Crackenthorpe horses?

They are all quite typey and look very alike (with the odd exception). They seem to have had a few with very good competition records but I don't know what percentage that may be against what is bred.

Not necessarily my cup of tea but the stud has stood the test of time so that must say something :D
 
I've competed against a few of them, and have spoken to Susan on many occasion. I know someone who owned one but tragically lost him as a four year old. They always tend to pull off a very nice dressage test, seem very careful in the showjumping and are brave and bold x country. I personally think that you could do a lot worse than a Crackenthorpe horse. I like them, vie never seen or heard of anything bad coming out of there.
 
All the horses i own are Crackenthorpe lines, i wouldn't change. They do every job i want from quiet hacking through to Eventing. I find the temps. excellent very will and for giving if i get it wrong, sweet loving horses all like cuddles.
I have read a bad report on here which i feel the person should look at their training methods rather than blaming breeding.
Easiest way is to look the competition results up on DB, BE or BS.
 
HOYS results. Wow Foxy Formula Won and Overall Champion of the Int SRT (breed by Stuart Graves sire Crackenthorpe Kartier (crackenthorpe Formula One's full brother), grand sire Pentagon), 2nd Lochill High Society (breed by John Jacks, Sire Billy the kid, grand sire Pentagon).
