Premium stallion and stallion performance test reserve winner
Our promising Straight Horse Leonardo, premium stallion at the Danish licensing, reserve champion in his stallion performance test, 2024 silver medal and Aage Ravn Challenge Cup winner, met breeders’ high expectations of him as a sire with an outstanding first crop of foals. With their flawless conformation and ground-covering paces, his impressive offspring are in high demand among dressage horse talent scouts.
His sire Lord Europe was himself two-time premium stallion, an 800,000 euros stallion market prize sensation and - as youngest stallion - second in the final of the Nuremberg Burg-Pokal. He won winner's prize with a score of 9.5. Under Leonie Richter, he secured his ticket for the final with the highest score of all qualifiers - 77.951 percent. In 2024, Lord Europe easily made the leap into Grand Prix level class: he won warm-up test for Oldenburg semi-final of Derby Stars von Morgen series with almost 74 percent. He produced several licensed sons from his first crop, including the second Westphalian reserve champion Lodovico, second top stallion on market with hammer price 401,000 euros. At the Schockemöhle online auction for young stallions, Lord Romance PS was the second top-priced stallion with a knockdown of 270,000 euros. The Lord Europe daughter First Vaiana was winner of Oldenburg Elite Broodmare Show. Lord Extra won bronze at the Oldenburg Championships under Julian Fetzer and came fifth at Bundeschampionat.
The dam Straight Horse De Milla was presented as gold medal mare in Denmark and took sixth place at riding horse Championships in 2019.
Damsire De Niro, himself already successful in Grand Prix classes as an eight-year-old and winner of the Hamburg Dressage Derby under riding master Dolf-Dietram Keller, led the WBFSH ranking list of the best dressage sires worldwide for six years in a row.
