Sired by the Imported Danish Spotted Warmblood (Knabstrupper) stallion Tresaison Numero Uno, out of our Pure Spanish mare Ballerina MFI. Guaranteed to have spots.... from a subtle snowflake frosting, a blanket to a full leopard pattern, we wont know till the foal is born!! Base colour may be black, bay or chestnut base even potentially a Dun dilution thrown in!! This foal to mature approx 16hh is sure to please, will be anything but subtle and will be best suited to dressage or working equitation.

​

Knabstruppers are valued for their kind temperaments, high level of trainability, playfulness, sanity, strength, stamina and good health as well as for their wonderful colour. The Sport Horse type has been bred to excel in dressage, eventing and show jumping and has been developed by crossing the Knabstrupper with the warmblood sport horses of Europe, most notably the Danish Warmblood and the Trakehner. The Sport-type Knabstrupper is lighter boned, highly athletic, and excels at multiple disciplines. The most common of the two types, it embodies the spirit of today's working warmblood horse; powerful muscular structure coupled with a slightly narrower structure; designed for greater speed and agility.  Their willingness to work and eager ambitions to please, make them a steady favorite amongst breeders around the world.

Reg Knabstrupper Tresiason Numero Unu was Champion Foal at his KNN grading, gaining a score of 8 overall and a 1st Premium. "Raz" has shown fine form over a showjump fence, but has been the sire of many successful eventers, showjumpers and dressage horses alike. He has an exceptional temperament which is reliably passed onto his offspring.

 

His sire, Nobodys Harlequin, was one of the very few purebred stallions in the country with 87.5% Knabstrupper blood. He was graded with a 1st Premium in 2005 and performance tested and lifetime approved for breeding in 2006 and was awarded best adult stallion, best stallion and best in show. 

​

At the para Olympic Games in Athens in 2004 the para rider Cathrin Lubbe from Norway won double gold induvial in grade IV with her 10 year old knabstrupper stallion Zanko KNN 134. Together with the team they took the bronze medal. At the World Championship in 2007 they won 2 times gold once more, and at the para Olympic Games in 2008 they won double silver. Cathrin and Zanko also competed in non–para dressage classes and was the winner of Grand Prix dressage at national level, and placed in top 3 several times in Intermediere II at CDI (international) level.

​

The father of Zanko is XANTHOS KNN 112  a son of Don Ibrahim. Xanthos, owned and ridden by Ena Sparre, did not only produce Zanko, he produced 8 graded sons and a whole crowd of sporty knabstruppers. The head turning beautiful stallion Xquisit Middelsom KNN 144 was sold to Switzerland where he achieved very fine results in dressage at PSG level and became the father of a licensed stallion. The full brothers Xaxon Middelsom and Xquse Middelsom were both winners of M- level dressage at national level and Xquse was placed as no. 2 at the Danish national championships for junior riders in 2002 with Rune Willum Hansen in the saddle. Also Xavoy Middelsom KNN 160 was successful up till international Intermediere I with Melyni Worth, USA.
