Fine Dream HW is a charmer and has the best bloodlines, his sire Finest, is the unforgotten "winner of the heart" on the occasion of his licensing in Verden, winner of the series in dressage horse tests and a sire who seeks his equal!
After unique moments at the licensing in Verden this convincing charmer had a more than successful entry into the breeding career. His foal years left nothing to be desired. There was hardly a foal show in which Finest could not make the respective winning foal. His captivating charm, unmistakable character and even the three basic gaits, blessed in equal measure with exceptional quality, he has undoubtedly passed on to his descendants. So it was possible in the last few years to provide several participants at the German Foal Championship in Lienen!
The inheritance of Finest is thus constantly on everyone's lips - this is still reflected on the auction sites of various associations again, an outstanding price spear chasing the next. A highlight was then the approvals last fall, it was raining record numbers in terms of the approved offspring of Finest. We would particularly like to highlight the Verden licensing, in which Finest was represented with 9 of his descendants. One of them was even allowed to decorate himself with the coveted premium sash and changed ownership for € 360,000. Through a total of 8 licensed sons on the most relevant Körplätzen Hannover, Oldenburg & Westphalia, this year's event was marked by Finest's signature. And also on the mare shows were already the first successes to be recorded, as well as numerous class wins and Schausiege were the result. A custom made inheritance performance in every respect.

This picture-book career is also reflected on the sporting level. After his 30-day test in Münster (breeding value of 138 points), Finest developed excellently and became a series winner in dressage horse tests with grades up to 9.0 at the age of four. So far undefeated in all his starts, he was able to win the first qualification for the Bundeschampionat of 5-year-old dressage horses in 2016 as well. Here, Finest received the third highest score of all qualified for the Bundeschampionat participants in his class. Father Fürstenball sets milestones at a very young age - he himself was a brilliant champion stallion of his licensing, HLP winner, Bundeschampion of 5-year-old dressage horses and a high-ranking participant in the world championship of six-year-old dressage horses. The mother Like Princess of the Schwindler's Trakehner family brought with her first three foals two licensed stallions and a top-class state premium Mare. Mother Father Like Weltmeyer himself u.A. attract attention as an Olympian. And Prince Thatch remains in the memory of Allen as the father of the World Cup team gold champion Piccolini under Klaus Husenbeth. More than 30 licensed stallions, numerous elite mares and countless award-winning foals have already emerged from this strain. Finest has no red factor and thus is pure dark in its inheritance (no foxes).

Fine Dream HW’s dam sire is Dressage Royal.
Dressage Royal distinguished himself not only because of his excellent conformation, his unimpeachable character and his fantastic pedigree, but also through his own performances: high rideability, his basic gaits and his show jumping skills are of exquisite quality. This was confirmed by the testing committee and the test rider. His rideability for dressage was judged with 8.21 points, his show jumping qualities with a straight 8.00 during his stallion testing.
Dressage Royal was fully trained to Grand Prix level and had show success in Germany as a young horse.

Westphalian Licensed
Originally owned by Herman and Dorit Kothe, the black Oldenburg bred Dressage Royal was first licensed at the 2000 Westphalian Stallion Licensing in Munster-Handorf, and between 2001 and 2002 he got approved for Hanover, Brandenburg and Oldenburg.

He did his 30-day stallion performance test in March 2001 in Munster-Handorf and scored 8.21 for dressage and 8.0 for show jumping.

He fulfilled his HLP duties through sport in 2002 and 2003.

Sport
Anja Hermelink was the first rider to compete him as a 3-year old in 2001.

In 2002 Christoph Koschel took over the ride, but halfway through the season Ulla Hansen took over, followed by Ramon Dreyer. The latter rode the stallion to a fourth place at the 2003 Bundeschampionate in the 5-year old finals.
In 2004 a show break followed, but Dressage Royal returned to the arena in 2005 under Sonja Franzenburg-Much. She competed him at L-level for a year.
In 2007 he made a second come back to the arena under Hannes Krüger at L-level.

Breeding Stallion
Dressage Royal stood up for stud the majority of his life at his owner's yard, Hengsthaltung Kothe until the couple retired and closed their business.

Martin Sprehe took over Dressage Royal and stood him at stud. As of 2018 the stallion spent his time at the "retirement" center Schemder Bergmark, where he enjoyed his quiet time outside and still covered a few mares live.

"Because his general condition was deteriorating and the treating vets saw no way for improvement, the Kothe family decided with a heavy heart to put him to sleep," Martin Sprehe stated.

Legacy
Dressage Royal lives on through his offspring. He sired 4 licensed sons: Damsey, Doringcourt, Diesel CF, and UNO Don Diego - and 9 state premium daughters.

Although Dressage Royal was not so much a "popular" breeding stallion, his exceptional Donnerhall x Rubinstein pedigree produced an impressive string of top dressage horses! He has 258 offspring registered for sport in Germany, of which 25 compete at S-level.

Louise Leatherdale's Damsey FRH is his most famous son.
Under Helen Langehanenberg the stallion won team gold at the 2017 European Dressage Championships and was third in the 2019 World Cup Finals. Other famous offspring are Grand Prix horses Dandy de la Roche (Antonella Joannou) and Dressman (Wolfgang Schade), the 2008 World Young Horse Champion and 2011 Nurnberger Burgpokal winner Desperado OLD, and FEI horses David du Plessis Belliere (Hana Vasaryova), Darek CH (Stephanie Hartmann), and Darius Rubin (Cesar Parra).
