Description
Bon Coeur impresses with both his own sporting career and that of his children. He himself was a premium stallion at his licensing, winner of his 30-day test and two-time Vice Bundeschampion. His titles also include the 2018 Weltmeyer Prize and the 2023 Grande Prize.
His sporting career began with Lena Berwe and Christin Potratz, who became Vice Bundeschampion of 3 and 4-year-olds respectively with Bon Coeur. After winning a medium dressage test for young horses with Jessica Lynn Thomas, the expressive black stallion switched to Caroline Darcourt. The pair won an Intermediaire I class at their very first show in early 2020. After that, Bon Coeur devoted himself almost exclusively to breeding - with success! This stallion's successes include champion stallions, top prizes and outstanding mares - more on this under ‘Offspring’.
Origin
His sire, Benetton Dream, was Bundeschampion of three-year-old stallions and his walk was honoured with the highest score of 10.0. But this was only the foundation of his career. Several victories in the advanced class, including Grand Prix competitions, testify to his Quality. Almost a dozen licensed sons are a credit to their sire, including Belantis I and II as well as the Grand Prix stallions Botticelli and Briatore.
In addition to Bon Coeur, dam Sonnenschein also produced his full sister Burlesque, who placed at advanced (S) level, as well as the licensed Special Sunshine by Secret.
Dam's sire Sandro Hit - himself Bundeschampion and World Champion of six-year-old dressage horses - became a stamp stallion during his lifetime. He has produced over 190 licensed stallions to date and almost 350 of his children are competing in the advanced dressage class in Germany alone. In 2016, he produced several competitors at the Olympic Games in Rio, including Showtime (Dorothee Schneider) and Jimmy Choo SEQ (Mads Hendeliowitz). Sandro Hit was ranked first in the WBFSH list of the best dressage sires in the world in 2021. He is also the dam's sire of Weihegold OLD (Isabell Werth).
The third sire here is Carismo by Calypso II, who offers an appealing connection to the Holsteiner jumper bloodline.
