The Swedish warmblood bred and licensed stallion Skyline to B has been sold to Germany. The sale of the 6-year old became known when his new owner and rider took him out to their first show together.
Skyline to B is a 6-year old Swedish warmblood by St. Schufro out of Amazone (by Ampere x Sir Schölling). He is bred by Maria Rasmusson.
Carl Hedin
The tall black stallion was discovered, trained and ridden by Swedish Carl Hedin.
The pair first came into the spotlight in 2021 when they won the 3-year old division at the Swedish Warmblood Young Horse Championships. A year later he reclaimed that title as a 4-year old. In 2023 the pair finished fourth at the World Championships for young dressage horses in Ermelo.
Hedin last competed Skyline to B in April 2024 at the national show in Lidköping, where the stallion did his first 6-year old test. He scored 94.8% in the preliminary test and 96% in the Finals Test. Shortly after this show Hedin put his equestrian show career on hold to pursue the limelight on television by participating in the TV-show "Race Across The World."
Licensed Stallion
Skyline to B was initially not accepted by Swedish warmblood for breeding, due to osteochondrosis of the left hock joint, which is a defect that rejects stallions in SWB breeding. So he got his first "breeding pass" with the Oldenburg society and in 2022 and 2023 stood at stud at Dressage Horse Performance Center in Lodbergen.
The popular stallion got his exemption from SWB's health requirements based on his very good show record in sport and results at the approval in Germany. Most recently he stood up for stud at Lovsta Stuteri in Sweden.
Sold to Germany
Hedin has sold his top horse Skyline to B to German Grand Prix rider Yara Reichert.
She is entered to compete tomorrow in the M-level class at the national show in Gut Ising.
