Sire: Sir Gregory

Shandon is by Sir Gregory , a very modern type stallion, of striking good-looks, with a beautiful head and neck. He has very correct conformation, powerful and elastic gates, with good use hind leg, and he shows a very good ability to collect. Sir Gregory offers a good temperament and high rideability.

Sir Gregory is by Sir Donnerhall and out of Premiere by Grand Prix dressage stallion Don Gregory. Don Gregory is the sired of numerous licensed sons, champion stallions, State Premium, Brilliantring and Champion mares, top auction horses, Bundeschampions and World Champions. In the damline we also find the stallion Picasso and top hanoverian stallion Graphit.

Dam: Prince Suprice

Shandon’s dam is Princess Suprice. Princess Suprice is an imported Oldenburg mare who boasts blood lines including sire Feinbrand, the impressive Stallion known for producing premium level offspring with over 10 licensed sons and twelve premium mares. Princess Suprice’s dam sire is none other than Oldenburg stallion Prinz Miro. A stallion of proud foundational lines, Prinz Miro is the licensed son of Pik Bube. Pik Bube is considered a success in his own right but became something of a phenomenom when teamed with Donnerhall as a broodmare sire. We see the Donnerhall lines repeated in both Diamond Chip’s dam sire Sir Gregory and sire Diamond Stud.
