Barbados

Bernay and Desperados in perfect symbiosis

As if by fate, a highly talented Bernay/Desperados son is given the chance to fill the gap left in dressage horse breeding by these two exceptional sires who were recalled from their earthly existence in 2020. The capital black stallion named Barbados already convinced on the occasion of the Oldenburg Stallion Days 2020 with three equally good basic gaits. Gently encouraged, he also brings this talent to bloom in work under saddle. After successfully passing the short disposition test, Barbados' debut vintage is eagerly awaited in 2023.

Under Kristin Biermann, Albert Sprehe's daughter, the exceptional stallion Barbados is being prepared for his future tasks. With his excellent basic gaits, he is an exceptional talent for the large arena.

Sire Bernay had been on the fast track for years, both in terms of breeding and sport. As a foal maker par excellence, he has produced 18 licensed sons to date. His sire, Boston, is a direct son of Jazz and was able to deliver many important horses to the German breed during his short career. Bernay's dam Lady Leatherdale is the full sister of the licensed stallion Lord Leatherdale. Bernay's dam's sire, Lord Loxley, was himself a Bundeschampion and Vice World Champion Dressage Horse and sired several Olympic horses. With an Intermédiaire II victory, Bernay himself was already knocking on the door of the top class, the Grand Prix de Dressage.

Dam's sire Desperados FRH was at home on the world stage of dressage for years. Under Kristina Bröring-Sprehe, he won team gold at the Olympic Games as well as World and European Championships and was the most successful dressage horse in the world in 2016. At the same time, the son of De Niro, who himself led the WBFSH ranking of dressage sires for years, set breeding milestones. His 38 licensed sons include Destacado FRH, winner of the 2020 Nuremberg Burgpokal Final, and the Grand Prix-winning Olympic stallion Destano. In total, Desperados already has 67 S-successful offspring. The epoch-making Sandro Hit follows in the third generation, another top-placed stallion in the WBFSH rankings.
