​

Snooky's sire, My Romance is a noteworthy IBOP Elite stallion out of legendary Oldenburg, For Romance.  For Romance is the epitome of a modern sire, and is from a very successful dam line that has earned accolades in the show ring. Blessed with three excellent gaits, his canter and trot can only be described with superlatives and his character is also noteworthy. He stood out brilliantly in the strong lot of stallions at the 2011 Oldenburg Verband licensing and the enthusiastic spectators in Vechta gave him standing ovations. Having been pronounced Champion Stallion of his licensing in 2011, For Romance did not disappoint during his 30-day test in Schlieckau, passing with super scores. He received a 9.25 for his trot and rideability, a 9.0 for his canter and an 8.88 for character. He won his first advanced level dressage classes as a seven-year-old and competed in the final of the Nuerberger Burg Pokal. In 2012, For Romance's full sister Fasine took the Oldenburg Champion Mare title - a brother and sister winning both these titles is a feat that is so far unique in the history of the Oldenburg Verband. The damsire, Sir Donnerhall I, gained trademark status early on in his career. He was State Champion, the record-breaking winner of his stallion performance test, Vice World Champion of young dressage horses and Bundeschampion as well as the Hauptprämie winner. More than 50 of his sons have been licensed. In 2010, three of his progeny took Vice Bundeschampion titles in Warendorf; Silbermond - the NRW Champion Stallion, Appassionata, and the licensed Snap Shot. He has also sired numerous top auction horses.

 

On her Dam's side, Krack C, a world renowned dressage stallion, had a highly successful show record, including victories at major competitions like Aachen, Mechelen, Moscow, Oslo, Helsinki, Wiesbaden, and Rotterdam, representing the Netherlands at the 2002 World Equestrian Games where he finished eighth; he was considered a champion at the KWPN Stallion Selection and is particularly recognized for his influential offspring in the dressage world, including the stallion Vivaldi. Krack C has ten sons and thirteen grandsons approved. Through his sons United and especially Vivaldi, Krack C established a significant stallion line. Krack C is a well-known dressage stallion primarily recognized for his exceptional, flamboyant movement with a lot of leg action and suppleness, considered a key factor in his significant influence on Dutch dressage breeding; he is often described as having a "fancy" and expressive way of moving in the ring. He is a tall, large-framed stallion with plenty of bone and a strong shoulder, with a well-connected topline.

 

Snooky has inherited all of the best qualities of her affluent 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 Snooky 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.
