FLORIDA TN 

Height: 167 cm, 16.2hh
Origin: Oldenburg

Premium and Reserve Champion Oldenburg stallion

This stunning young stallion was approval with a score 8.5 for overall impression.
His most is impressive bloodlines include the stallions Blue Hors Zack (No. 2 on WBSHF) who is one of the most influential dressage stallions of the moment, Jazz (No. 3 on WBSHF), Rubenstein, Sir Donnerhall (No. 10 on WBSHF). Florida is line bred to all three of these magnificent stallions: Donnerhall (twice on the top line), Rubenstein and Don Schufro. This is one impeccably stellar lineage for dressage.

This spectacular son of the promising For Dance has movement to dreams of. In trot,
Florida moves with a fantastic posture, lots of balance and fantastic technique. In
canter, he moves uphill with a lot of power and scope. He has impressive strength and
striking use of the front and hind leg. His sire, For Dance scored 9 for canter, 8 for trot and 10 for character and temperament at his 14-day-test in Schlieckau.

Not only are bloodlines and striking movement with uphill conformation, and most of all a powerful hind leg a big consideration for us when choosing a stallion, we believe that temperament is THE most important aspect of all. Florida scored a 10 for temperament and an 8 for overall impression. EXCITING times ahead for us at Watermark Warmbloods.
