Redoubtable is an old-fashioned type of thoroughbred stallion with excellent conformation and straight moving expressive paces, an elegant horse, short coupled, deep chested, with a good length of rein, excellent feet and a beautiful head with a very kind eye. He is an impressive stallion with a superb attitude,an excellent temperament and shows a bold, careful loose jump. His champion bloodlines link him to some of the top racehorses of all and he is highly thought of by the racing world. He is a rare outcross, as he carries no Northern Dancer bloodlines, so is an excellent choice for Northern Dancer line mares. He first came to public stud in 2006 having been in training for 13 years and holds the record for the first fourteen year old to win a flat race in Great Britain since Be Hopeful in 1973. Having run 15 times in 2005 he had lost none of his incredible will to win, and is still as unblemished as the day he was born. How many ex-racing stallions would have the temperament, soundness, conformation and quality to embark on an in-hand career at 16 years of age?

A perfect gentleman at all times, we consider him to be a superb sire for top class sports ponies, show horses, show hunter ponies, working hunters, hacks, intermediates and event horses as well as top class race horses, point to pointers and polo ponies. The perfect sire to inject quality into heavier mares as well as giving thoroughbreds speed and stamina, his foals ooze presence and quality.

“There can be little doubt that Redoubtable was a complete one off.  For an entire to have run in more than 180 races, spanning 12 years bears the utmost testimony to his enthusiasm, his soundness and his temperament.  When the good Lord made this horse he must have thrown away the mould!”  Tom O’Ryan - Racing Post

 

“Redoubtable’s long and distinguishes career epitomises the key ingredients required in the modern racehorse Speed, athleticism, toughness and durability.”  Simon Maplecroft - At The Races.

 

Redoubtable was one of my best two year olds in a vintage year.  He won the National Stakes beating Risky (My Queen Mary winner) and ran a blinder in the Middle Park Stakes (Gr. 1)”  Richard Hannon
