Premium stallion of the Danish licensing
What an eye-catcher! Strandagergårds Mccloud comes from the most famous Danish mare line, which goes back to the foundation mare Stella Rosagergård, born in Germany in 1905. At his licensing in Herning, Denmark, he enchanted with basic gaits in a class of their own.
The sire My Vitality is a full brother to the Nuremberg Burg-Pokal winner and main sire Vitalis. He began his career as a premium stallion. He was also stallion performance test winner (total score 902.5) and winner of the Danish Championships. As a four-year-old under the saddle of Eric Guardia Martinez/ESP, he received scores of 9.0 and better in all traits. Cathrine Rasmussen/NOR then took over the further ride of My Vitality. He won dressage tests for young horses with scores over 83 per cent in a row. In 2024, he represented the colours of Norway at the World Breeding Dressage Championship for seven-year-old horses. Our Strandagergårds Mccloud is from My Vitality's first stallion crop.
The dam Strandagergårds Selma was successful in the dressage ring under Julie Dam Jensen/DEN.
Dam’s sire Sezuan was world champion for young dressage horses at the age of five, six and seven and is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after dressage stallions of our time. Under his trainer Dorothee Schneider, he also won international competitions up to Inter I. He has since been trained up to Grand Prix level with help of Patrik Kittel/SWE. The Danish champion stallion, record stallion performance test winner, Danish dressage horse champion, elite stallion and stallion of the year in Denmark also dominates the breeding scene. He produced the two-time record stallion performance test winner Sezuan's Donnerhall, the two-time premium stallion, stallion performance test winner, Bundeschampion, winner of the four-year-old competition at the World Breeding Dressage Championship for Young Horses and now successful at advanced-level dressage So Unique under Isabell Werth, the Vice World Champion of Young Dressage Horses and Bundeschampion Secret, the in Inter-dressage competitions placed Joshua under Isabell Werth, and the reigning Louisdor Prize winner DSP Sheldon Cooper under Carina Harnisch, to name just a few highlights.
The granddam elite mare Shania Gravvænge produced the premium stallion Strandagergårds Faustino. She was also the dam of his full brother Strandagergårds Prinz Fahrenheit (by Fürstenball), who was also licensed, and the licensed Strandagergårds Deluxe (by De Noir). The latter was in the finals of the Danish Young Horse Championships. The Shania Gravvænge daughter Strandagergårds Shamona (by Don Romantic) is the dam of the champion stallion foal and record auction foal in Denmark, Strandagergårds Sirocco (by Sezuan), and the bronze medallist mare Strandagergårds Sanadu (by Zackerey).
The great-granddam elite mare Scarlet Gravvænge was honoured with the gold medal for her offspring performance. She is the dam of the licensed stallion Doncan Gravvænge (by Don Schufro).
The dam line also produced the premium stallion Lucky Me Gravvænge (by Lucky Light), the advanced-level show jumpers Quintessa Lox (by Quinton; 1.50 m jumping)/Ava Ferch and her dam Chiara ox (by Casir Ask; 1.40 m jumping)/Emilie Kuang/DEN as well as the CCI3* eventing horse Quantum Leap Lox (by Quinton)/Camilla Saeboe Hansen/DEN.
