At the 2025 DSP Stallion Licensing in Munich, the breeding stallion Decurio was proclaimed Elite sire.
Decurio is a 17-year old Hanoverian stallion by Desperados out of Regentin (by Rotspon x Borneo x Gardeoffizier). He is bred by Johann-Bernhard Tuitjer.
Premium Stallion
Decurio was named premium stallion at the 2010 Hanoverian Stallion Licensing in Verden and move to his owner's place, the state stud Moritzburg.
He did his 30-day performance test in Moritzburg in the November 2011 and scored 8,93 for dressage and 7,48 for show jumping total 8,18 points. He achieved his lifetime licence through sport.
Sport Career
Decurio only had a very short and light career in sport.
He was first competed by Kay Pawlowska in 2012. They finished third at the 2012 Hanoverian Young Horse Championships.
A 7-year break from showing followed. In 2019 Decurio returned to the arena with Susann Göbel at M-level. Another 2-year break followed and in 2021 he did his first S-level test and showed at a handful of competitions at small tour level through August 2023.
Breeding
As a breeding stallion Decurio has sired 8 licensed sons so far of which 4 are in stud book I (Danny Decur, De Sandro, Decour, Delacroix, Dosseprinz, Dumbledore S, Desperado). Eighteen of his daughters are state premium mares.
He has 191 offspring registered for sport in Germany of which 5 have reached S-level.
Only one offspring seems to be "famous" in international sport and that is Angelina (by Decurio x Liberator) which Carolina Miesner rode to team gold at the 2020 European Children Championships. Nationally he sired Grand Prix horse Dhamani (Uwe Schwanz). De Sandro was a regional (South German) champion as a young horse.
Elite Sire
DSP has now proclaimed Decurio an elite sire. The title is based upon several parameters, including his breeding value index, a minimum amount of licensed sons, and offspring competing at S-level.
Decurio succeeds Quaterback, Don Diamond, Rivero II, and Millennium as DSP elite dressage sires.
