Sire ESCOLAR - "Just a few years ago, Escolar himself was part of the Olympic squad. He gives his offspring exactly the impressive uphill tendency, carrying power, enormous impulsion and striking strength of movement that have always characterized him in the arena." - Sandra Schürner The triumphal march of the stamp stallion Escolar remains unbroken. At less than 15 years of age, Escolar has already produced a whole dynasty of successful dressage horses that have won acclaim all over the world. Escolar has once again made the E-blood, which has stood for unshakeable performance for generations, the figurehead of elite sport and currently dominates modern horse breeding like few other sires. Whether at licensing, mare shows, remount tests or the big arena: Escolar's offspring impress everywhere with their incomparable quality. Escolar once again crowns this superiority with the current breeding value statistics: Once again, he leads the statistics with 177 points - and thus a clear gap to the ranks. Escolar already has more than 50 licensed sons, numerous licensed grandsons and countless state premium mares among his offspring. Escolar offspring were once again represented in all age groups at the championships in 2023. Endorphin was crowned Vice-Bundeschampion of the four-year-old riding horse stallions; Elastic won the bronze medal at the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses. Mein Ganzes Herz was named Champion Mare Dressage of the Holstein Verband.

The youngsters also caused a sensation: Six sons were approved for the licensing in Vechta and Münster-Handorf and Escalerio MO advanced to the top price at the 66th Westphalian Online Foal Auction. The dam CHIRANA-UTOPIA is none other than the FULL SISTER to the KWPN Dressage Stallion SENSATION..........VIVALDI!! VIVALDI needs no introduction, the sire of multiple Champion Stallions, Champion mares, Grand Prix dressage horses and Champion foals, including the top stallion VITALIS.
