Lady Anne Blunt describes him in her studbook thus:
"A grey with very black points and black mane and
tail (at 7 years) after - and became white and fleabitten.
A magnificent horse in every way, grand head and neck,
powerful shoulder, with unrivaled trotting action. Seen
approaching at the trot one saw underneath the hoof. Enormous
strength of back and quarter, up to any weight. Tail set very
high and splendidly carried. Legs absolute perfection, the sinews
literally like steel to the touch. Great speed and impossible to
tire. His stock superior to any other."
Not much over 14 hands, he measured 7 and 7/8ths below the knee.
