Faside Funfair

A mare of rare quality and refinement, Funfair embodies modern dressage breeding at its finest. Combining elite bloodlines with natural elegance, elasticity, and presence, she offers an exceptional opportunity for the discerning buyer seeking a future competition horse of real class.

Now ready to begin her ridden career, Funfair represents the ideal blend of proven genetics, athletic ability, and rideability, making her equally appealing to both ambitious amateurs and professional riders.

Funfair possesses a beautifully balanced temperament, combining sensitivity with a willing and cooperative nature. She is intelligent, responsive, and naturally trainable, with a kind outlook and a desire to engage with her handler.

Her attitude reflects the very best of her lineage - bringing together the rideability and positive mindset of Fürst Romancier with the renowned temperament and work ethic of Sir Donnerhall. She is the type of mare that forms a genuine partnership and thrives in a structured, sympathetic training environment.

By the highly regarded Fürst Romancier, Funfair inherits three exceptional paces, natural cadence, and a flowing, elastic way of going. Known for his uphill balance and expressive movement, Fürst Romancier achieved outstanding results in his performance test, including scores of 9.0 for all paces and 9.5 for rideability.

Awarded the prestigious Oldenburg Hauptprämie, he has proven himself as a sire of quality and refinement, producing licensed sons and internationally successful dressage horses. His offspring are recognised for their presence, elasticity, and ability to collect—traits clearly reflected in Funfair.

Her dam, Faside Serenade, is a daughter of the exceptional Sir Donnerhall, one of the most influential sires in modern dressage breeding. A Bundeschampion and Vice World Young Horse Champion, Sir Donnerhall has produced numerous Grand Prix horses and high-value auction stars, known for their lightness, elasticity, and trainability.

Funfair combines these qualities seamlessly, showing athletic movement, natural balance, and a presence that marks her out as a horse with real potential for higher-level sport.

Funfair’s pedigree is a masterful blend of some of the most influential dressage bloodlines in Europe.

Her sire Fürst Romancier is by the World Champion Fürst Heinrich, a stallion whose legacy continues through exceptional offspring such as Fürstenball and Woodlander Farouche. Fürst Romancier’s damline traces back to the highly successful Oldenburg Edoste line, known for producing Olympic horses, Bundeschampions, and Grand Prix performers.

On the dam side, Faside Serenade brings the powerful influence of Sir Donnerhall, a son of the legendary Sandro Hit and out of a Donnerhall mare—arguably one of the most successful genetic combinations in dressage history. This line has produced countless elite sport horses, championship winners, and influential breeding stallions.

The combination of Fürst Romancier x Sir Donnerhall offers a rare and valuable fusion of elasticity, rideability, proven performance, and modern elegance.

Funfair is a mare of true quality - combining breeding, movement, and temperament in a way that is increasingly difficult to find.

With her natural ability and exceptional pedigree, she is ideally suited for a rider seeking a horse to develop towards the upper levels of dressage, or for a breeding programme looking to invest in proven and desirable bloodlines.
