Statham was in Germany for preparation to be licensed 2019 , and June 12th he was shown to Mecklenburg Verband, who gave him thumbs up for warmblood main studbook with score 7,62, where he recieved 8´s for gallop and jumping. We were really excited about this, as there are very few homozygous stallion available (if any?) in Europe for warmblood breeding. He is very light in his front in trot and canter, jumps very well, learns everything really quick, and has a super rideability 

Sir Statham is now one of the talented young horses for eventing, a project SWB and the swedish riding federation foundedin 2020 to select and provide training for the most talented 4 and 5 yo horses (about 20 in total). He got a very good judgement, and the total impression "A very pleasent horse which is very well educated and presented in a good way".

After the first training session in this project, Statham was chosen for the elite-group, where the goal is to participate in WC for young eventers in 2022. He can now be concidered one of Swedens most talented young eventing horses, The critic from this session was:

Sir Statham ML is an elegant horse, with good paces, with strong hindlegs, and good balance. He jumps with elasticity and good technique, with good energy and  shows very good rideability and willingness to work.

In the autumn 2020 he did his 50-day test in Neustadt-Dosse with a total score of 7,5

2021 he has started his competition career, and has won eventing (H90) and also have good results in H100. He qualified for the finale in Breeders Trophy for 5 yo warmbloods and was one of the most successful 5 yo eventers in Sweden 2021. 

He is really talented for dressage and is always in the lead after the dressage test. The judges just love him!
