Heartbeat - a very popular choice
Hingstekåring og Hestemesse den 7. - 10. marts 2013 i MCH Messecenter Herning
It was the impressive stallion Heartbeat by Heartbreaker/Ramiro from Stald Cajus that was crowned Stallion
of the Year 2013 and he joins the hall of fame of important stallions which since 1998 have been decorated
with this title.
It is not the first time Kari and Jack Munch-Christiansen have the honour of receiving the prestigious title:
Stallion of the Year in Danish Warmblood. Back in 2009 their elite stallion Cajus had the honour.
– He is bred in Holland and came to Denmark as a 3-year-old with an impact few before him has mustered,
said chairman of the licensing commission Poul Graugaard. – Please welcome Heartbeat, he said and the
audience did not have to be asked twice. A very popular choice, indeed.
In the Young Horse Championship he scored maximum points as he received eight times 10. Heartbeat made
his debut in international jumping in 2008 and has booked numerous placings and victories. He has sired
champion and premium stallions as well as highly decorated mares.
Heartbeat pondered quietly during all the commotion. Torben Frandsen cantered out on the honorary lap and
the cheering simply would not stop. Standing ovations followed Heartbeat out of sight.
