Blue Hors Florent was the reserve champion stallion at the 50-day test in Adelheidsdorf, where he achieved very good grades, especially for rideability and willingness to perform, canter and overall impression, all of which are qualities that are rooted in his bloodlines - just as the good show-jumping blood is.

Florent received no score under 8, 9 for rideability and 8,5 for jumping making him a good option for adding jump to your dressage horse! He is a stallion that develops positively and with lots of potential for the future.

His sire, Floriscount, was the 2008 winner of the 70-day test in Schlickau with a dressage index of 147.49. where he achieved the following grades: walk: 8.0, trot: 9.0, canter: 9.75, riding ability: 8.5 (test rider 10.0) and capacity: 9.0. Floriscount qualified both in 2010 and 2011 for the Bundeschampionat for 5-year-old and 6-year-old dressage horses in Warendorf.

The damsire, Desperados, who for a number of years has been one of the world's most winning dressage stallions. With rider Kristina Bröring-Sprehe, the stallion has been part of the German national team and has helped win team silver at the 2012 Olympics, team gold at WEG 2014 and team gold at the 2016 Olympics, where he also became an individual bronze medalist. The pair, who have also been German champions, ended in 2018 a long and glorious career with countless international victories.

SEGNORITA
Sir Donnerhall / Weltmeyer/ Escudo

Segnorita is a lovely, well bred mare. She is confident and forward thinking, with just the right amount of sensitivity. Her walk is exceptionally correct, has swing and ample freedom in the shoulder. Her trot is cadenced, with great rhythm and lift and her canter is uphill, bold, and ground covering.

Segnorita started her dressage career in Germany prior to being imported to Canada and then later the US. She was accepted into a top Knapstrupper breeding program where she was graded Premium by Westfalen. Both her 2021 Knabstrupper colt and her 2022 Knapstrupper filly, were awarded Premium by Westfalen.

Segnorita’s sire, Scuderia, produced 15 state premium mares and 3 licensed stallions during his breeding career before being purchased by German rider, Selina Söder, who rode him through PSG/Inter I. Notably, Scuderia is the grandsire of stallion, Be Sure, who stands at Helgstrand in Denmark. During his stallion performance test, Be Sure was awarded reserve champion, with consistently high scores of 9.0 for his trot, canter, rideability and performance. Scuderia’s sire, Sir Donnerhall I, needs little introduction. He is a foundation stallion, producing 101 licensed stallions. As of 2022, he is ranked 4th on the FEI World Ranking for dressage horses. He was second reserve champion at his licensing, stallion performance test winner, Ia main premium sire in 2005 and in 2006 Bundeschampion, and vice World Champion of five year old dressage horses.

Segnoita’s dam, Windsor World, is by the legendary Weltmeyer. According to the American Hanoverian Society, “Weltmeyer continues to almost single-handedly reshape the Hanoverian breed." He was the 1986 winner of the stallion licensing in Verden, and the 1987 winner of the stallion performance test in Adelheidsdorf. In the same year Weltmeyer also won the three-year-old stallions classification at the Federal Championships of German Riding Horses in Warendorf. In 1988 he was honored in Verden as best stallion of his age-group and awarded with the "Freiherr von Stenglin-Prize". One year later he became DLG Champion 1989 in Frankfurt. And last but not least he became "Hanoverian Stallion of the Year" in 1998. As of today, Weltmeyer has produced 70 licensed sons, all of them are excellent stallions.
