Sauvignon is one of the very few
keured sons of champion Kennedy. Though he retired too early from
breeding, Kennedy is in the pedigrees of top auction horses, sports
horses and highly decorated breeding horses. Sauvignon's dam, Schöne
Capri, a daughter of the elite stallion, Caprimond, has produced many
good stallions. Of note is Pythagorus in her background. Sauvignon set
an auction record as a high-selling foal that has not been surpassed. At
his stallion performance test, he impressed with third place overall and
second place in dressage, with 130.62. Sauvignon was trained to
"S" level in dressage. This noble cross of Kennedy and
Caprimond bloodlines is characterized by his typically Trakehner
appearance, his good interior qualities and his three good gaits. His
first foal crop in 2001 was enthusiastically received.
