Testimonials
“I chose to use Carthago Chicago because I simply loved him from the second I saw him. He had this “look at me” factor that went alongside his amazing temperament, which for me as a first time breeder was ideal. He ticked all the boxes of things that I was looking for in a stallion that would improve my Irish mare – being height, movement and temperament. I am absolutely delighted with my filly by him, who has just taken everything in her stride. She has the most lovely temperament and is just a delight to deal with. I’m very much looking forward to my future with her.”
