Depardieu was reserve champion at his 2000 Oldenburg keuring, where he thrilled with his sparkling performances, which made him the favorite of the crowd. His beautiful uphill movements are fascinating, no matter how many times one sees him. He has a beautiful face, wonderful neck and perfect topline. At a young age, he already has the aura of a great stallion. His sire De Niro is known by all, due to his great career as a performance horse and sire. Depardieu’s damline is based on consolidated Hanoverian performance lines tracing back through Lucian-Lukans-Lugano to foundation stallion Der Lowe xx ("the lion"). The pedigree moreover includes the transmitter of type, Agram, by way of Efendi, and the Thoroughbred Marcio xx, through Markant. In his 30-day test Depardieu received 8.3 in both disciplines, and was sovereign winner of the Oldendurger Landeschampionat in Rastede with the final note of 8.7. The future is his.
