BARON

Baron is a son of Benicio and Snoopje (by Sir Donnerhall I).

His sire, Benicio is a beautiful stallion. After his approval, Benicio was stationed in South Africa to serve as a dressage breeding stallion for Callaho. Two years old, in 2011, convinced by the high quality of his foals and to do justice to his extraordinary potential, he returned to Germany to be professionally trained by Anna-Sofie Fiebelkorn, and to get his full breeding approval for the Hannoverian studbook. In Germany, Benicio won the German Bundeschampionat at 6 years old as well as his stallion performance test in Schliekau, with perfect scores of 10 in walk, trot and canter. His final score for the dressage section, 9.88, surpassed even his sire's and was the highest score ever achieved in a stallion performance test.

Benicio's sire, Belissimo M, is a renowned stallion, famous for passing on his good temperament, his rideability, and his beautiful head. He has competed at the highest level himself and his offspring include Bella Rose, who was part of the German gold medal team at the 2014 World Equestrian Games, and 3 approved grand prix stallions Biedermeier, Bestseller Royale, and Barclay 20.
