The Oldenburg web site has this write-up:
[I]One of the most exciting events there for breeders and sport horse enthusiasts alike is the finals of the 3 year old stallions and the 4 year old stallions. This year, it was the Oldenburg Verband that presented the champions of both!
The finals for the 3 year old Stallions was a battle of the State Champions. The second group of finalists were the State Champions from Oldenburg, Hanover, and Westphalia, one of which was a son of Sandro Hit, and the other two, sons of Sir Donnerhall. The judges commented on how incredibly high the quality of this group was. In the end it was the breathtakingly beautiful son of Sandro Hit, San Doncisco, ridden by Kira Wulferding who prevailed with incredible scores including a perfect 10 for her canter!
The judges commented that the canter was “elastic with a consistent and steady rhythm with a huge jump from behind in the stride, especially in the lengthened canter. We could not imagine better.” The stallion also earned a 9.5 for his trot, 8.5 for the walk, 8.5 conformation, 9.5 for his level of training, and 9.5 for his overall impression resulting in an astounding overall score of 9.17! The judges were really impressed with how confident and secure the horse was in himself. The(y) noted how relaxed, rhythmical and steady he was throughout the entire test. The two guest riders also agreed giving him by far the highest rideability score of 19 (out of a possible 20!).
San Doncisco’s dam, St.Pr.St. De Luxe M is sired by the legendary Donnerhall and is out of the mare Rosenfee (Rohdiamant x Fauna (Grundstein I)) who is also the dam of the approved Grand Prix stallion Sancisco (Sandro Hit). Sancisco has been winning at Grand Prix at a very young age with scores above 71% in Germany. So considering San Doncisco’s obvious talent along with this proven blood line, the bidding for him in the upcoming Oldenburg Elite Auction on October 1st and 2nd will be thrilling to see![/I]
