Carleyle attracted attention from an early age with his quick reflexes and impressive scope. During his performance test, he received the maximum score of 10 for both his conformation and jumping ability. He won several young horse classes and Bundeschampionat qualifiers. Carleyle subsequently achieved victories and top placings with Gregory Wathelet in international classes up to 1.45m level. His pedigree combines Connor, Casall, For Pleasure and Contender—four leading names in modern showjumping breeding. Several sons from his first crops have already been licensed, while his oldest offspring stand out for their scope, rideability and good technique.
