Premium Stallion 2011
A good-sized "newcomer" from the best Holstein lines with an especially athletic look and exceptional elasticity. The highly attractive French Fashion was awarded a coveted premium at the Holstein licensing in 2011 and stole the hearts of the spectators in Neumünster because of his sunny boy nature. His trademark signs are a trot that has a light-footed and elastic sequence and a canter with an uphill tendency. And he's richly blessed with talents at the jump: An ideal technique, fast reflexes and awesome ability.
His sire For Fashion also wins ribbons in show jumping. His pedigree is a combination of stallions of the century: For Pleasure, Contender, Landgraf I and Capitol I. His dam Hiske produced several horses that were successful in advanced (S) level show jumping. Her sire Corleone bred for many years in Holstein and in the Netherlands and sired nine licensed sons and many daughters that became the dams of licensed stallions. For many years, the great grandsire Gonzales was the most successful breeding stallion in show jumping in Germany and was ridden by Peter Weinberg as well as Hugo Simon. In the fourth generation you find Calypso II a second time, an epoch-making stallion especially in Hanoverian breeding. French Fashion is a member of Holstein line 1463.
A new "F line" era can begin!
