Spellbound is awarded the foal Premium by the Oldenburg Verband |
Sire - Revolution
With a winning bid of €1.2 million, Revolution broke the record for all German stallion auctions at the Hanoverian licensing in Verden in the autumn of 2015. The sold-out Niedersachsenhalle celebrated the "Million-Dollar-Baby" with a standing ovation. High-set, elegant and with three fantastic basic gaits and a wonderful temperament, he is an ideal modern sports horse.
He was awarded a premium at the Hanoverian and DWB licensing's and won his 30-fay performance test in 2016. He is a young stallion, only a four-year-old in 2017, but has looked spectacular at the Spring stallion shows and we will eagerly await his debut in competition.
Revolution's sire, the premium stallion Rocky Lee, is proving himself in his breeding career with winning offspring. Rocky Lee by the top stallion Rock Forever, who is already an established name in international horse breeding owing to top quality progeny. Rock Forever, granted the NRW suffix by the German Federation, competed at grand prix himself before retiring to stud. He descends from the jumping lines of Ramiro Z and Landgraf I, adding strength and athleticism into Revolution's pedigree.
His dam Rochelle is by the powerful Holsteiner sire Rouetto, who is known for his cross over ability in breeding, producing top dressage horses as well as jumpers. The dam sire of Rochelle is the Hanoverian Wendenburg (1975) who was a good producing stallion, being by venerable Wendekreis. Revolution is his dam Rochelle's first foal. With her thoroughbred maternal bloodline mixed with well-reputed Hanoverian blood through the stallions Wendenburg and Derneburg, she meets all pedigree criteria for a modern dam of stallions.
Dam Elite & St.Pr.St Show Hit
Show Hit is a truly sensational mare. She is a State Premium and Elite mare and is mother of Oldenburg and BWBS Licensed Stallion Larkshill Debonair who was also Badminton Young Horse Champion, following in the footsteps of previous winners Valegro and Woodlander Farouche. She comes from three generations of State Premium mares. Show Hit was awarded her State Premium title at the prestigious Elite mare show in Münster-Handorf where she competed against 80 mares selected from throughout Germany. She was awarded outstanding marks for her conformation, movement and type. In 2014 she was awarded Elite Status by the Oldenburg Verband on the basis of her exceptional offspring.
In 2008 Carl Hester named Show Hit the 2008 Reserve Champion Dressage Broodmare at the BEF Elite Championship Show. 5 of her Oldenburg foals have all been awarded the coveted Oldenburg Foal Premium. Her first foal Larkshill Riaza was graded with a Verband Premium with the Westfalian Verband. Her daughter Larkshill Supremacy was BEF Elite and Champion Foal and Oldenburg Premium graded as a 3 year old. Show Hit was one of only 100 mares worldwide to be approved to be bred to the Dressage sensation Moorlands Totilas.
Show Hit is from one of the oldest and most successful dam lines in Westfalian breeding. From this mother line came the great stallions Grunhorn I, II and III and more recently, from her grand dam St.Pr.St. Fontaene came the very successful Sattelkorung winner, the Riccione son, Rittmeister. With a strong and convincing dam line of her own through Potsdam and Faschingsprinz the mother brings the best of old and new. Her sire Show Star is a Premium Stallion, he became vice Champion riding horse at the Oldenburg State Championships in Rastede as a 3 year old. He went on to be the Champion at the German Federal Bundeschampionate as a 3 year old scoring two times a 10 from the test riders & Vice Champion as a 4 year old. Sandro Hit of course needs no introduction - he is already writing sporting and breeding history!
