Description
The So Perfect son Sir Franklin was licensed at the Oldenburg Main Licensing 2025 and impressed with his modern, expressive appearance, elastic movement dynamics and outstanding basic gaits. In particular, his powerful, supple trot, uphill-balanced canter, and rhythmical, energetic walk captured the attention of both breeding experts and spectators alike.
Hendrik Sosath also expressed his enthusiasm for this promising newcomer:
“This stallion combines three of today’s most sought-after sires: Sezuan, Ampère and Gribaldi.”
Origin
The pedigree of Sir Franklin stands out for its exceptional density of sporting achievements and internationally recognized dressage sires, offering a reliable and proven performance potential.
On the sire line, So Perfect, ridden by Leonie Richter, has proven himself both in breeding and in sport. Already named Reserve Champion at the 2019 Oldenburg Stallion Days, he demonstrated his outstanding breeding value at an early stage. At the same time, he continues to excel at the highest levels of sport and is now successfully competed up to Intermediaire II level. This rare combination of licensing Quality and top-level athletic performance clearly underlines his exceptional qualities as a sire.
The dam line originates from a well-established and internationally successful Dutch lineage. The dam Lufradin competed successfully in the Netherlands up to Medium (M) level, representing rideability, willingness to perform and strong athletic aptitude.
The second dam, Unette II, already distinguished herself as an outstanding broodmare. She produced the licensed and highly successful Estoril v. Zhivago, who, under Emmelie Scholtens (NED), was a multiple finalist at the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses at both five and six years of age. In addition, Unette II produced Junette RS2 v. De Niro, another successful sport horse competed up to Medium level.
This remarkable continuity of performance is further confirmed by the third dam, Unette, whose offspring include several successful S-level dressage horses: F. Charly v. Akteur, placed at Grand Prix level; Pulidon v. Burggraaf, successfully competed up to Intermediaire I in the USA; as well as Ramzes v. Cocktail and Klavier v. Balzflug, both successful at S level (the latter under Udo Lange). Completing this line is the licensed stallion Mondriaan v. Balzflug, who also competed successfully at Medium-advanced (M) level**.
The breeding strength is further affirmed by the fourth dam, Nannet, who produced three internationally successful S-level dressage horses: Calador v. Amor (ridden by Bent Jensen, USA) and Byoux v. Le Mexico (ridden by Anne Franssen, NED) both competed successfully at Grand Prix level, while Candy v. Le Mexico, ridden by Jochen Hippenstiel, excelled at Prix St. Georges.
The overall excellence of the dam line is further emphasized by additional internationally successful Grand Prix horses, including Kingston v. Voltaire (Leslie Morse, USA) and Vradin v. Gribaldi (Simon Missiaen, BEL).
