Florestan I – Trapper – Dragoner
(with Rheingold, Furioso II & Furioso xx on her stallion side)
Breeder: Christian Heinrich, Harbergen

See St.Pr. Florentina in “Our Horses” and Florestan I in “Related Stallions”!

 Florentina is out of Titania who produced a consistent string of very high quality offspring including four top elite auction horses whereof Flamenco was sold in 1990/91 (DM 135,000), developing in to a Grand Prix Special winner in Germany & being placed 6th in the German Championships Grand Prix. One daughter born 1994 by Rubinstein was sold by the breeder to Austria where she is having a successful dressage career.

Florentina was placed 3rd in her mare test at Dorum, Germany in June 2004 and thus qualified for Stadt Premium. She is a beautiful horse with very good paces doing well in training and is expected to be ready to compete at PSG during the 2009 season in Germany.

Florentina is trained and ridden by the International Grand Prix riders Natalie Hobday and Jonny Hilberath in Germany since 2004. Their ability to repeatedly produce horses correctly prepared for and competing at the top level is 2nd to none. The horses are not “pushed”, everything has to take its time working naturally forward, carrying themselves with diligence and active hind quarters, maintaining rhythm, suppleness and impulsion. Extensions are done when the horses are ready to do them correctly. There are no exceptions.  It is a bold statement to make but you will not find a more correctly ridden and trained horse anywhere!
