April April GV

The naming of April April was obvious at his date of birth.

The sire August der Starke OLD won international Grand Prix competitions with Victoria Max-Theurer/AUT and placed Augustin OLD, also ridden by Victoria Max-Theurer, fifth at the European Championship and thirteenth at the Olympic Games.

For the dam Fontainebleau April is the first foal. She descends from the Oldenburg Reserve Champion Fackeltanz OLD, also stationed in Cappeln. After a series of successes in St. Georges dressage competitions and a place in the Burg-Pokal Final of Germany's best young horses, he was immediately placed in the 2015 Grand Prix Tour for young horses.

The granddam, St.Pr.St. Royal Olympia, registered in the stud book under the name Renaissance M, was named Oldenburg Reserve Champion Mare in 2001 and placed in tests for young riding horses. She produced Santorin MT OLD (by Sandro Hit), who as a three-year old under Helen Langehanenberg took third place at the Oldenburg State Championships and fifth place at the Bundeschampionat. As a four-year old, she again took bronze in Rastede and seventh place in Warendorf.

Her sire Rohdiamant was Champion Stallion, Main Premium Winner, Bundeschampion and under Lisa M. Wilcox/USA he won international Grand Prix competitions. The dam Farce, herself a bronze medalist at the Bundeschampionat for young riding horses, produced the licensed full brothers Robbie Williams and Royal Olymp (by Rohdiamant), the latter of whom was the top auction horse in Vechta and won ribbons up to Inter I under Ronald Lüders. The granddam, Franca, went to elementary (L) level show jumping herself. The great-grandmother Penny produced five sport horses.
