Versace OHW

Absolutely stunning upper level prospect. The total package. Born May 16, 2024 Versace OHW. As mentioned, this colt is the total package. Versace is tall, correct, and has movement to DIE for. A supple, swinging shoulder, fantastic hind leg articulation and great natural sit, natural/clean changes all over the field, and enough knee and hock naturally that you'll hardly have much work to do under saddle. The cherry on top is his unflappable, super personable temperament. Versace is brave, willing, and wants to be in your pocket at all times. He shows incredible promise of being a fantastic partner and possesses the qualities that we believe make an upper level candidate. Outside of how spectacular Versace is himself, his pedigree backs him up even more. Velantis N, a 2018, 17.2 hh Hanoverian stallion by Vitalis, is an exciting new choice for North American breeders. When paying attention to the European breeding scene, you can't help but notice that Velantis' pedigree combination is highly sought after. Those horses carrying his lines show quality, ride-ability and are sold at record prices. In 2022 again Vitalis and Floriscount produced numerous top licensing candidates and sales for several European breed societies. Besides the high scores and rapid ascend to top performance, the ridability and ease in which they adapt to their environment is unequaled making these young horses fantastic for anyone to ride and own. That is what Christiane Noelting, breeder and owner of Velantis had in mind when combining these genetics which started with the importation of Velantis' impressive Dam “Fleur D'Amour” Highlights 2024 FEI Young Horse 6yo Test with 91.8% 2023 USDF Region 7 First Level Champion Open Division with 75.9% 2023 CDS Champion First Level - Open Division with 75% 2023 Show Season 87.7% at 5yo-Test 2023 qualified for the Festival of Champions top-6 in the nation 2022 Licensed and Tested for Hanoverian US 2022 USDF Region 7 Training Level Champion - Open Division with 77.24% 2022​ CDS Champion Training Level - Open Division with 78.79% Chickboxer, Versace's dam, is of top quality also. She has produced nothing short of fantastic foals, with each and every one being an incredible athlete. Chickboxer brings and incredible topline, great hind leg, and great work ethic to this mix. She moves with great swing and great gait clarity, which she has passed along to sweet Versace. Chickboxer stands 16.2hh with moderate bone, a perfect blend between modern and old sport. Her sire, Ice Box, has produced many offspring successful in sport, with many going up the levels of eventing and entering FEI levels with their riders. I expect Versace to mature 17hh or larger with lovely modern type, long legs, and excellent ride-ability. I am absolutely over the moon with this cross and do plan to repeat it again in the future, but look forward to seeing Versace excel in sport. He is inspected, branded, microchipped, and pass-ported Westfalen NA. He receives routine handling, care, and farrier work. Don't miss out on this one.
