From Chatsworth Stud:
Formula One, an 11-year-old Irish Sport Horse stallion, has a fantastic brain. He is a perfect cross for a horse that needs to improve conformational issues, needs to be a bit more uphill and for Thoroughbred mares. Formula One is a choice stallion to create that seven-eighth Irish cross that’s been so successful on the eventing scene.
A classic eventing prototype, Formula One is big, strong and uphill with a really great jump. He is a spectacular mover with gorgeous conformation, and also boasts that fabulous Thoroughbred/Irish Draught lineage that produced Windsome Adante. Formula One is a great stallion to cross with a Thoroughbred mare because of his superb movement, bone structure and also his laid back disposition. He is a particularly good choice for adding bone and temperament.
Notable offspring by Formula One include Landmark’s Monte Carlo, owned by Jacqueline Mars and ridden by Lauren Kieffer. Landmark’s Monte Carlo was bred by Ms. Mars at Landmark Stables and has been successfully campaigned in eventing first by Hannah Sue Burnett and now with Lauren up through Preliminary. He shows much promise in the sport of eventing, much like his sire shows for producing sport horses.
