"Floriscount" – The new Star.

"Floriscount", by "Florencio" - "Donnerhall" - "Walldorf" - "Tin Rocco" - "Vollkorn xx",  dark chestnut born 2005, in the same style like his grandfather "Donnerhall". He was the winner of the dressage index by a mile at his 70 day performance test at Schlickau 2008 (147,49 points!) and was second over all.

"Floriscount", focus on dressage breeding, because nobility oblige! He filled the judges, test riders and audience with enthusiasm with his presence, his fantastic gaits and rideability. Therefore he received two times a 10,0 from both testriders! For the canter the judges again gave the highest score available: 10,0!, for his great trot a 9 and his walk was still a 8,38, everything far over average. This highly modern and long legged stallion connects a wonderful shape with lots of presence, high rideability and super character.

"Floriscount's" dam Elitemare "Arkona" by "Donnerhall" now seems to create a new stallion line. From six colts so far three are licensed until today!  Beside him, there is the former premium stallion at Münster/Westf. "Sandakan" by "Sandro Hit", who already produced outstanding offsprings at the Swedish Main Stud "Flyinge" and in 2009 the fullbrother "Floriscount II" became licensed and received the premium award at the Mecklenburg stallion days at Redefin.

"Floriscount" was one of the most popular young stallions in his first breeding season 2009 for Hannover and Oldenburg right from the beginning. He developed excellent and becomes more and more maxculine. In spite of just very few show starts he won young dressage horse classes by a mile in 2009.
 
In 2010 he started with a incredible good show at the Celle State Stud show at Verden and at the Böckmann stallion show at Vechta. His first foals on the ground caused lots of very positive rumour and many breeders tried to purchase "their" Floriscount right away. Then we had a very successful "open house day" on April 24th 2010 where we showed more than 25 from his first foals to more than 1.800 visitors and interested breeders. The judges Uwe Heckmann, Hans heinrich Brüning and Jens Meyer were impressed by the quality and type of his offsprings and selected four foals right away for the Oldenburg and Hannoverian Elite auctions. You can see some pictures on the left!

The highest priced foal at the Vechta Elite foal auction in June was by Floriscount - Dormello for 25.000 Euro, sold to Totilas rider Matthias Rath and Mrs Linssenhoff. Auction foals and show winners all over the country made him more famous and so he had the second biggest crop of foals in the Verden Elite auction in August.

While carefully and slowly trained he had a few very good placings in the five year old shows and qualified finally for the "Bundeschampionate at Warendorf" in 2010. Because of his incredible breeding season we did not go to the final in September. Since October 2010 Grand Prix trainer and rider Markus Gribbe continues his training. We both work together here at Gut Füchtel. His progress is unbelieveable.

"Floriscount" was in a first time, but very successful cooperation managed through the wellknown "Böckmann stud" at Lastrup and through the "Lower Saxony State Stud" at Celle since 2009. This "fertile cooperation" went forward in 2010 and of course we continue with chilled and frozen semen in 2011 too! In the US you can get him exclusive by Judy Yancey from "Yancey Farms".
