Under Kristine Moller, the elegant stallion qualified for the Bundeschampionate in 2011 but did not compete there. He made the transition to S-level at age 7 in 2012. They competed internationally at the 2012 CDI's in Donaueschingen, Munich and Perl and returned to the 2013 CDI Donaueschingen. The horse's last show was a national show in Nurnberg in November 2013.
"He unfortunately got injured when I had a long, 3-month break from horses because I had an accident with another horse of mine, so I could not ride him (then). After that I never got to ride him again," Moller told Eurodressage. "So now we decided to give him a chance as a breeding stallion. He is such a lovely horse with a super rideability and willingness to work. I simply love this horse."
Blanc Pain has now been approved for breeding for the German Trakehner society and will stand at stud at station Wust, a branch of the Brandenburg State stud.
