SANDREO, since 2017, is ranked 19th Best Dressage Stallion Worldwide (Source: World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses - WBFSH). NRPS (Dutch Riding Horse and Pony Society) Vice-Champion at the age of 3, Winner of the KWPN Stallion finals at the ages of 4 & 5, Team Bronze Medallist at the European Championships, and 4th in the FEI World Youth Ranking in 2015, SANDREO is a proven stallion and readily used by breeders worldwide.
He is exceptionally well conformed with height and expression that he hands down to his offspring. SANDREO is a stallion with fantastic movement and is most suited to spirited mares due to his excellent temperament. At the time of the stallion-approval tests in Ermelo, his performance caused a real sensation, notably due to his supple trot and to his balanced and round canter with excellent propulsion. His progeny is well thought of and we regularly receive requests for 3 & 4-year-olds.
He is an asset for French breeding with the aim of producing excellent dressage horses and eventing horses. Many of his offspring have performed at International Grand-Prix Dressage level, as well as in 3* & 5* International eventing.
His pedigree is such that it can be used for Show-Jumping and Hunter classes.
SANDREO is homozygous for the bay colour gene. He has not been known to throw chestnuts.
Osteo-articular status: 5* (excellent). Outstanding fertility: 87% in 2019.
SANDREO is approved to sire in many Studbooks, including the French Saddle Horse [Selle Français - SF].
