Gracieux, a Grannus son, presents himself in a distinguished black coat--the typical outfit of his great sire. A capital, model athlete who makes a clear performance statement that is reinforced by Akzent II, known for ridability, as well as Furioso II and Volturno in the following generations. The former German Champion and international jumper, Zerberus 3 (Ludger Beerbaum and Dirk Hafemeister), also comes from this dam line. Gracieux was able to fully confirm the high expectations placed in him by becoming Reserve Champion of the 1996 Stallion Performance Test in Neustadt/Dosse: he was awarded the highest scores for all criteria. After a series of wins and high placings in jumping horse tests up to medium level, he has now won or placed highly in medium to advanced level. His first offspring have received the highest scores. They have proved to be noble, good-sized and with fantastic movement qualities. Gracieux--the spitting image of his sire.
