Cannon Bone Information
Graded studbook	His performances make him the best living stallion in eventing, with 8 four star events under his belt, he finished 2011 as the number 3 eventing horse in the world, and the highest ranked Stallion. Leprince finished 4th at Pau, 7th at Burghley and 11th at Badminton. In fact Leprince is ready and fit to run at Burghley this year, but since The Stallion Company have just bought him, we decided to retire him from sport to concentrate on his breeding career.
