DON FRANCISCO
2007 OLDENBURG
Imported from Gemany March 2009
Sired by Daddy Cool (Don Davidoff - Calido - Sandro) x SPS EL. Leandra (Lafitte - Rubinstein - Ramino). This colt's pedigree is a combination of top dressage and top jumper lines which we are seeing more often these days in the breeding of sport horses. Daddy Cool won the Oldenburg county dressage and jumper championships as a 4 yr.old. scoring high in both.
This colt is perhaps the only colt in the USA to date with the legendary mare El. Loretta in his dam line. Loretta's influence in the world of warmblood breeding is far reaching. She is the dam of Sandro Hit, Diamond Hit and Royal Hit as well as States Premium and Elite daughters. Leandra's sire is Lafitte sired by the Landgraf son Landsberg and out of Investa by the Anglo Arabian Inschallah. Lafitte has been successful in FEI dressage and show jumping in Germany.
We have high hopes for this young horse and hope that he will be an asset to the gene pool here in the USA. He was the winner of the July 11, 2009 Woodside Dressage - Breed Show High Point Award with a score of 84.
