19. LOVE TONIGHT

Love is definitely in the air tonight.

This eye-catching horse with impressive lines and a powerful neck is literally built to perform.  Now aged six, this stallion is a phenomenal mover, always rhythmic and always balanced. He has a dynamic trot, an uphill canter and always jumps below his centre of gravity. Over jumps his stride is even and his bascule is exceptional. Love Tonight has an even temperament and is always responsive to the rider’s aids, making whoever is sitting in the saddle feel completely at ease. And this stallion has plenty of other positive attributes in addition to being light mouthed.

He’s won young horse and regular classes up to 1.15m level, and he completed his first international round with a clear.

Love Tonight is not only the spitting image of his sire, Clearline Z, he has also inherited much of his talent. Clearline Z is described as a harmonious moving horse that literally oozes presence: a stallion of exceptional quality, well-proportioned and expressive with a perfect conformation with good basic paces and an excellent canter. Clearline Z was one of the most impressive stallions in terms of jumping ability at the Southern German Licensing in Munich in 2010. The highlight of his competition career was certainly his excellent performance and high placing at the FEI World Breeding Jumping Championships for Young Horses as a six year old. Clearline Z is descended from the Holstein 741 lineage, which also produced international show jumpers Leonardo (Franke Sloothaak), Olli-Pop (Thomas Kleis) and Randi (John Whitaker).

Dam sire Clooney is a competition stallion with massive potential as both a sport horse and a sire. Now his offspring are following in his show jumping footsteps and flying the ‘Clooney’ flag. Love Tonight’s pedigree is rounded off by the thoroughbred genes of Abydos.

Love Tonight is an ideal partner for an ambitious amateur rider.

“All I need is your love tonight,
All I need is your love tonight.”
