Faside Verona

A striking young filly with all the ingredients for a top-class dressage future, this elegant homebred combines two outstanding dressage bloodlines in Vitalis and San Amour. She is modern, athletic, and beautifully put together, with the presence, movement, and pedigree to make her an exciting prospect for sport and breeding alike.

Verona has a kind, intelligent outlook and a naturally confident way about her. She is well handled, quick to learn, and shows the rideable, willing attitude so valued in modern dressage breeding. With her expressive movement and sensible mind, she presents as a lovely young horse for someone looking for both quality and trainability.

Verona’s sire Vitalis has become one of the most sought-after dressage stallions worldwide, admired for his huge, elastic trot, relaxed and rhythmic canter, and exceptional rideability. He made an outstanding impression from the start of his career, standing first reserve champion at the main NRW licensing and later dominating the dressage index of his stallion performance test in Warendorf. He has enjoyed success from young horse level through to Intermediate I, including winning both Small Tour classes at Ermelo with scores over 74% under Isabel Freese.

Vitalis has also proved himself as an exceptional producer of talent. His offspring have excelled in elite shows, auctions, Bundeschampionate, and World Young Horse Championships, with numerous licensed sons and premium stallions to his name.

On the dam side, this filly is out of Faside Sandalwood, a homebred San Amour mare, bringing another proven source of dressage quality into the pedigree. San Amour was dressage champion of his performance test, earning outstanding marks for rideability, and has built a strong reputation for passing on expressive movement, type, and temperament. His progeny have succeeded from young horse classes through to Grand Prix, further underlining the strength of this damline.

This filly offers an exceptional pedigree for anyone seeking proven dressage blood.

Her sire Vitalis is by the internationally successful Vivaldi, whose influence on modern dressage breeding is immense. Vitalis combines athleticism, elasticity, and modern type, and his progeny are already making their mark at the highest levels of young horse sport and breeding.

Her dam Sandalwood is by San Amour, a son of the legendary Sandro Hit, one of the most influential dressage sires of modern times. San Amour is celebrated for his breath-taking trot, uphill way of going, and excellent rideability, and he consistently passes these qualities on to his offspring. His damline is equally strong, combining proven sport and breeding performance through generations.

Together, Vitalis x San Amour brings together some of the most respected names in dressage breeding, making this filly a particularly exciting prospect for the future, whether aimed at sport, breeding, or both.
