Special is a very promising 3-year-old Westphalian stallion, currently at the beginning of his ridden education and carefully starting under saddle.

What makes him particularly appealing is his temperament. Special is an exceptionally sweet, people-oriented horse who genuinely enjoys human contact. He is calm, cooperative and uncomplicated in his daily handling, approaching new situations with curiosity rather than tension. For such a young stallion, he shows a very pleasant and mature attitude toward his work.

His training is still at an early stage, which makes him an exciting prospect for someone who would like to continue developing a talented young horse within their own system. He learns quickly, tries to understand what is being asked of him and gives a very positive feeling in his first steps under saddle.

Special also carries an interesting modern dressage pedigree through Santos and Secret. Santos is an Oldenburg dressage stallion by Secret × Don Schufro, combining the modern Sezuan line with proven Grand Prix blood through Don Schufro. Santos himself achieved an overall score of 8.76 in his 50-day stallion test.

His grandsire Secret, by Sezuan, was one of the standout young dressage horses of his generation. At the 2019 World Young Horse Championships in Ermelo, Secret finished second in the five-year-old final with 96.4%, after winning the preliminary test with 95.4%.

This pedigree gives Special an attractive foundation for a future dressage horse, while his own character makes him especially enjoyable to work with. He combines quality bloodlines with a calm mind, willingness to cooperate and a naturally friendly nature.

Special is still very young, and his future is very much ahead of him. For a rider looking for a correct, uncomplicated young stallion to bring on carefully, he offers a particularly interesting opportunity.
