He was graded by the KNN, his Danish Breed Society, at the first UK Knabstrupper grading in October 2005 and again in 2006. In 2007 he passed the KNN stallion performance test and will be presented for final grading in 2010. He is also graded and registered with the Scottish Sports Horse. Pinocchio is a charming black near leopard spotted Knabstrupper. He is a four year old purebred Knabstrupper by Plet af Engvang. Plet has interesting old Knabstrupper bloodlines and scored highly for his loose jumping at grading. Plet af Engvang is also a black based leopard spotted Knabstrupper stallion. Pinocchio's dam descends from the warmblood stallion Raimondo. Raimondo is well known as the sire of jumpers and is the damsire of Lando, the Olympic showjumper. Pinocchio's damsire, Xanthos, is a graded leopard spotted Knabstrupper stallion who has been awarded a silver medal for his offspring. Pinocchio is noticed by everyone for his outstanding markings, endearing nature and jumping ability. He absolutely loves to jump and has excellent technique. He has a fantastic, intelligent temperament and good conformation. He was lightly started under saddle in 2007 with the aim of passing his performance test which he achieved. Pinocchio's first two foals were born in 2007. The two fillies were presented at the Scottish Sports Horse gradings in front of Dutch and Swiss judges and both achieved a First Premium. One was also shown at the KNN Grading where she was awarded another First Premium. Pinocchio's 2008 colt Blacklaw Viking, out of Vixen KNN 1608, was also awarded a first premium at the 2010 KSGB / KNN grading held at Moulton College.
