Santa Domenica is a 2010 mare by San Amour x Fleurop x Davignon who received praise and premium status for her ridability at her Mare Performance test in Germany, high remarks for her gaits, confirmation and active hind end. Her 2016 foal by Dante Weltino was nominated for the Westfalian auction. In 2017, she had a gorgeous filly by For Romance, who received glowing reviews at her Hanoverian inspection. For 2018, we are expecting the FIRST foal on US soil from the exciting young Benicio x Sir Donnerhall stallion, Baron!
Santa’s sire, San Amour always fascinates spectators with his breath-taking trot. He is an exceptionally dynamic mover with uphill gaits and has lots of activity behind while allowing the movements to swing through his entire body while showing phenomenal talent for the collected work as well.
He fulfilled the high expectations during his 70-day performance test, which he finished with a superior dressage index. He was twice awarded a 9.5 for his excellent rideability!
His pedigree is remarkable – full of the most influential sires. His dam Puppenfee, a stunning mover, was reserve champion mare and was granted “elite” status. She is a full sister to the approved stallion Pierrot Royal. San Amour combines the traits of the champion producer Sandro Hit with the proven Oldenburg Arusa dam line. Her sire Plaisir d’Amour has won many Grand Prix, Grand Prix Special and Freestyle competitions. Figaro is known as a producer of tough and versatile performance sport horses with top rideability. As San Amour continues to impress in sport, he has also built a reputation for passing along his modern type and superior ridability, making San Amour offspring highly desired.
On the dam side, we have Fleurop, an impressive son of Florestean I, out of the world-class Furioso line. With outstanding paces and a lovely temperament, it’s easy to see why this line is treasured among amateurs and pros alike. Rounding out her impressive pedigree is grand-dam, Dream Dancing. Dream Dancing decends from the Davignon, a Grand Prix competitor, who for many years led the German breeding index and has produced over 30 licensed sons. Davignon is by the legendary Donnerhall.
This impressive pedigree explains why Santa’s foals are truly a gift to their owners. We look forward to seeing her offspring succeeding in the dressage arena over the next few years.
