This striking son of multi supreme champion Douthwaite Signwriter has quality, athleticism and very correct conformation, everything you would expect in an outstanding performance pony stallion. His pedigree includes some of the best Welsh bloodlines renown for producing not only supreme champion show stock but also top class competition/ performance ponies.

Signature is a very sweet pony with a great character, extravagant paces and a superb temperament he is very much a people pony and is regularly handled at home by children. This must surely be a testament to his genuine nature and incredible potential to sire fantastic children’s ponies. In March 2010 he began his ridden career with 13 year old Jack Starkie. First time out he qualified for PUK Winter Championships in the Confined Novice and Open HORSELODE Mixed height M&M WHP classes. He has consistantly jumped double clears showjumping and has competed dressage narrowly missing out on qualifying for The NPS Dressage Championships at Addington Manor.Judges described him as a " talented pony with super rythmic paces - the perfect childs pony". All this from a little stallion who isn't four till June.

This talented pony also shows such a classic technique over a fence when loose jumping - so good that in time he will be produced not only as a ridden working hunter pony but as a show jumping pony stallion as well. He has been lightly shown at county level as a youngster with good results, taking everything in his stride and never being fazed by big shows and stabling away from home.

Autumn 2008 he attended The Sports Pony Society annual Broodmare & Youngstock Show achieving an SPSS first Premium scoring 10/10 for his head and neck 9.5/10 for shoulder/body/overline & 9/10 for limbs/feet – the judges comments included " fantastic and lots to like".

He has been fully vetted and licensed as a stallion with the Welsh Pony and Cob Society. He has been backed and ridden away autumn 2009 proving to be a calm and sensible ride 100% in the heaviest of traffic regularly hacking out in the company of mares and other stallions.

We consider this lovely pony to be a superb sire for working hunter ponies, show hunter ponies and have the ability to produce amazing showjumping/event ponies.

His first crop of foals is eagerly awaited spring 2010 from mares ranging from Section A lead Rein ponies to small Thoroughbred mares. He is very kind and polite with his mares, the perfect gentleman.

Autumn 09 he competed at Ingliston House Equestrian Centre International Pony Of The year Show in the Scottish Sports Horse 3 year old pony Loose Jumping Championships. He was judged and assessed by two international showjumping judges who scored him 8/10 for Scope, technique and suitability. With the highest score in his section 13 hands & under he then went on to take reserve champion in the final as well as the best turned out prize – a huge bottle of champagne. The judges commented on his great temperament and aptitude for showjumping. Later reports by the Scottish Sports Horse described him as "a beautiful grey colt "
