Thatcher is a 17hd Registered Dutch Warmblood stallion by Welt Hit II

Thatcher is a 17 H Bay Registered Dutch Warmblood stallion out of the Keur mare, Mistral (Vincent x El Corona) by the dressage stallion Welt Hit II.

Welt Hit II (by Weltmeyer) is known for his presence and beauty as well as his movement, and Thatcher has strongly taken after him.

Thatcher was awarded a 1st Premium at the NA/WPN Keuring in 2000 and was presented in 2002 for his 2 year old preliminary stallion inspection where he also received a 1st Premium. He was recognized as No. 1 on the 2002 Top Ten List for Two Year Old Colts.

Thatcher was presented in 2003 for stallion licensing and was accepted. His IBOP scores for Dressage were: Walk - 9.0, Trot - 7.5, Canter - 8.0 and Dressage Talent - 8.5

According to the Dutch Keuring jury: "Thatcher is an excellent modern, riding type stallion with lovely conformation and beautiful uphill movement He has an exceptionally good front and shoulder with a good length and position of neck and a very correct topline. Thatcher's clear walk is supple with a very good reach. The trot is especially elastic with good reach from the shoulder and good carriage. The canter also has good reach, is supple and the horse is able to carry the weight of the rider easily. Thatcher seems to have a good mind, a willing character and good working ethic."

Thatcher has an interesting pedigree, which is also shown by his expected values of 167 for dressage, 108 for conformation and 109 for movement.
