Handel II

Handel II has enjoyed tremendous success over the past few years with Michael Whitaker - together they have accumulated over £300,000 in prize money with Grand Prix wins around the world, including taking 3rd place at the 2001 World Cup Final in Gothenburg.

He was the leading BSJA horse for two years in succession and in 2002 achieved unthinkable results at Stuttgart by winning both the Grand Prix and the Masters and in doing so picked up two top of the range Mercedes cars!

Handel II is by Wolfgang who has sired many approved sons and International Grand Prix and World Cup showjumpers, including Extreme, Frederic, Freedom, Whinny Jackson and World Champions at Lanaken, Illussion and Kigali. He is by the legendary Farn who has produced many top competition horses including the great sire Nimmerdor who was selected for the Olympics. Handel’s dam Clementine is by Ulft who is known around the world as a top sire of both dressage and jumping horses.

Handel II was used lightly at stud early on in his career and now has offspring successfully competing in all 3 disciplines. His youngstock inherit both his extravagant movement and his formidable technique over a fence and it is in the show jumping ring where they are proving to be most successful. Two of his most notable offspring to date are Alcina who won the 2002 Newcomers Championship with Michael Whitaker and Redhill Manta who won the Ladies Championship at the 2004 Scope Show with Vicky Young.
