Finesse SC

Beautiful very dark bay filly by Fidertanz out of a Ster mare by Metall.

Fidertanz is the celebrated 2004 NRW Champion Stallion, he dominated his 30-day test in Neustadt/Dosse a year later and then took the Vice Champion title at the Bundeschampionat in Warendorf with a score of 9.5 from the guest rider. In 2006 he was awarded the main premium for stallions with emphasis on dressage in Oldenburg in recognition of his outstanding first foal crop. In 2007, Fidertanz received a score of 8.8 in a qualifier for the Bundeschampionat and thus fulfilled the performance requirements for licensing. He meanwhile collects ribbons in dressage up to St. Georges. 

His offspring are highly coveted and bring top prices – proved by high priced foals in Verden, Vechta, Münster-Handorf and in Switzerland. In 2008 a Fidertanz colt bred by Elisabeth Albers in Löningen won the German Foal Championships in Lienen.

Six of Fidertanz' sons from his first crop were licensed, including the NRW Champion Stallion Flanagan, who later participated in the Bundeschampionat. The number of licensed sons has meanwhile increased to 16. Among these was a price highlight at the Stallion Market in Verden named Feuerspiel who came with a price tag of 220,000 Euros and a son named Fürstentanz who took sixth place at the 2010 Bundeschampionat. 

Fidertanz' daughters are of no less significance, for example the Oldenburg Champion Mare, Fifty-Fifty, who had already taken the Champion Filly title at the German Foal Championships in Lienen and has now been sold to the Rothenberg dressage stables for further training. Florencia became the ZfdP Champion Mare, Fider's Tanzmarie was the 2nd Reserve Champion Mare in Münster-Handorf. 70 offspring  just from his first two crops are now winning ribbons in tests for young riding horses and dressage horses which, according to the FN's predicted breeding value statistics, catapulted their sire to a top place among the best sires in Germany for rideability.

Fidertanz is by Fidermark I, the winner of his stallion performance test, Bundeschampion  and Grand Prix winner who left the breeding stage early. His dam, granddam and great granddam from the performance line of Astfläche all received a State Premium.

2008 Five stallions from Fidertanz' first crop were licensed, including the Champion Stallion of the North Rhine Westphalia licensing.

 

Tiara is by the stallion Metall whose offspring inherit his stunning conformation, and a high degree of quality and refinement. They are built very uphill and have beautiful heads. Their movements show great finesse with much power in the hind legs, lots of elevation in the front legs, and they have supple backs.  Her maternal Grandfather is Balzflug who is bred out of the best performance bloodlines in the Trakehner Studbook. His sire Habicht is noted as one of the most influential sires of excellent dressage ability, having produced many nationally ranked top mares and several approved stallions including Olympic Cocktail.   Having bred three super foals Tiara has now changed career and despite her late start is training successfully with Andrew Gould.
