Danse Rouge (Doodle) is a substantial mare with outstanding fluid movement and a particularly good trot with huge elasticity and balance.  Doodle competed up to Advanced Medium dressage, even being used in demonstrations by International Olympic Dressage rider Carl Hester.  Doodle sustained a ligament injury in the field and has been retired from her ridden career. 

Her sire Catherston Dance in the Dark, by the great Dutch Courage, stands at Glenwood Stud in Northumberland and has successfully competed in eventing, showjumping and showing.  He is full brother to Catherston Dancing Storm, an advanced eventer who qualified for Badminton.  He is also half brother to Catherston Dazzler, Catherston Decipher & Catherston Dauntless to name a few.  Doodle has certainly inherited his amazing ability, conformation and easy temperament.  For further information on Catherston Dance in the Dark please go to www.glenwoodstud.co.uk

Her dam is a thoroughbred mare that has definitely passed on an incredible turn of speed to this mare!  Doodle will be put to Freckleton Enchilada later this year, and will unquestionably produce a foal with the ability to excel in any sphere.
