IRON MAN DE FAVRAY

Iron Man de Favray is the full package, offering blood, elegance and ability to breeders. His impressive attributes have been recognized by the Selle Francais stud book.  At age 2, finished fourth with the best jumping score in the Selle-Français stallion qualifier at St. Lo. (18.5)
At three years old, he placed fifth in the Selle-Français stallion championship with the best jumping grade, qualified for the testing in the fall of 2021, and was given the approval to produce Selle-Français and joined the Stud-Book Selle-Français’s young genetics program. 4-year-old finalist at Fontainebleau ranking in the top 100 4-year-old horses.

With 38 mares already covered in France it is clear to see why he is already so popular with breeders.  His diverse pedigree offers mare owners a deeper dive into a unique gene pool.

An absolute gentleman in the stables, he even shares his meals with his chicken friend who frequents his box.  This pleasant disposition continues under saddle where he happily exceeds every expectation with his easy, can-do attitude.

His natural elasticity and locomotion not only mean he has a strong natural talent for dressage but lend themselves as unrivaled attributes between jumps, where he is agile and fluid around a course.  Coupled with his acrobatic ability over a fence-the young Iron Man de Favray is world class stallion in the making.

Pierre HENRIOT, former judge of Stud Book SF analyzed his evolution as follows:

 
“Nice progress since last year, always nice front-end orientation with more material.” Her shoulder shape is gorgeous and placed just right. Attachment from the withers is long and very well in place, his haunches are attached well, connected and strong.  with sufficient length of leg and good orientation.
Horse is in full evolution and progressing smoothly, just a little more patience before seeing it at the top.
I really like the balance of his confirmation.
If you’re dreaming of a foal just like the ones I’ve had the pleasure of raising, efficient, versatile and if you’re looking for a thrill, off the beaten track, the very modern strain of IRON MAN should seduce you!”
