CONFORMATION AND MATING RECOMMENDATIONS
Standing 16.1 hands tall, Eskendereya is Leading Sire Giant’s Causeway’s most exciting son
to enter stud in North America in recent years. Eskendereya is a great combination of strength
and balance with a radiant muscle definition that exhibits the athleticism he displayed on the
racetrack. He has a masculine head, beautiful, long neck and is extremely well-balanced with
a strong, laid-back shoulder. Deep girthed with a strong back that tapers into big, powerful hip
and hind quarter, Eskendereya also possesses the ideal hind leg. He has short cannon bones
with a great forearm and gaskin, outstanding feet, and a great quality and volume of bone as
well. At a walk he is just slightly offset in the knees but tracks well and glides over the ground as
you would expect of a G1SW and the most dominant colt of his generation.
Eskendereya’s supreme physical characteristics will no doubt improve all mare types and
physically match up well with most mares. We feel he will best suit mares of above average size
that are correct and have a pretty head.
