Soprano Stallion Sandro Hit Son

SOPRANO, formerly Blue Hors Soprano ridden by Andreas Helgstrand, is a striking, modern, 17.1 h, homozygous black
stallion with proven world class performance bloodlines inherent in his pedigree. Possessing three excellent basic gaits that
exhibit energy, activity, suspension, and elasticity, his ground covering, movement is effortless and impressive.

SOPRANO’s pedigree demonstrates great depth and versatility. His sire, the legendary 1999 World Young Horse
Champion and Bundeschampianate SANDRO HIT, passes on to his progeny the genes of numerous influential stallions.
SANDRO HIT’s sire, SANDRO SONG, a double graded champion in Oldenburg, is by SANDRO, an international show jumper
who won the Danish Derby ridden by Franke Sloothaak. WELT AS, in SANDRO HIT’s third generation, is famous for siring Anke
Van Grunsven’s Olympic Dressage Champion Bonfire and many other top horses.

SOPRANO'S damsire, the legendary CONTENDER, who won his 100 day test, is one of the most significant sires in
Germany. CONTENDER’s progeny are characterized by outstanding jumping ability, very good movement, and excellent
rideability. SOPRANO's mare line (The Flattopia) produced many international stars such as dressage horse Rubioso ridden
by Ellen Bontje; Lord Kem (Champion Stallion in 1989); Continue; Maffay; Calmiro; and Farmer.

ALSO FOUND on SOPRANO’s damside is TIN ROCCO, who won ten conformation tests as a three year old and
competed in Grand Prix jumping winning the Preis Von Blankenesse in Hamburg/Klein Flottbek (Derby Show). Of TIN ROCO’s
approved sons, Traumtänzer won the stallion performance test in the USA and Torero was his best winning dressage horse in
1990. His highly awarded St. Pr. daughter Gutena represented him successfully at the German show in Verden in 1990. His
son Tie Break was in the finals of the 1988 German Show Jumping Championships and in 1990, he won a test at the German
event horse championships. In the 1990 FN breeding statistics TIN ROCCO leads as the most successful sire of event horses
of his age group.

TIN ROCCO’S sire, TIN ROD XX, was an English TB of large frame and excellent movement. He produced approved
stallions and very valuable mares including the dam of Landlord (Olympic horse 1988) and Lausbub (international show
jumper).

SOPRANO'S OFFSPRING are modern in type inheriting his beauty, elegance, elastic movement, correct conformation,
outstanding temperament, athleticism, and dark color. Not only do they show great talent for dressage, they also show a great
deal of scope and style over jumps. Soprano has been a very consistent producer of top offspring in Sweden, Denmark,
Germany.

Chaigon: (Soprano/Blue Hors Hertug/Diamond) Out of 550 young dressage horses that competed in Sweden, 69
were selected for the Swedish Young Horse Championships. Soprano's son Chaigon was among those 69 and was
then one of 10 selected to compete in the Champions' Finale, placing 9th under Minna Telde. Chaigon received
excellent scores at the Swedish Warmblood Association Inspection with a 10 for type; 9/head, neck and body; 8/legs;
8/walk; 9/trot; 9/canter.

Autumn Elite Auction in Vechta, Germany.
Samba: A four-year old Soprano/Donnerhall mare, is graded as runner-up champion in the Danish Warmblood main
stud book with excellent marks.

competition, Grevens Sa'Va' received scores of 8.0/walk, 8.5/trot, 9.5/canter, 9.0/rideability and 9.0/capacity. Those
scores took her to the “Gold Ring” at the September 2008 Elite Show in Denmark. That is when the 3-5 VERY best
mares of the country are selected for the final where the Best Mare of the Year is picked in Dressage and Jumping.
Grevens Sa'Va' placed third in all of Denmark for Best Mare of the Year, receiving a Gold Medal.
