Alligator is an exceptional horse with a fantastic mind. He is has an excellent topline, a beautiful shoulder and a long neck. He has a very expressive head. He has very correct legs. His trot is very active and he has a big strided canter. Alligator is a fast horse.

Alligator Fontaine fits well sporty mares with an average size and refined frame, requiring a stallion with strong legs, as he passes on his size and strong legs. Some of his larger foals, like him, can be late developers and deserve to be brought along slowly.

Alligator and his younger brother Frascator Mail were late bloomers but have both gone on to become International Champions.
