Speaking on the Approval, Olive Broderick of Co. Galway’s Kylemore Stud where Double Pleasure will stand in 2025 had the following to say:

“We were delighted to be able to bring a pony of this calibre to Irish breeders. Achieving a 5* rating from HSI is very rare for any horse in Ireland, not to mind a pony.  He has an unbelievable record in the very top of Pony showjumping, being the current European  individual Gold Medalist, jumping the whole of the Europeans with zero faults! He is a most beautiful pony, so athletic, so blood but yet so rideable. He has a wonderful temperament, and an exceptional trot and canter. His pedigree is proven on every side, and so he really is a complete package. He joins Tyson, and Womanizer, both 5* stallions, so that makes 3 5* stallions available at Kylemore Stud!”
