Skyline To B and So Perfect Gelded

Dressage

Oldenburg

Breeding stallions and dressage horses Skyline to B and So Perfect have both been gelded. Their career will be exclusively focused on sport.

Skyline To B

Skyline to B is a 7-year old Swedish warmblood by St. Schufro out of Amazone (by Ampere x Sir Schölling). He is bred by Maria Rasmusson.

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. Under then owner Carl Hedin. 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.

He sold to Yara Reichert in Germany in September 2024. She has now gelded him and announced the news on social media.

"Skyline has already been gelded because it was partially life-threatening. We have a lot of mares and he was completely uncontrollable," Reichert said in one of her stories.

So Perfect

So Perfect is a 8-year old Oldenburg by Sezuan out of Shakikra (by Sir Donnerhall x Rohdiamant). He is bred by Frank Nordhausen.

Initially co-owned by Helgstrand Dressage and Heiko Klausing, the bay became reserve champion of the 2019 Oldenburg Stallion Licensing and premium stallion at the 2020 Danish Warmblood Stallion Licensing. He is approved for all major German studbooks.

As a popular breeding stallion his sport career was on the back burner. He was first shown in Denmark as a 5-year old in June 2022. Under Betina Jager he finished 7th at the 2022 Danish Young Horse Championships. He did one show in 2023. He then moved to Germany where he did not compete.

In October 2024 So Perfect sold to the Australian couple Paul and Emma Weel. Leonie Richter has been training him and they made their show debut in Ankum in October and November in two Test of Choice classes. Most recently they posted 73.289% in the Intermediaire II.

So Perfect has been gelded to be focused on sport, even though when he sold it was initially announced he would still stand at stud. "The decision was made to help him to focus on riding, on turnouts stress-free (paddock & pasture) and having a real horse friendly life," said Viola Abrahams who was going to manage his studbook. "The pressure he was under because of an obvious high hormone-level was difficult."
