Belissima SC

Belissima is a spectacular chestnut filly by Breitling W out of our gorgeous mare Delightful, she is a full sibling to Barossa and Blissful and we hope that she will mature as nicely as they are doing.  Photos are coming soon!

Breitling has been in the top 3 of the German breeding index  for the last 4 years and is known for producing quality yet trainable offspring who include several licensed sons such as Berkeley, Benvenuto, Bertoli, Brioni and our own Baron de Ley as well as hugely successful competition horses such as Balderassini, Biagotti and Blind Date.  Breitling is a competition stallion who has nothing left  to prove, having won international Grand Prix classes and Nations Cups, taken first prize in 22 advanced level dressage classes, secured a bronze medal at the German Championship and accumulated over EUR 130,000 in prize money in the dressage arena. His achievements with longstanding rider, Wolfram Wittig, extend right up to the World Cup Tour.  His ability to produce excellent offspring can only be described as phenomenal. Although he has only been used to a limited extent for breeding purposes, meaning that he has relatively few offspring, there are 13 advanced level dressage horses among his first progeny which have collectively won over EUR 72,000 in prize money. Blind Date was the World Championship of Young Dressage Horses favourite in 2007, but she unfortunately suffered an injury shortly before she was due to enter the ring. In 2009, she was back on form when she won the Small Tour at the CHIO Aachen and the Nuremberg Burgpokal final. Biagotti W was a bronze medallist at the World Championship in Verden in 2006 and also qualified for the Burgpokal in 2009. Baldessarini W has won seven advanced dressage classes and competed successfully in international Grand Prix classes, Berkeley W is a successful Grand Prix horse, Meggles Black Jack has won at Grand Prix level, approved stallion Bertoli W was highly placed in St. Georges classes as a seven year-old and Brioni W won an Intermediaire I class as an eight year-old. Barilla W, Bichachu, Balalaika W are also all successful advanced level competition horses. Numerous Breitling progeny have qualified for Bundeschampionat and World Championship finals  Bismarck, an advanced level dressage horse, has a pedigree that goes back to top dressage horse producer, Bolero, whose bloodline recently experienced a renaissance when Belissimo M won the Bundeschampionat. Breitling's dam's full sister produced the successful Grand Prix horse Burlington/Alexandra Simons-de Ridder by Bismarck. Breitling's full sister, Biagotti W, has also competed successfully up to Grand Prix level. Breitling's pedigree includes successful and proven Hanoverian performance genes.

Delightful, a beautiful liver chestnut mare who more than lives up to her name. She has impeccable bloodlines and is the producer of truly breath taking foals. Delightful is a modern type with a super hind leg and expressive paces. She has a kind easy going temperament and has proved to be a wonderful mother.  Delightful is by Dimaggio, the 2000 World Champion of five year old dressage horses, and one of the most successful stallions standing today in the UK. He is a noble, modern Hanoverian with three outstanding basic paces. He has a phenomenal trot with very strong and balanced engagement, his canter is ground covering and uphill and his walk shows well lengthening strides. Dimaggio is descended from 9 Grand Prix stallions including his sire, Don Primero, who was the 1990 Bundeschampion of German dressage horses and highly successful in international Grand Prix. The dam's sire, World Cup I, won his performance test, was the DLG Reserve Champion Stallion twice, received the "Hanoverian Stallion of the Year" award and sired numerous successful dressage horses. Dimaggio is known for producing talented, modern types who include licensed sons, sale toppers and competition winners.  Delightful’s mother is by the 2008 Hanoverian Stallion of the Year De Niro referred to as "the embodiment of the Hanoverian stallion, De Niro is the heir apparent to Donnerhall, and his grand dam sire Akzent II.  De Niro is an exceptional stallion of superlative type and performance. He is a wonderful combination of the best Trakehner bloodlines, with a dash of Thoroughbred, ensuring his success as a sire of noble riding horses including over 60 licensed sons. Delightful’s grandmother Andona is a full sister to the legendary Rubinstein who was himself a double world champion, fourfold European champion and sired over 60 licensed sons. Former federal trainer of the German dressage elite, Johann Kinnemann, said of him, ". . when we consider a stallion of the century, we refer to Rubinstein." Andona’s dam Antine is the full-sister of Amon and Ahlerich as well as the mare Adone, who together with Romadour II gave birth to Rembrandt. What's more, Romadour II is the grandsire of Rubinstein with his gold plated pedigree. And what a pedigree it is!
