2019 was VITALIS'S year. In autumn 2019 eleven of his sons were licensed at almost all German licensings, four of which were also awarded premiums in Hanover, Westphalia and Mecklenburg. This brought the number of Vitalis' licensed sons to 33, with Valverde/Eva Möller, Champion Stallion, German Champion and fourth at the World Championships for young dressage horses, Villeneuve/Dorothee Schneider, Reserve Champion, Vice World Champion, third at the German Championships and St. Georges Special Winner and Vaderland, Westphalian Reserve Champion, clearly standing out. Vayron/Helen Langehanenberg was placed in the Burg Cup final and Valencia AS/Fabienne Müller-Lütkemeier was placed at the CHIO Aachen. In 2016, Victoria's Secret became World Champion in Ermelo after winning the German Championships the year before. The Westphalian Champion Mare Vienna and the Rhineland Champion Mare Virginia K stand out amongst the 33 state premium mares.
Vitalis’ foals often reach top prices: the colt Vardy was sold for 120,000 euros at the Oldenburg Elite Auction. Selling for 53,000 euros, VIP was second top price at the Summer Mixed Sales in Vechta.
Vitalis was Champion Foal in the Netherlands in 2007, Reserve Champion of the NRW licensing in 2009, winner of the dressage index of his stallion performance test in 2010, placed at the World Championships and Pavo Cup final in 2012, Champion in the USA and again qualified for the World Championships with a record number of points in 2013 and victorious in the International Small Tour at only seven years old in 2014. He came back to Germany and, in 2016, ridden by Isabel Freese, he won the Burg Cup Final in Frankfurt and the "Stallion of the year" competition at Inter I level at the World Championships in Ermelo/NED. Vitalis was Vivaldi’s first licensed stallion.
Vivaldi was Reserve Champion of his stallion performance test in the Netherlands. In 2007, he won the Pavo Cup for five-year-old dressage horses and in 2008 and 2009, ridden by Hans Peter Minderhoud/NED, he won the KNHS/KWPN stallion competition, where he was awarded 10.0 for his trot. He was then internationally successful up to Prix St. Georges. In 2013, he won the VHO trophy at the KWPN licensing. After that, he was predominantly used for breeding and Vivaldi produced numerous exceptional stallions, namely in the Netherlands with Desperado N.O.P./Emmelie Scholtens/NED, Glock’s Dream Boy N.O.P./Hans Peter Minderhoud/NED, Expression/Diederik van Silfhout/NED, Eye Catcher and Ferdinand, and in Germany with Van Vivaldi (Westphalian Reserve Champion), Versace (Oldenburg Reserve Champion), Cennin/Madeleine Witte-Vrees/NED (winner of the Oldenburg Ic main premium), Veneziano/Daniel Bachmann Andersen/DEN (2nd Oldenburg Reserve Champion), Livaldon (Hanoverian premium stallion) as well as Vivino, record top price of the Stallion Market sold for over two million euros and Hanoverian premium stallion. His dam Tolivia won the three-year-old mare championships in the Netherlands.
The dam of the spectacular 5 year old mare, A SPECIAL LADY TEXEL who competed at L Level dressage. The full maternal sibling to the top KWPN Elite dressage Grand Prix dressage mare BELLE LADY TEXEL ridden by Lotje Schoots. Previous to this she was awarded the ELITE status by the KWPN and got a fantastic score at her IBOP of 82. She was in the VSN dressage finals in 2009, in 2010 she was 6th in the Finals of the PAVO Cup amongst some top stallions. In 2011 she was again in the Finals of the PAVO Cup and was also selected for the World Championships in Verden as a Reserve horse. Half sister to A SPECIAL LADY TEXEL is WONDERLADY TEXEL (Ferro) who won Reserve Champion at the KWPN National Mare Championships in 2006. At her mare grading she received 90 for exterior and 85 for movement. At the Performance Plus Sale in 2006 this outstanding mare was sold for 155,000 euros!! The second highest price paid that year. She is now competing at Grand Prix dressage. Another half sister PRIDE GRAAF TEXEL (Burggraaf) competed at both ZZ dressage and jumping.
The half sister to this incredible filly, and first foal of A Special Lady Texel is the KWPN mare MFS I'M THE LADY TEXEL (by Charmeur) who was sold to America as a foal and made her Small Tour Dressage debut in 2020. Another half brother MFS JAZZMAN has been making waves in the dressage arena in the UK with scores near 80% competing up to FEI PSG. Another half sister MFS AESOPICA TEXEL made her PSG debut in 2024.
MFS VIP LADY TEXEL was awarded PREMIUM by the Oldenberg Verband as a foal. She went for backing in September 2024. In a very short period of time she is now under saddle and showing a tremendous work ethic and trainability. She will happily hack on our her own or in company. Can be ridden in a field. Has travelled to a couple of arena hires and has not been spooky or sharp. She has a totally willing character under saddle, having been ridden even by a 13 year old rider. She would make an excellent amateur or professional's horse. She is fully up-to-date with vaccinations, wormed, used to farrier etc.
This young horse really is one not to be missed. She is such an exciting prospect for the future. She has three quality gaits with super use of the hindleg in both her trot and canter, showing great uphill motion. If you are looking for a trainable, level headed dressage horse that you can also hack out and enjoy life with, then this mare is for you! They say that great things come in small packages, our wonderful mare VIP, is clearly no exception. She is ready to make someone VERY happy!! Given the success of her siblings, we know in the correct hands that this mare will easily go to the top in the dressage arena.
We are based in Aberdeenshire, but can easily collect from the airport or train station which are both under 30 minutes from where she is currently stabled.
She is competitively priced for her quality and only for sale as she is going to be too small for our daughter.
