San Amour I came third at the Oldenburg licensing in 2006, won the main premium in 2008 and was placed in the final of the German Championships in 2009 with Dr. Ulf Möller.
He owes his twelfth place amongst the world’s best dressage sires to his numerous offspring who compete in Grand Prix, including West Side Story OLD/Estelle Wettstein/SUI, Olympic and European Championship participant, Ikke-Pia v/d Bergerhoeve/Lore Vandeborne/BEL, World and European Championship participant, Sound of Silence/Camille Carier Bergeron/CAN, team bronze medallist at the Pan-Am Games, the Nations Cup winners Addict de Massa/Anna Kasprzak/DEN and Scarlett/Anne Marie Hosbond/DEN, Sandro D Amour/Olga Safronova/POL, Selfmade/Adriane Alvord/USA, Copernico/Aleksandra Poplawska/POL and Soiree d’Amour OLD/Carina Scholz, who were placed in World Cup freestyles, and FBW Sunfire/Ann-Kathrin Lindner/GER, triple U25 European Championships gold medallist and winner of the Piaff-Förderpreis. San Amour I’s offspring successes are completed by the Vice World Champion of young dressage horses Samoura M, the German Champion Saniola and the Vice German Champion Stern von Afrika OLD.
The number of licensed sons has risen to over 50, including champion and premium stallions. Over 220 of San Amour’s daughters have so far been awarded with the predicate state premium mare in different breeding regions, such as the Oldenburg Champion Mare, Calamity Jane, the Champion Mare of the Franz-Strahl-Schäfer Show in Baden-Württemberg (6y.o.), Sazou E, and the winner of the German Elite Mare Championships in Lienen, Santanyi, who is the dam of the German Champion Macadamja.
Many top horses for breeding and sport descend from the combination between the line founder Sandro Hit and St.Pr./El.St. Puppenfee, Oldenburg Reserve Champion Mare and ranked Ic at the European Championships in Brussels/BEL. For example, San Amour’s full brother, San Amour II, licensed stallion standing in Belgium, A Sugar Baby, Ik-Brillantring mare, Summerhill, who qualified for the German Championships and Auguste Victoria, mare performance test winner, Id-Brillantring mare and Regional Champion. Auguste Victoria produced the Oldenburg Reserve Champion Mare Amelie (by Fürstenball).
His grand-dam, Ariola, produced the licensed stallion Pierrot Royal (by Plaisir d’Amour), whose full sister Paradise was sold at the P.S.I. Auction and was successful up to Inter II, and Lux-Dressage Dona Figuera (by Donnerschwee), who was successful up to Grand Prix.
The dam’s sire, Plaisir d’Amour, who was successful up to World Championships, the Oldenburg legend Figaro and the thoroughbred Kronprinz xx round off the pedigree.
San Amour represents the dam line Armgard, from which descend the stallions Floriscount/Oliver Oelrich, Botticello/Leonie Bramall/CAN, Sandakan, Baresi and Brindisi.
