Winner of the four-year-olds at the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses
Our two-time premium stallion and HLP reserve winner Opoque was already in a league of his own in the four-year-old qualifier at the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses in Ermelo/NED. With Mette Sejbjerg Jensen/DEN in the saddle, this brilliant rider scored a 9 in front of the decimal point in every respect: Trot 9.0, walk 9.5, canter 9.5, scope 9.3, perspective 9.5. And he also impressed the international jury in the final with his basic gaits, scope and perspective. 8.56 meant victory. Opoque was also unbeatable in the qualifier for the Danish Championships in Randbøl/DEN with a score of 9.1. In the final he came fifth with 8.9.
Opoque also made headlines with his first foal crop: his daughters Tres Belle and Toscane were the most expensive and second most expensive bids at the KWPN Online Foal Auction and the Global Dressage Auction respectively.
The sire All at once, himself from the first crop of his sire Ampère, was the second reserve winner at the 2012 licensing in Westphalia. Under his rider Yessin Rahmouni/MAR, he made his debut in the international Grand Prix class in 2019. In 2021, the pair took part in the Olympic Games in Tokyo/JPN, in 2022 in the World Championships in Herning/DEN and also competed in the World Cup Final in Leipzig. Nine sons of All at once have been licensed. His first offspring are already successful in the international Grand Prix class, including the licensed Fürst Fabelhaft UZN/Lina Uzunhasan/USA, Absolute Dream/Jennifer Truet/USA and Alive and Kicking/among others Charlotte Dujardin/GBR.
The dam's two half-brothers, elite mare Ice Princess STH, Jongleur STH (by Expression) and Kansas STH (by Dante Weltino OLD), placed in the international small tour in 2023. Identity STH (by Charmeur) is also successful up to Inter I level.
The dam's sire Davino V.D.O., who completed his stallion performance test in the Netherlands with 85.5 points, produced the KWPN Champion Mare from his very first crop. Two of his sons were licensed, including Incognito, who was successful up to Inter I level. Davino V.D.O. is a versatile sire, as he is also the dam of two 1.50 m and 1.40 m show jumpers, I'm Here and Ildivo respectively.
His pedigree includes the dressage horse world champion Fürst Heinrich and the sire of three-time Olympic champion Valegro, Negro.
The third dam, the elite pref. prest. mare Vurona, who herself competed up to medium level dressage, is the dam of the two licensed stallions First Choice (by Jazz) and High Five U.S. (by Charmeur). The latter was HLP Reserve Champion in the Netherlands. Her daughter Gorgeous Vurona (by Fürst Heinrich) produced the licensed stallion Viking (by Vivaldi). Her daughter Charming Vurona (by Dreamcatcher), a prok. mare who was successful in medium level dressage competitions, is the dam of the KWPN Champion Stallion Knock Out (by Ebony). Vurona herself is a half-sister to the Grand Prix dressage horse Axel (by Sandreo).
Dutch mare line 213, breeding family 425, which also produced the stallions Adonius (by Apollonios xx), Adonnis (by Gribaldi) and the Grand Prix dressage horses Junimond (by Jazz)/Pia Gabriel/AUT, Zodak (by. San Remo), Equador VD (by Ampère), Nurona (by TCN Partout) and Markant (by Michelangelo) as well as the small tour horses Corona (by Tuchinski), Gurona (by Charmeur) and Fyeo (by United).
