The KWPN licensing champion Ampere became the most popular breeding stallion of the 2013 breeding year in Sweden. The Rousseau x Flemmingh is leading the breeding statistics as most used dressage stallion.
Ampere covered 94 mares in Sweden, which is the second highest number of coverings for the country. The leader of the breedings is the jumper stallion Armani Code (by Armitage x Landfriese II), which covered 99 mares.
The second most used breeding stallion in Sweden is the Swedish owned and Denmark based Oldenburg reserve licensing champion Floricello (by Florencio x Dormello) which finished in silver medal position at this year's World Young Horse Championships in Verden. The liver chestnut stallion covered 65 mares. The older, black Oldenburg stallion Sir Oldenburg (by Sion x Contender) is number three with 59 mares.
The highest "scoring" Swedish bred stallion is Dalwhinnie with 51 mares (5th most used stallion). The KWPN licensed stallion Bretton Woods (by Johnson x De Niro), which surprisingly became approved for breeding for the Swedish Warmblood Society despite its OCD C-class status, covered 26 mares.
