About Revolution:

True to his name, Revolution is a revolution in modern dressage horse breeding. He simply transmits everything to his offspring. The best example: our Oldenburg and Danish Premium stallion, stallion performance test second Reserve Champion, Vice Regional and Hanoverian Champion, Rockabye S. From the first two crops, ten sons of Revolution were approved for breeding, including the Hanoverian Premium stallion Rom as well as our stallions Radius and Straight Hors Ramses, licensed in Denmark. Revolution's daughter Hann.Pr.A. Romy was named Champion Mare of the Herwart von der Decken show in Verden. In Denmark, Blaze von Rosing won the silver medal and Terpling's Ravena took bronze. Revoluna/Leonie Bramall/CAN, Romy, Renaissance and Roxane have performed brilliantly in young horse competitions.

In 2020, as a seven-year-old, Revolution made his debut with a win and over 77% at Prix St. Georges level. However, he was not able to expand his collection of World Championships gold and silver medals with his trainer Andreas Helgstrand/DEN as a result of the cancellation of the championships due to the coronavirus pandemic.

A rock star. A power house”, the judges introduced their enthusiastic commentary on Revolution's performance in the final of the World Championships for five-year-old dressage horses. “For the ground-covering and powerful trot, 9.8, for the rhythmic, over-tracking and relaxed walk, 9.0, for the balanced, clearly uphill canter, 10, for the constant submission, 9.3, and for the perspective,10.0.” With a total score of 9.62, the premium stallion of the Hanoverian licensing and Champion stallion of the Danish licensing, Stallion Market top price, winner of the stallion performance test (seven times the maximum score of 10) and Danish Dressage Horse Champion (four times the maximum score of 10.0) could not be denied the 2018 World Championship crown. In 2019, Revolution again received dream scores in the World Championships final for six-year-old dressage horses (trot 10, canter 9.6, walk 9.0, rideability 8.8, perspective 9.8, total 9.44) and ceded victory by a hair's breadth. At the subsequent Danish Championships, Revolution was awarded 10 for all three paces. He won the gold medal with an overall score of 9.6.
