Camel was born in France where he underwent his stallion grading, he was then imported to the Kronplet stud in Denmark by Helena Ea Sogaard Nielsen for further developing and stud duties. His foal's are on the larger side, feature robust athleticism, correct confirmation, gentle spunky demeanors, inquisitive, friendly natured and very people oriented. In Denmark he leaves a full chestnut leopard, near leopard bay, and two roans. After attributing his genes to two longtime, highly respected breeder's of Original Classical Knabstrupper’s tracing their origins to the original founding house of Lunn. It was then agreed he would find his final home in the United States of America, imported in 2022 for preservation stud, he is currently training with his owner where his work ethics, power, stamina and willingness to please truly shine. Camel is an attractive, intelligent, kind, willing partner offering sensibility, cooperation, submission, suppleness, balance and exceptional self carriage. He is a pleasure to work with being sensible both under saddle and on the ground, his manners are ideal.
