Escaneno became top stallion at the stallion sport test, which took place from January 29th to 31st, 2023 in Münster.
There were two groups based on age. In the group of 4-year-olds, 14 stallions took part and one stallion was eliminated. There were four participants in the 5-year-old group. Test driver was Richard Hannöver.
4-YO: Scanning
The Westphalian-bred Escaneno (by Escamillo x Veneno x Ravallo) scored a total of 9.09 points with 8.8 for walk, 9 for trot, 8.8 for canter, 9.5 for rideability and 9.2 for overall impression.
He was one of six (!!) reserve winners of the Westphalian stallion licensing in 2021 and was bred and owned by stallion owner Tobias Schult. He was not offered at the auction, but the stallion went to the Medingen monastery farm to cover there. A few weeks after the licensing in 2021, the stallion lost his licensed stallion after testing positive for the antipsychotic fluphenazine. A few months later, after a successful second presentation to the licensing board, he was relicensed.
Hannah Laser presented him in the sports test.
4-YO: Del Sogno and St Emilion
Del Sogno (by Dante’s Junior x Lauries Crusador xx x Worldly) owned by Sönke Rothenberger achieved the second best rating. He received a total of 8.60 points with 8.7 for walk, 8.0 for trot, 8.5 for canter, 9 for rideability and 8.6 for overall impression.
One point behind was Klosterhof Medingen’s St. Emilion (by Suarez x Dante Weltino x Rubinstein). Bred by Nina Sixtensson in Sweden, he scored a total of 8.59 points with 8.7 for walk, 8.6 for trot, canter, general impression and 8.5 for rideability.
4-YO: Stephen
Etienne (by Escolar x Sir Donnerhall x Laurentianer), bred by Franz Remmersmann and owned by Gestüt Gut Neuenhof, dropped out of the four-year-olds.
Presented by Simone Pearce in the sport test, Etienne received no rating because an illegal turn was found during the bit check. The official score sheet recorded this with the words “no result due to illegal equipment”. According to the breeders’ forum, the horse was ridden with a non-approved snaffle.
Etienne is the full brother of Eternity, who won gold and bronze at the Bundeschampionat and subsequently won bronze at the 2021 World Championships for Young Horses in Verden. The bay gelding is owned by the Helgstrand sales stable, but has not yet been sold despite all the awards in the show ring. In 2022, Helgstrand rider Anne-Mette Strandby competed with him at national small tour level in Denmark.
5-YO: Infantino
In the small group of four of the 5-year-olds, Infantino (by Ibiza x Sandro Hit x Weltmeyer) was the top scorer. He received a total of 8.43 points with 8 for walk, 8.5 for trot, 8.2 for canter, 8.8 for rideability and 8.5 for overall impression. Presented by Martin Determann, he was ridden by Kira Wulferding.
St. Athletique (by Blue Hors St. Schufro x Hofrat x Wie Weltmeyer) received the second best rating with 8.02.
