Direct sons of the great Belissimo are always popular with the discerning buyer, and we know that this expressive striking colt bred by Maddy Gardner of Fisher Hill Stud will be no exception. He recently gained an Elite score at his Futurity rating, awarded by an international panel of judges from the UK, Holland and Belgium, with straight 9s from his veterinary assessment and dream marks of 9.25 for his trot and canter. The mother is the half sister of the approved stallion FHS Diamond in the Rough and competing successfully at PSG. She is graded 4**** with the AES in recognition of her type and performance record. She comes from a thoroughbred motherline with proven Trakehner dressage breeding in Le Duc on top, thus offering a highly valuable blood injection that presents a good match with Belissimo who has established himself as a highly reliable progenitor of performance and type with over 40 licensed sons and of course his famous daughter Bella Rose who is back under the saddle with Isabel Werth. A very striking colt with bags of presence and movement, this is an excellent opportunity for the serious dressage buyer. Please note that this foal is an Embryo Transfer and will be shown on the recip mare.
