Rihanna's sire, So Perfect was noted as a “fantastic Reserve Champion”! The Oldenburg licensing committee were unsparing in their praise for the stallion So Perfect: This son of Sezuan presented himself majestically in movement and showed a lot of power and suppleness. The stallion was able to convince the licensing committee in all three basic paces, and his work on the lunge is "particularly noteworthy.” His sire Sezuan, was World Champion of the five, six and seven-year-old dressage horses and belongs, without a doubt, to the most demanded dressage stallions of today. He won international competitions up to Inter I. Since then, he has been trained up to Grand Prix level. On the breeding scene, the Danish Champion Stallion, record stallion performance test winner and Danish Dressage Champion also dominates all events. He sired our two-time record stallion performance test winner Sezuan's Donnerhall, our two-time premium stallion, stallion performance test winner, German Champion and winner of the four-year-olds competition at the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses, So Unique, the Vice World Champion and German Champion of young dressage horses, Secret, and the bronze medallist at the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses, Queenparks Wendy with Andreas Helgstrand/DEN, to name just a few highlights.

​

On her Dam's side, Rihanna descends from KWPN Approved Stallion, Guardian S and KWPN foundation stallion Jazz. Guardian S is descended from Amadin S, a mare from Trento B, and Pradin Z2, a dressage horse who performed the predicates star, preference, sport (dr), and PROK. Winner of the 2016 Dutch Selection trial 5yr division for the World Young Horse Championships, Reserve Champion KWPN Performance Test, Champion of KWPN Stallion Inspection Gelderland Stallions, Champion CK Young WPN Ermelo, Reserve Champion CK Brabant, and Reserve Champion for NMK to name a few accolades. He is a tall 17H, large-framed stallion with plenty of bone and a strong shoulder, with a well-connected topline. Guardian S is an honest and reliable stallion with a very good attitude. This stallion has much willingness to work and works very well.

 

Rihanna has inherited all of the best qualities of her rockstar pedigree. She is just stunning in the riding ring, with impeccable confirmation and uphill gaits, combining the presence and athletic ability of all these top performers.    

 

Five Filly Farm plans to pair Rihanna with one of our KNN registered Knabstrupper stallions in 2025 to bring these amazing qualities to the Knabstrupper breed and add a little color to the show ring.
