Showdown is
an impressive premium stallion with scope and nobleness,
extravagant in type with the desired refined bloodlines. His
movement is distinguished by a high degree of elasticity. Even
his walk and canter leave nothing to be desired. His extremely
popular sire, Sandro Hit, was Bundeschampion of six year old
dressage horses and World Champion of young horses in Arnheim,
the Netherlands. He has sired several Bundeschampions, including
Poetin, Sandro Classic and Show Star, as well as approval
winners Sir Willson, Sandrit, Stedinger and Samba Hit II.
Showdown's dam, Goldfee, is a daughter of the highly esteemed
Gotthard son, Goldstern, who was one of the best sires in modern
day breeding history and fit perfectly in not only dressage but
also jumper pedigrees. The dam's side of Showdown's pedigree has
a highly interesting breeding variation: Showdown is a product
of a particularly successful branch of the widely branched
Thoroughbred family 11, making him closely related to numerous
prominent horses in Thoroughbred breeding, some of which have
also left clear marks in warmblood breeding as well, such as
Abary xx, Acatenango xx, Agavit xx, Black Sky xx (sire of
Bolero) and Game Fox xx. |
