Nikkita Fireblade Strikes Gold at 2024 British Breeding Futurity
The AES stallion Snowfire St. Angelo (All Inclusive x Munchhausen x Michelangelo) is establishing himself as a versatile and promising sire. At the 2024 British Breeding Futurity, Nikkita Fireblade , a British-born Trakehner colt, earned a prestigious Gold Premium award. This colt, sired by Snowfire St. Angelo and out of Trakehner mare Keatinge Firefly (Elfenstein x Tycoon-Latimer), scored 8.275 points, receiving high praise for his movement, balance, and type. His exceptional vet score of 8.75 and 9 highlights his potential as a future stallion.
Snowfire St. Angelo, approved by the Anglo-European Studbook and 2022 LEWB Champion, is known for his outstanding dressage performance and ability to enhance dressage and eventing lines. His offspring, such as Sonata di Luna, have also proven themselves at international levels.
Snowfire's pedigree is uniquely stamped on top and bottom with a consolidation of exceptional stallions of the Trakehner breed: Gribaldi, Buddenbrock, Sixtus, Münchhausen, Michelangelo, Valerian, Habicht, Totilas as well as elite and state premium mares , and his character and performance make him highly sought after for both dressage and eventing. Despite an injury, he passed his 50-day performance test in 2023 with top marks and is now being developed further by his co-owner and rider Melanie Anne Schwabe, under the expert coaching of FEI Grand Prix trainer Guillaume Ducos. His frozen semen is available to breeders across Europe and the UK.
