Glasgow

Glasgow is a Swedish warmblood stallion by Grand Galaxy Win out of Barcelona (by Figaro R x Bernstein x Toe Hold xx). He is owned by Gransbo Stuteri. He was presented at the testing by Mua Runesson and scored 9 for walk, and 8.5 for trot and canter under saddle.

The SWB Licensing committee described the winner as a "well-balanced, sensitive and positive horse. He switches gears and he can easily lengthen and collect in all gaits. He is nicely in front of the leg and in the mouth. Very focused under his ride."

The stallions were test ridden by Swedish Grand Prix rider Mads Hendeliowitz.
