Handsome Black Warmblood Gelding

Honeste Vivere, a 2.5 year old dressage bred gelding with a solid pedigree will be sure to turn heads in the show ring with his correct conformation, his fluid movement, black colouring, masculine head, neck ands strong, compact body. Handled every day since birth, ‘Casper’ has developed a bold personality and a curious nature; he’s easy to work with and is very trusting. He’s amazingly balanced and uphill in all gaits and is showing beautiful elasticity, balance and suspension. With 24/7 turnout with lots of hills to run, he’s muscling up, is sure footed , athletic and carries himself with presence. He is going to be a big boy when he finishes growing and it is evident that he has a great deal of raw talent. Casper is curious, friendly and loves attention. Casper has top international Grand Prix competitors on both sides of his pedigree! With his super gaits, powerful trot and canter this colt has strongly been stamped by his sire, the late Blue Hors Hotline (Hofrat/De Niro/Wendepunkt.)Hotline won both his Hanoverian licensing in 2005 and his 70 day performance test scoring a 10 from both test riders. With a dressage index over 149.28 he went on to a very successful career in international Grand Prix dressage earning spots repeatedly on the danish national team. In 2016 Hotline was named danish stallion of the year and in 2018 he achieved the honour of being named 20th on the WBFSH ranking list for dressage stallions world wide! He was truly an exceptional sire. Casper is out of Fabricati Diem, a gorgeous black, sweet and mild mannered mare sired by the Premium Black Westfalen dressage stallion, Freestyle. She successfully passed on all her good traits and amazing qualities to her offspring. Casper is registered with the C.W.H.A. He’s halter broken, ties, enjoy bathes and has beautiful, solid feet.
