Capital Remington is billed as a top return on investment, and the sire at the head of his page is a genuine reason why. He is by Rendement, one of the most credentialled stallions to stand in South Africa: a 1.60m horse who represented the country at the 2010 World Equestrian Games under Johan Lotter. Rendement is by Burggraaf, the influential Dutch stallion who combined the great Holstein lines of Landgraf I and Cor de la Bryère and cleared a 2.10m puissance wall in his own career. It is a sire line built on scope and carefulness.

Remington’s dam, Alzu Sonador, is by Capital Shiraz, a stud stallion by the leading Hanoverian jumping sire Stakkato, adding further jumping quality and a proven European sire line to the dam side.

Under saddle, Remington is a very intelligent horse with a lot of scope, showing real potential both on the flat and over fences. He is suited to a more advanced rider who can make the most of his ability. He’s a prospect with the raw material and the sire power to reward the right partnership.
