Amoureux
(KWPN 2005) Our Homozygous black dressage stallion with a
pedigree of legendary ancestry who has consistently achieved
excellent results in dressage.
Expressive, head turning, with that "look at me factor",
modern and long legged he possesses three equally good paces,
a ground covering walk, elasticity and suppleness in his trot
with expressive use of the front leg in all three paces. His
canter is excellent with above average length of stride, uphill
cadence and good self carriage.
Amoureux is a consistent winner with high scores and has
now made his debut at Advanced level dressage. He debuted
his dressage career in young horse qualifiers with scores
of 80%, including the Badmington Young Dressage Horse Of The
Future, the Sheerwater Potential International Dressage Horse,
the Sheerwater British National Young Dressage Horse both
as a five and six year old under International Grand Prix

Double win at the Sheepgate Premiere League in the Hickstead
Young Horse Qualifier and Medium SOQ75 with a final placing
in the Sheerwater 6YO National Dressage Championship at Hartpury
Festival Of Dressage.

His
Progeny:
In a very short time frame Amoureux has proven to be a progenitor
of his own strengths and positive attributes, an opinion shared
by many National and Overseas judges, breeders and mare owners.
Due to his genetic make up being homozygous black, Amoureux
cannot produce chestnut foals.
The worthiness of any sire can only ever be proven by the
quality and success of his progeny. He has consistently sired
Champion Prize Winning and high scoring Premium progeny. His
oldest progeny have commenced under saddle with excellent
results.
His first foals demonstrate clearly that he adds expression,
suppleness and athleticism, he refines the head, adding length
to neck and limb, raising the forehand. He produces light
footed foals with excellent use of the foreleg, frequently
adding length of stride often in all three paces, most have
shown to inherit his exceptional canter a characteristic inherited
from the great Ramiro Z.
Above all Amoureux produces beautiful progeny with the most
wonderful , trainable temperaments suited for the every day
amateur or professional. All the talent without the fizz!
2016 Three of his progeny qualified for
the Scottish Winter Regional Championships, with Amouriva
(Argus x Amethist) winning the Prelim Championship. At The
British Dressage Nationals she was Highest Placed British
Bred.

nature.
