Dickens proved his quality with a qualifying score of +82% in the 5-Year-Old Young Event horse class. Dickens has much to offer in gaits, temperament and athletic ability. He possesses three quality gaits with an exceptional canter that shows very good jump as well as elasticity and ability for collection. He is always moving in very good balance and a natural uphill carriage. Light, sensitive and forward thinking, he is a pleasure to ride and train. His modern build and uphill conformation make him suitable for many types of mares especially those needing lightness and length of leg. His neck is set high on the shoulder and is of good length. An overall very elegant picture with a stunning dark coat, Dickens HR is hard to resist! After successfully establishing his competition career, Dickens was presented to the commission of the ATA and attained his lifetime breeding license with high regard for his rideability and athleticism. He was beautifully presented under saddle by his young rider Catherine (Daisy) Frank. Also Under Daisy, Dickens fulfilled the requirements for his Performance Bronze designation and will be known as Dickens of Holme Ranch *Pb*. Note that Dickens is a carrier for WFFS.
