2023 Dutch Warmblood colt by Gaudi SSF out of Bella Luna WF (Benidetto X Warkant)
TALISMAN GWF—Flashy 2023 Dutch Warmblood colt by Gaudi SSF out of Bella Luna WF (Benidetto X Warkant). Chestnut with two hind stockings, two front socks, and a perfect blaze!! Superior colt with international quality gaits! Talisman is everything his pedigree says he should be! He is a very handsome, modern type colt with plenty of bone and tremendous presence! His movement is out of this world—he is uphill with super elastic gaits and tons of suspension! Talisman is a combination of some of the most famous warmblood bloodlines today. His sire, Gaudi SSF, is the first Totilas offspring standing in the USA. Totilas changed the sport of dressage! This exceptional stallion set record after record in quick-fire succession. Within the space of only two years, Totilas had won all the titles there are to win. No other dressage horse has ever electrified spectators in the way that Totilas did. Gaudi’s dam is the elite preferent prestation mare Annabel, by De Niro who also produced the KWPN licensed stallions Bretton Woods and Chagall D&R. Annabel leads the KWPN index for dressage mares. Talisman’s dam, Bella Luna WF is a daughter of the very successful Grand Prix dressage stallion, Benidetto (ES Belissimo M X SPS Crispy Sweet). Benidetto completed superb 30 and 70-day tests placing Third overall in dressage with an index over 128 points and the highest jumping scores of any dressage stallion; 9/9 free jump and 8.75 cross country. It’s no wonder Talisman’s dam is not only a very lovely mover, but also a very successful Event horse competing to the 2* level before an injury ended her career. Top this off with an exceptional temperament, Talisman is an absolute dream come true and everything we had hoped for with this pairing! Talisman will be registered with the KWPN. We are asking $18,000 for this outstanding baby! Another exceptional sport horse offered by Gateway Farm! For more information call (209) 327-6858 or email us at [email protected].
