Fabriano, dark bay Hanoverian Stallion by (Wendulan / Agmara [Azur]) born in 1987, standing approximately 16.1 hands.

Fabriano is a versatile stallion that has the charm and good looks of his Absatz heritage with a good wither and croup. His movements are rhythmical and flowing with excellent engagement of the hind quarters, a very free shoulder and an uncomplicated mind. Fabriano's daughters showed excellent scores in all categories of the Hanoverian Mare Performance Test. His performance offspring have also performed well in both dressage and jumping giving Fabriano excellent breeding scores in all areas. Dr. Wilkins, former managing director of the German Hannoveraner Verband called Fabriano "one of the best performance horse producers of Hannover's breeding program today" (The Hanoverian December 1999). Fabriano was Champion of his Stallion Performance Test placing first in the jumping portion and fourth in the dressage portion.
