has achieved multiple wins in the 4' Regular Working Hunter division with his rider, Erynn Ballard.  In 2007, Cabardino returned from all but one of his shows as Champion or Reserve Champion.  Cabardino started his 2008 show season with being awarded Grand Hunter Champion two weeks in a row, winning the Working Hunter Division each week with Erynn Ballard and winning Champion & Reserve Champion ribbons in the Amateur division with Jennifer O'Neill.
