We are very proud present our new stallion Amour.  When top German Judge Hans-joachim Ahsbhahs saw this horse jump as a three-year-old, he said "AMOUR would be a top international jumper".  Imported at two years, he was presented and approved as a breeding stallion and three years of age by the ISR / Odenburg Association and the American Holsteiner Horse Association.  He was consistently given the highest possible scores for jumping talent and ride ability.

AMOUR placed second overall with 127.85 total points in the largest 100-Day Test ever held in the USA.  Twenty stallions were presented.  This 3-year-old receive the highest score of all 3, 4 or 5-year-old's, and was the highest scoreing Holsteiner.  He was given 9 's on jumping and rideability, 8's on walk, trot and canter.  By a consensus of some of the top riders and trainers in the world Amour will continue his career in sport and breed a limited number of mares in 2000.

Amour's bloodlines go back twice to the famous stallions Alme Z and Gottard. Alme Z won both show jumping and Grand Prix competitions.  At stud he was even more successful: Galoubet, I love you, and Jalisco are three French show jumper offspring that went down in history. Alme Z's many approved stallion sons include the famous Ahorn, Aldato, Alexis, and Aloube Z. Alcatraz was the top stallion of his 100-Day Test and has produced six approved stallions within his first few crops, with several earning perfect 10's for jumping.  Gottard was a legend in his own lifetime.  The list of his international show jumping progeny is long and includes among many others, Galipolis, Genius 2, Goya 12, Gonzales 3k, Goldika 3, Golden Gate 4, and Quensway.  Gottard had many approved sons, among them Goldstern, Goldpilz and Goldfamt.

Amour is by the stallion Aurelio I, by Alcatraz. Aurelio I is a tremendous jumper, with dressage talent to win in Europe at the top levels.  He was purchased from the Verband to pursue a dressage career.  The Holsteiner Verband also approved Aurelio's full brother as a breeding stallion. Aurelio's pedigree contains the blood of the top Anglo Norman, Alme Z, the best Holsteiner blood of  Ronald, Ladykiller, Marlon and the Hanoverian blood of Gottard.

Amour's dam is Espe I, herself a Premium mare who has produced only Premium foals.  Her sire the tremendous jumper-producer Athlet Z, sire of Acrobat I and II, among many others.

The dam's grandsire, Patriciud, is a very interesting sire that only stood in Holstein for one year before his death in 1985.  He was a lucrative racehorse, winning in excess of DM 100,000.  Later he was trained to intermediate dressage level and could jump 1.7 meters. He produced top offspring in the Trakehner, Hessian, Wurttemberg, and Holsteiner breeding programs.  He produced two approved sons, Goldino and Van Deyk. Both are successful advanced dressage horses and Van Dyke has five approved sons to date.
