Icaro is a Boccado Carthusian stallion, the Boccado bloodline is ancient and there are less then 500 horses of this line alive today.
Icaro was purchased as an unbroken stallion, and began his ridden career with Historic Equitation. Nothing phases this little chap and he is a hugely valued and talented member of the stables as well as being a true gentleman
He made his jousting debut at Wrest Parks 13th Century Tournament on St George’s Day in 2018 as the mount of Dominic Sewell. He attended his first 15th Century Joust at Alnwick Castle where he took everything on his stride, and is a regular performer at the Cavendish’s Horses event at Bolsover Castle where he executes stunning Classical Dressage moves in the historic Riding house; a very useful horse indeed!
