His sire, Don Index, the champion of the 2010 Stallion Performance Test in Adelheidsdorf, is a model example of performance potential. This noble, ground covering, young stallion presented himself from the beginning of his performance test as a true winning type.

These elements are what enabled the black stallion to win both the performance test dressage and overall indexes, and the title of Premium Stallion.
