For Romance II

Information

About - For Romance II was a very special debutant for 2016, and we are pleased to be offering him again for 2017. Much like his siblings, his three gaits are powerfully transmitted, a cadenced walk with diligence and ground cover, a trot with enormous elastic force, actively repeated from the hindquarters with a lot of freedom of the shoulders, and an uphill canter at each stage covering a lot of ground. All five stallions of the first generations - Fürst Romancier, Sir Donnerhall, Don Schufro, Sandro and Gepard - belonged to the Schockemöhle Breeding Station.

Performance - He was premium stallion of the 2015 Oldenburg licensing in Vechta, on the brink of perfection in type and model; this is what a modern dressage horse looks like! He has been a crowd favourite of the 2017 Spring Stallion Shows and will start his competitive career this season.

Sire - Fürst Romancier took fourth place at the World Championships for young dressage horses as well as at the National Championships, and received the Hauptprämie award from the Oldenburg Verband for the best first crop of foals. He is by the influential Fürst Heinrich, sire of double World Young Horse Champion Woodlander Farouche, out of a mare by Romancier, who competed to Inter I himself and is from the mare line of Ahlerich.

Damline - The damsire, Sir Donnerhall I, gained trademark status early on in his career. He was State Champion, the record-breaking winner of his stallion performance test, Vice World Champion of young dressage horses and Bundeschampion as well as the Hauptprämie winner. More than 50 of his sons have been licensed. In 2010, three of his progeny took Vice Bundeschampion titles in Warendorf; Silbermond - the NRW Champion Stallion, Appassionata, and the licensed Snap Shot. He has also sired numerous top auction horses.

For Romance's dam Gesina is in a league of her own. In addition to For Romance I and his full sister Fasine, she has also produced their full brother, premium stallion For Romance II, another premium stallion, Feinrich (by Fürst Heinrich), and the British national novice champion Best Of All (by Bordeaux). Few mares are so successful and For Romance represents one of the most proven families in modern sport horse breeding.

Progeny - For Romance II's first offspring will arrive in 2017.
