For Dior

An outstanding first crop of foals impressed with their long-legged, elastic, and elegant conformations, as well as above-average gaits. Numerous champion and premium foals from the various breeding associations exceeded our expectations.

Dior didn't disappoint in sports either; he presented himself with great confidence, powerful movements, and an immediate victory. His development makes us look forward to his future with great anticipation.

During his 50-day trial period in Adelheidsdorf, he achieved a top-quarter placing with excellent marks for his basic gaits. His rideability, willingness to perform, and temperament were each rated 8.5. He completed his first competition with confidence, and we are excited to see what his sporting future holds. 

At his licensing, he presented himself as a young stallion of exceptionally beautiful conformation. His type and presence are already nearly ideal, and he is among the top stallions of his year, particularly in his basic gaits. Dior impresses with his loose, springy movements, his spectacular trot and canter mechanics, complemented by a ground-covering walk. This stallion captivates with his powerful impulsion and consistent uphill movement, and has already garnered him numerous admirers both at home and abroad.

Fürst Dior comes from the dam line of Leontiene. His sire, Fürstenball by Fürst Heinrich, guarantees offspring of the highest quality. The dam line includes the stallions Dream Rubin, Self Control, and Nairobi. In the fifth generation, we find Welt As, the sire of Olympic champion Bonfire. Fürst Dior himself was very successful in Medium level dressage under John Thijssen (NED). 

Sire Johnson, trained by Hans Peter Minderhoud (NED), worked his way to the absolute top of the dressage world. The son of Jazz finished eighth in the individual competition at the Rio Olympic Games, won team gold at the 2012 European Championships in Aachen, and secured individual bronze.

In the third generation of the legendary multiple world champion and gold medalist Totilas, the coveted performance blood of Gribaldi v. Kostolany can be found in his pedigree.

Grandmother Galilas Domino, who herself was successful in M** dressage, comes from a successful dam line with offspring up to S-class, including Bernardau under Stephanie Beek NED in the Grand Prix Special or Uniek v. Orame under Caroline Adams, USA, Prix St. Georges.
