Dan Jiang is a tall, correct gelding with a sweet personality and elastic, sweeping movement and tons of freedom in the shoulder. His full brother Don Aqui got licensed at Verden main licensing in October 2000 and went ahead to a successful career including material classes, suitability, young dressagehorsetests and young jumper classes up to 4'3''. He then switched to eventing where he was a finalist at the 2003 Bundeschampionate. As of 2004 he is the highest winning Don Bosco offspring outbeating licensing winner Don Crusador.
Dan Jiang was entitled champion colt at 2000 foal show judged by Heiner Ahrenshop. He then grew up in our boys group and took advantage of pasture life as well as socializing with his gang so he is going to be an uncomplicated fellow with other horses, dogs, husbands, children and traffic.
See his dam Riehe Farm's Gadina.
