Sezuan: Triple World Champion!!!

The 2013 Danish Warmblood Stallion Champion and the winner of Aage Ravn's trophy for best Danish-bred dressage stallion. Sezuan passed his stallion performance test in 2012 in Denmark with scores never awarded before: He was actually given the highest possible score of 10.0 ten times! In 2013 Sezuan continued his victory march and became the Danish Champion Stallion with 10.0 for his walk and canter and 9.5 for his trot. Already as a 3-year-old stallion, he won many European dressage experts' hearts with his outstanding gaits and high rideability, and as a result he became one of Europe's most popular young stallions. Following this, he went on to become the best four-year-old dressage horse in Denmark at the competition in Odense. Here he was again awarded the dream score of 10.0 for his trot, canter and willingness to perform and 8.9 for his walk. With a total of 9.68, the title was rightfully his.

Following his WC-gold win in 2015 with the dream mark of 10.0, Sezuan is now a double champion as in 2016 he won the qualifier for the WC-Final of seven-year-old dressage horses with a final score of 9.52. His rider Dorothee Schneider said of his win, "Everything was perfect. Sezuan is simply a "limelight hog", he wants to be the best, he wants to please."

From Sezuan's first crop of foals, the already highly recognized Oldenburg premium sire, Sam, and elsewhere throughout Europe his foals are setting high, new standards. One progeny, the colt Sirocco was auctioned off for a record-breaking price of 74,000 euros in 2014, and the filly Schwarze Schwalbe Macohl became the Danish Foal Champion of 2015.

In recent years, his sire Blue Hors Zack has proven his value as a breeding stallion with several approved sons and successful progeny. Blue Hors Zack's pedigree combines extremely valuable bloodlines through Rousseau, Jazz and Belisar and he himself was a Champion Stallion not only in the Netherlands but also in Denmark. In 2015 he was able to celebrate victories up to Inter I level with Daniel Bachmann Andersen of Denmark.

Sezuan's dam, Don Romina (by the world-famous Don Schufro who won OL-bronze under Andreas Helgstrand as part of the Danish national team) received the Danish Warmblood's breeder gold medal and was nominated best dressage mare of the year in 2006. Sezuan's grand dam is the bronze medal mare Laina.

Unrivalled winner of the performance test with 987.50 points, Sezuan made history when he obtained a record breaking result of 10 x 10.00, meeting the high expectations given him. As a 3-year-old stallion, he won many European dressage experts' hearts with his outstanding gaits and high rideability, and as a result he became one of Europe's most popular young stallions. In recent years, the sire Zack has proven his worth as a breeding stallion with several approved sons. Sezuan's dam, Bøgegårdens Don Romina (by the world-famous Don Schufro, who won Olympic bronze under Andreas Helgstrand as part of the Danish national team) received the Danish Warmblood's breeder medal in gold and was nominated best dressage mare of the year in 2006. The grand dam is the bronze medal mare Bøgegårdens Laina. Breeding is not a coincidence and we are looking very much forward to Sezuan's first offspring. Sezuan is approved in Danish Warmblood and acknowledged in several German breeding associations, including the Oldenburger Verband.
