Blue Hors Stud, one of Denmark's premier stallion stations and dressage training centers, has tightened its alliance with several German stations for the 2022 breeding session to cater the growing need for semen distribution and top service.
"To benefit the German breeders, we’ve decided to station a large number of our stallions in Germany," Blue Hors told Eurodressage. "For these Blue Hors stallions abroad a changed proces of ordering semen is in place. Our breeding advisors are still ready for any questions and consultation, via our website, by phone, or email."
Exciting Breeding Season Ahead
With the coronavirus in retreat, Blue Hors looks forward to the opportunity to physically reunite with its breeders.
"It has been a long time coming to be allowed to show you our, new as old, breeding stallions, and with the prospect of better times, we are already in full swing planning stallion shows and competitions," said Blue Hors breeding director Martin Klavsen. "We are entering an exciting time, where several new stallions have arrived, and we expect a fantastic 2022 season with our breeders "
New Stallions, New Alliances in Germany
With an exciting collection of stallions standing at stud in 2022, Blue Hors welcomes several new additions to its roster
Our in-demand, popular gold medal and Main Premium champion stallion, Blue Hors Zackerey (by Blue Hors Zack - Sandro Hit - Solos Carex, breeder: Tove & Ove Nørgaard), will be stationed at Dressurleistungszentrum Lodbergen, where he will continue his dressage training under Swedish Olympian Therese Nilshagen.
Winner of Dressage Festival Marbach's 3-year-old championship, Blue Hors Florent (by Floriscount - Desperados - Wolkentanz I, breeder: ZG Pudenz & Frühling), will be stationed to Landgestüt Marbach for another season, while Blue Hors Santiano (Sezuan - Blue Hors Romanov - Blue Hors Don Schufro, breeder: Straight Horse) continues his stay in the Netherlands at Hengstenstation Van Uytert.
Zack, Blue Hors' Flagship Stallion
The flagship and Olympic stallion, Blue Hors Zack (by Rousseau - Jazz - Belisar, breeder: B. Wilschut, will stay at home at Blue Hors and will be joined by the newly acquired Blue Hors Baron (by Benicio - Sir Donnerhall I - Friedenfürst, breeder: Albrecht Middelkampf), who has already proven his worth with licensed sons.
St. Schufro's offspring have continued to shine with their high rideability, as they have achieved medals at the Danish Elite Show, a gold medal at the Danish Young Horse Championship for 6-year-old horses and approved stallions in Germany. Farrell is winning in the sport with several international victories at small tour level, while his offspring have been successful in the Bundeschampionate in Germany.
Don Olymbrio and Nanna Skodborg Merrald won their debut in Grand Prix and Grand Prix Special - and his son, Blue Hors Touch of Olympic L, got silver at the World Young Horse Championships for 7-year-olds.
"The stallion-stable at Blue Hors is therefore full of exciting, high-performance stallions that are ready to serve you and your mares," said Klavsen.

The shipping days for chilled semen are every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. If you want semen on the weekend, it must be ordered on Friday before 09h00. Semen can also be ordered online
