Highly modern, long-legged son of the World Champion of five and six years old dressage horses, Florencio, who meanwhile wins tests in Inter I dressage. The Donnerhall daughter Arkona is also the dam of a premium stallion named Sandakan by Sandro Hit, licensed in Münster/Handorf and stationed at the Swedish Main Stud Flyinge, several Oldenburg premium mares and Floriscount's full brother, Florimax who was the most expensive foal at the 2007 Vechta Foal Auction, selling for 45,000 Euros. The granddam Arwaldis by Walldorf was the 1991 Reserve Champion Mare in Oldenburg.
Floriscount did an excellent job at his 70-day test in Schlickau winning the dressage index by a mile with a score of 147,49 and finishing second overall with a final score of 128,80. He was awarded a 10.0 for rideability by both guest riders! He was also given a 10.0 and a 9.5 for his canter and a 9.0 for his trot. Even the 8.38 he received for his walk was far over average.
Floriscount was a very popluar stallion in 2009, unusually so for a first year sire, and the first foals born in Germany are being well received by breeders. Floriscount himself, is now being trained by his breeder with the hope to qualify and compete in the Bundeschampionate 2010.
Floriscount's pedigree has been highly refined with Thoroughbred through the Holstein stallion Tin Rocco who is by the Thoroughbred Tin Rod xx and the Thoroughbred Vollkorn xx.
This horse is a real charmer, amazingly uphill in every pace, with correct use of the hind leg in all paces. A sure winner like his father.
