***Scottish Sports Horse Champion Foal 2013***

Infallible SSH is an exquisitely handsome and noble colt foal that impresses with his presence, elegance, type and athletisism. His mechanics in trot are excellent, rythmical and balanced, he has a good walk, with balance harmony and good self carriage in canter. He shows a special aptitude to move in and out of length of stride and changes leads easily in canter.

He has a beautiful long, well set neck, good length of body and powerful well developed quarters. This colt will be a very nice and easy horse to ride in the future and will excell in dressage however with such a good gallop could easily see him fair well as an eventer.

Infallible is a son of the young Oldenburg stallion Foundation (Fidertanz x De Vito) out of a KWPN Ster mare by the KWPN Approved Hanoverian stallion San Remo (Wolkentanz I x Volturno)

Not only does this handsome colt boast an impressive sire lineage but is out of the KWPN Ster mare Abisag who is a descendant of a successful damline that has produced numerous advanced, Intermediate and Grand Prix dressage horses. An illustrious pedigree combining the bloodlines of Florestan I, Donnerhall and Weltmeyer.

His sire "Foundation" at the Oldenburg Stallion Days in Vechta set a new milestone, after evaluation of the performance record to date and his first foal crop, he was the dominant I-a main premium winner of stallions with emphasis on dressage in 2012 and in 2013 qualified for the World Dressage Championships.

Foundation's sire, Fidertanz, the impressive 2004' NRW Champion Stallion, has successfully competed up to Intermediate 1 dressage and produced 34 licensed sons. Foundation is the younger full brother of the licensed stallion and Bundeschampionat's finalist Fiderstar. Foundation originates from the Hanoverian mare line 569/Paninka, producer of 30 licensed stallions, including Isabell Werth's multiple Grand Prix winner Apache. Grand dam Weniga presented the 17-time advanced level test winner Queeny, who competed successfully in the short Grand Prix with Victoria Michalke, as well as the Prix St. Georges winner Lord/Kathleen Keller.

Another of the highlights in Foundations pedigree is the Grand Prix dressage Donnerhall son "De Niro" who is currently number 1 dressage sire of the World Breeders Federation stallion rankings based on the success of his progeny in sport.

San Remo was much admired for the suppleness and harmony of his paces and his expressive presence in the arena which also earned him his second place at the PAVO Cup Championships in 2004 earning his place at Verden.
