Sire
His sire Bonds began his career as an Oldenburg Champion Stallion. Majestic appearance, highly modern and brilliant type, outstanding movements, perfect self-carriage. Bonds well overtopped the high-quality Oldenburg licensing year in Vechta and was frenetically celebrated as victory-stallion. He won both his sport tests with dream scores (10 for canter, 9.5 for rideability) and won a series of competitions for young dressage horses. Trained by Beatrice Hoffrogge, he has since made a successful debut at high level. Over 20 of his sons have been licensed. His father Benicio advanced under Anna Sophie Fiebelkorn to the National Champion of dressage horses in 2011. He obtained the mark 10.0 for walk and trot, 9.5 for overall expression and 9.0 for his canter. He completed his 30-days-test in Schlieckau ten times scoring the maximum score of 10.0. The final mark with emphasis on dressage was 9.88 and herewith he even ranked ahead of his father Belissimo M NRW's record valuation. Meanwhile he was able to celebrate victories up to Inter ll level. Benicio remains a top dressage sire in the Hanoverian Verband Directory, a proven Dressage Sire and a Breeder's choice for Rideability and Athleticism. 'Rideability. character, temperament and willingness to perform are the sought-after attributes that Benicio passes on just as much as his Sire Belissimo.'

Dam Sire
For Romance is the epitome of a modern sire, and is from a very successful dam line that has had great success. Blessed with three excellent gaits, his canter and trot can only be described with superlatives, and his character is also noteworthy. He stood out brilliantly in the strong lot of stallions at the 2011 Oldenburg Verband licensing and the enthusiastic spectators in Vechta gave him standing ovations. Having been pronounced Champion Stallion of his licensing in 2011, For Romance did not disappoint during his 30-day test in Schlieckau, passing with super scores. He received a 9.25 for his trot and rideability, a 9.0 for his canter and an 8.88 for character.

Bonds Boy is gorgeous inside and out. Excellent conformation, type, uphill, elevated movement and active hind leg. A rare opportunity to acquire such an amazing youngster, to bond with ahead of his education progressing further.

The right competitive home is an absolute non-negotiable for this very special boy, he deserves the best!
