Sir Johnson is a fabulous 3 year old gelding by Sir Donnerhall out of a homebred Johnson dam. He will be a big horse with a great enthusiasm and willingness to learn. He moves well as you would expect from his exquisite breeding and has good conformation. In the right hands I think he could be a serious Grand Prix horse in the future.
Sire: Sir Donnerhall
Sir Donnerhall won his performance test and was awarded his generation's Hauptprämire, awarded for the best first crop of foals sired by stallions licensed in the same year. In 2006, Sir Donnerhall was 5-year-old Bundeschampion, and went on to be Vice World Young Horse Champion. The German FN breeding valuation ranks Sir Donnerhall I as one of the best sires of dressage horses with 150 points. Sir Donnerhall's is out of the Brilliant Ring mare Contenance D. He received the highest dressage index score ever awarded to date of 163 points in his 70-day test.
Sir Donnerhall's sire Sandro Hit was Bundeschampion and World Champion as a 6-year-old in 1999 and 10 of Sandro Hit's progeny also won the Bundeschampionat. At the Rio Olympics 2016 his son Showtime FRH was part of the German gold medal-winning team, and 6th individually, while Santano II was team bronze medallist in eventing for Australia, finishing 5th individually.
Sir Donnerhall's damsire Donnerhall appears in the pedigree of almost every top-level dressage horse. He won numerous international grands prix, including team golds at the 1994 & 1998 World Equestrian Games and the 1997 European Championships, and two individual bronze medals (1994 and 1997). Donnerhall ranked inside the top 10 of the WBFSH Sire Rankings for seven consecutive seasons (2008-2014). Donnerhall's offspring include Damon Hill, Donnerschlag, Donnersong, Don Schufro, Don Principe and Donnperignon and De Niro.
Damline
Sir Johnson is out of my homebred mare Faside Joella. Her sire Glock's Johnson TN NOP with his rider Hans Peter Minderhoud won team gold at the European Championships in Aachen and individually picked up a bronze medal. Jazz-son is 6th on the World Ranking. Johnson is a son of the keur stallion Jazz who performed at grand prix level with Tineke Bartels. Grandsire, Olympic Cocktail also performed at the highest level and achieved numerous victories in grand prix and kur to music. Grandsire, Flemmingh, is famous for producing the grand prix dressage horses, Krack C with Anky van Grunsven and Lingh with Edward Gal. Great grandsire Sultan is not only the sire of the Oldenburg approved stallion Sion, but also of the worldfamous jumper It’s Otto from Geoff Billington. Johnson descends from the famous 'Reina' line; the renowned mare line from breeder Wim van Arkel. Famous horses from this motherline include Darkdream, Sultan, Kallisto, Mendel, Charmeur and Waldo.
Johnson combines an exquisite pedigree with a perfect dressage model and three excellent gaits. He also boasts a good temperament and rideability. Johnson was the overall champion of the KWPN stallion show in 2005. From his first breeding year three offspring were selected to participate in the finals of the Dressage World Championships at Verden. Amongst them were Bretton Woods and Boston. Johnson has three approved sons with the KWPN: Breezer, Bretton Woods and Jacksparrow. Johnson himself is very successful in international dressage competitions with Hans Peter Minderhoud.
Sir Johnson leads, loads into a trailer and picks out his feet. He is used to living out in a herd but is also good to come into the stable. He is used to wearing rug in winter. He has a kind eye and a fun personality. He would suit an experienced, competitive home. He is wormed, vaccinated for flu and tetanus, microchipped and passported WBS-UK.
Prices are negotiable to competitive homes and for multiple purchases.
