Sire: Aberlou Dam: Miss Charlie

•Aberlou has been one of the most successful and influential stallions in New Zealand.

•Aberjack competed to Advanced level with Mark Todd.

According to Mark Todd, “Although we only covered a few mares with him as he was still competing, from a wide variety of mares he has stamped them with the image of himself. All have lovely heads and fronts on them, with good bodies and correct legs and with a look of quality about them, even from the heavier non-thoroughbred mares. They all seem to have inherited his amazing temperament and everyone has commented how easy they are to handle.”

Mark Todd on Aberjack’s Temperament:

"I was impressed with the way he felt when I tried him, both with his movement and his jump and he seemed to have the perfect temperament. Geoff and Anna had played round with him on the farm with Anna taking him to a few dressage shows and Geoff using him for cattle work on their farm and going hunting. He was so quiet that he could take their young children round the farm on the front of the saddle and “Jacko” would take absolutely no notice." "Right from the start he was a delight to deal with and to train and showed a natural aptitude towards cross-country. He jumped so well that if I had the time I would have liked to try him more as a straight show jumper as I feel he could have gone quite long way in this field."
