New son of Don Frederico x Matcho now available to breeders

Delacroix impresses with his wonderful bloodlines of top stallions and testing winners. His sire, Don Frederico, the elegant and impressive 17.1 hand black Donnerhall son became Champion of the 1999 Hanoverian Stallion Licensing. This "eye-catcher" completed his stallion performance test as runner-up with the amazing score of 151.67 points in the dressage section. He also constantly improved his qualities during test. He possesses excellent mental qualities. Don Frederico convinced by his excellent rideability and his very good basic gaits, which will impress all dressage riders. In 2005, Don Frederico was rated by the German Equestrian Federation as the second most valuable sport horse breeding stallion, based on his Breeding Value Index of 174 points, with an assurance of 89% heritability. He is a member of the Celle black horse dressage quadrille. His offspring are also demonstrating dressage excellence. In 2005 two of his offspring; one mare, one gelding, were Champion and Reserve Champion at the Bundeschampionat and most recently for the Fall 2007 Hanoveraner auction the top priced horse sold for 45,000 euros was the lovely horse "Dein Wunschtraum" by Don Frederico/Don Primero.

Delacroix's dam, SPS Mijou, is a States Premium Matcho daughter and her dam is a States Premium Argentan mare, and her grandmother a States Premium Woermann mare. This mare family has been very successful at major mare shows, and the Argentan mother was European Champion and the grandmother produced an International Dressage horse!! This mare is an overall "8" with all scores in the 8-9 range, with two "9's" for rideability. Delacroix's dam was sired by Matcho x, the "noble black" Anglo-Arab with the "magnificent presence". "As a stallion who improves the breed Matcho is one of the rare stallions who improves type and presence...". Matcho was the Stallion Performance Test Champion at his testing. Known for producing refinement and high rideability in offspring. Sire of over 30 approved stallions, 7 of which are owned by the Hanoverian State Stud in Celle, Germany. Delacroix's granddam sired by Argentan, was "1994 Hanoverian Stallion of the Year" producing 100 state's premium mares, 19 approved sons, and 500 of his offspring have competed successfully in both dressage and jumping guaranteeing Argentan a spot in the Club of Millionaires.
Delacroix has been licensed with the RPSI and will attend the 30 day test this year. We will also seek licensing/approval with the Oldenburg this Summer.
Delacroix has 3 good gaits, with his canter being a 10! He is very brave and loves Cross Country, jumping anything put in his path without hesitation. He shows good bascule and scope. Delacroix will be shown in Eventing and Dressage in 2008. His first foals have all been black, with his great disposition, brave, and very fancy with very clean conformation. Delacroix is being offered at a low intro rate for 2008 and stud fee will increase after his stallion testing. Delacroix is the first and only son of Don Frederico to stand at stud in the US. With his excellent and highly sought after bloodlines, great temperment, combined talents in both Dressage and Jumping, and his beautiful exterior he is a stallion to consider. States Premium and Elite mares offered half off the stud fee for 2008. 2 year LFG on Cooled Semen, 3 doses of frozen semen for $1000 (3 foals can be registered).
