Exceptional Dressage or Jumping Prospect

Bay yearling gelding to make 16.2-17hh. By the legendary Franziskus out of a mare by Universeel x Zeoliet. Born in Ireland and registered with HSI so eligible for all age classes down the line. He has an amazing naturally uphill conformation with three excellent paces: a perfect walk, a dynamic trot and a fantastic uphill canter. Well handled. Bred primarily for dressage with some jumping lines thrown in on the dam side. He is extremely athletic and brave and will go far in what ever sphere you choose. A little about his pedigree: His sire, Franziskus’ success record is packed! He was called up to the Olympic squad in 2019 and secured 4th place in the German Championships in the Grand Prix dressage freestyle. In 2022 he won the bronze medal in the team at the World Championships in Herning and became World Cup stage winner in Stuttgart. In 2023 he wins the bronze medal in the World Cup stage in Amsterdam. Dam sire Universeel competed at Inter II and is by the legendary keur stallion, Olivi. Olivi has an incredibly proven record as a sire making him a top contender for dressage breeders. Olivi’s offspring have earned him the incredibly high Dressage Index of 175 and he has been previously ranked number 2 on the KWPN Sire Rankings and 18th on the WBFSH Dressage Sires list.  He has sired many Keur/Elite daughters, two approved sons, and is the damsire for additional licensed stallions. His offspring are consistent winners from the Young Horse classes to Grand Prix in both Europe and the US. We also have the legends Zeoliet on the famine who has 2 approved sons from his first breeding season, Elcaro and Eusebio. The dark bay was especially gifted as show jumping sire, siring several Grand Prix show jumpers like Escudo, Supercruise, Jumbo and Elando. Nevertheless, he also produced a large lot of top level dressage horses of which Dotato, Neoliet, Leoliet and Favoriet.
