The outstanding quality of his movement was emphasized in particular by his elastic and up-hill trot and his long-striding, powerful canter. Vigado’s Level excelled in free jumping, demonstrating seemingly boundless ability, excellent technique and remarkable judgement - qualities predicting a promising future as a top level jumper.
