First Dance was the hit of the Hanoverian stallion
licensing 2006 with his remarkable movement and dressage
potential. Currently under saddle with Inga Von Helldorff
he is surpassing our expectations as to his quality
and performance. His exciting bloodlines should be
of great interest to Hanoverian breeders everywhere.
First
Dance was bought at the stallion licensing in Verden
Germany by Leatherdale Farms. He will stay at
Hengststation Jens Meyer in Dorum Germany and will
join our other stallions His Highness, Damsey, Herzensdieb
and Rob Roy. He and Rob Roy will be offered with
frozen semen in the US and Canada in 2008 after completing
their testing or qualification process.
First Dance was enthusiastically received at the 2006
Hanoverian licensing because of his perfectly cadenced
rhythm and hindquarter powered movements that flow
through his whole body, characteristics that made him
one of the hottest offers at the following stallion
market.
 His sire, Florestan I, has long since earned the reputation
of a trademark stallion with his more than 70 licensed
sons, including the dressage horse World Champions,
Florencio I and French Kiss, more than 170 State Premium
mares and countless sport horses such as Floriano/Stefan
Peters/USA, the dressage team bronze metal winner at
the WEG 2006 in Aachen.
First Dance is the first foal out of SPS Dorina, a
mare who took the 1A prize each year from 2003 to 2006
at the show in Aurich-Tannenhausen. The dam's sire,
Donnerhall, stands for the successful symbol of breeding
and sport.
A double World Champion in dressage twice under Kain
Rehbein, he left more than 100 licensed sons behind.
By the end of 2006, his offspring in sport had won
more than 1.5 million euro.
The granddam SPS Andi, produced the auction horses
Wonderfull (by Wanderbursch II), a State Premium candidate,
Wokentanzerin (by Wolkentanz) as well as her full sister,
Wina, who was also a States Premium candidate, and
SPS Rubina (bt Rubinstein). In the third generation
you will find the valuable Thoroughbred stallion Aarking,
a very sucessful race horse from the age of two to
seven with a German form of 82.5 kilos. Four of his
sons were licensed. The Aarking son arcatenango placed
at the 1993 Bundeschampionat final in Manheim and was
then sold for 90,000 € at the Hanoverian Elite Auction.
Amonassro was sold in 1998 for 110,000 € at the PSI
Auction. His son, Andretti H under Hubertus Schmidt
as well as under Holga Finken, won Grand prix, including
the
Grande
Prix of Bremen.
