In a word, Pellervo is a magnificent horse. You don't really have to introduce him to Finnhorse fans, because during the past three seasons he has been almost invincible on Finnish horses' show jumping classes and as a result of this he has won three Finnish Championships in a row in 1999-2001! The charming black stallion gathers admiration wherever he is, but in addition to his good competition results he also has a really fine nature. You rarely meet a stallion smarter or calmer than Pokeri and he's really easy to handle and a true gentleman. The only situation when Pokeri tends to "perform" a little is when he knows there's a mare waiting for him...
When riding dressage Poke can even be downright lazy if he's not interested of what he's supposed to do - or at least he concentrates on anything but the matter itself, like on all the interesting things happening around him! When it comes to jumping he is always attentive and his capacity is huge, he jumps precisely and carefully.  In general Poke is well schooled and pleasant to ride even if sometimes he may surprise you with a good buck!
Pellervo is a I prize stallion on the Finnish Riding Horse Stud Book and in Castello there is also one of his offsrings, Castellon Pietari -00.

EX-GROOM'S COMMENT: "Nice and really calm stallion. A true ideal to groom. Although at times there is a boyish glimpse in the corner of Pokeri's eye, too! In every way a real gentleman. Of this he has got his "nickname" Tädäri (=täydellinen, perfect)." - Sonja
