Prestige

Prestige was approved for Dutch breeding by the KWPN on April 2, 2003. Prestige is already approved in Sweden where he was the Champion of his stallion test. In 2002, his first foal crop in Sweden proved to be fantastic foals doing well at the shows with good characters and temperament. He crosses well with lighter mares that need good bone. In late 2005, the sensational Edward Gal took over the training and showing of Prestige, we expect great things from this fantastic combination in the near future.

Almost 100% Holstein bred dressage Stallion, Prestige displays an amazing front end and powerful gaits. His sire, Olympic Silvano N, has been successful for years with Ellen Bontje at the highest level of the dressage sport and is the stallion that won the most medals in the Dutch, European, World Championships and Olympic Games. His son Scarlatti, was successful in the Grand Prix of Milan.

In Prestige’s sire line we find all-purpose breeding stallions such as: Goodtimes, Cor de la Bryére and Anblick xx, who also sired many good dressage horses like Lucky Times, Corlandus and Venetia. In his mare line we see Ahorn Z and Ronald, both of which always guarantee quality. Out of this Holstein line, number 456, are found many approved stallions and excellent performing horses like Rigoletto, Capo, Cabinet I, Cabinet II, Lambado, Milano and Freestyle, who won the Grand Prix in Aachen.

Prestige was Champion of the Stallion Test in Sweden at the age of three, with the following points for the basic gaits: 8, 8 and 10. He received, from the Fremdruiters, a score of 9 for gaits and a 9 for his dressage capacity. At the age of five, he received the 6th place in the finals of the Breeders Trophy and won all five qualifications. At the age of seven, he became Champion of
Z-dressage Stallion Competition.

His foals have a lot of front and size, they move uphill and with a lot of power from the hind leg with a strong canter. In Sweden, his son Avensis became 9th in the National Championship for three year old horses. This year his son Phentagon is approved by the Swedish Studbook.

Prestige has a great front and powerful gaits, these qualities are much required and desired in dressage breeding.
