Florett As is deemed a guardian of the valuable Florestan bloodline. After he was licensed in 1999 in Münster-Handorf, he took his stallion performance test in 2000 at the same venue, finishing with the highest score for rideability and third overall. He soon added bronze at the National Championships in the class for 3-year old stallions. After he relocated to the Netherlands, he went on to place in advanced (S) level dressage. After returning to Germany in2007, he continued, adding first places in World Cup Freestyles and silver in the 2012 Saarland Championships.
Among his most outstanding offspring, most of which were born in the Netherlands, are Verdades the Olympic team bronze winner and fourth individually, World Championship individual and team silver winner, three-time World Cup runner-up, US-American Champion and “Horse of the Year” under his rider Laura Graves, and the other successful Grand Prix horses, Verdi de la Fazenda, Zonnenkoning, Chi La Rou and Wild Dancer. Equirelle W took eighth place in the WC Final for young dressage horse in the class for seven-year olds in Ermelo/NED and is now placed in the international small tour. Also successful in the small tour are Favourite Floyd and Borett. Three of Florett As‘ sons were licensed, including a successful advanced (S) level show jumper named Floretts Boefke.
His sire, Florestan I, was among the world’s top ten sires for rideability according to the WBFSH Ranking.
His dam Unforgettable, a daughter of the riding horse National Champion Urofino, and a winner in medium (M) level tests for young riding horses herself, was bred several sport offsprings. Goldlack and Pilatus follow in the third and fourth generations, two well-proved sires.
Florett As has sadly passed away at the age of 20 December 2017
