Damsire, Sandro Hit. Very few stallions have managed to become a legend during their lifetime. Sandro Hit is therefore almost unique and his production of epochal importance in world dressage horse breeding. He has almost created his own "label": Descendants of Sandro Hit are high in blood, modern, harmonious, equipped with excellent movement and a fascinating appearance. They conquered the scene and made their sire a foundation stallion of modern times. Sandro Hit was himself an amazing German national champion, World Champion of six-year-old dressage horses and trained up to Grand Prix. His heredity is full of superlatives never seen before: Top prices at auctions from foals up to ridden horses, 187 licensed stallions, amongst them several champion stallions, championships winners and numerous Grand Prix winners. 2016 was another special year in the life of this production hero: He crowned his breeding performances, that so far were already unique in every regard, with five (!) Olympians in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil: Sandro Boy/Lyndal Oatley (AUS), Santano II/Christopher Burton (AUS), Schufro/Mads Hendeliowitz (SWE), Showtime/Dorothee Schneider (GER) and Selten HW/Anders Dahl (DEN), the last two winning precious metal. With Dorothee Schneider, Showtime FRH was part of the German gold-medal team in dressage, after he became German Champion in the Grand-Prix freestyle and vice-champion in the Grand-Prix Special. Santano II was team bronze-medalist with Christopher Burton (Australia) in eventing. Sandro Hit has produced twelve German national champions; in 2016, Sisters Act completed the dozen when she became champion of four-year-old mares and geldings. Since 2016, Sandro Hit ranks among the prize-money millionaires (168 descendants have registered dressage S level successes). In the dressage WBFSH world ranking, he was able to improve his ranking in 2017 up to a sensational second place.
