Fürst Zonik PS

Licensing winner and outstanding sire

Our licensing winner Fürst Zonik PS shines as an outstanding sire early on. His typical and strong-moving foals are extremely sought after.

Fürst Zonik PS completed his performance test in Schlieckau with expected highlights in terms of rideability, willingness to perform and quality of movement. He immediately won dressage horse tests under Isabel Fresse and thus secured his ticket for the Federal Championships.

The father Fürstenball was Oldenburg licensing winner, stallion performance test winner, Oldenburg main premium winner, federal champion and Oldenburg state champion, dressage horse world championship finalist, winner in advanced level dressage up to St. Georges, VTV dressage stallion, number one in the FN breeding value estimate, Danish elite Stallion and Stallion of the Year in Denmark. He is currently ranked 14th in the WBFSH ranking of the world's best dressage sires. Of his numerous Grand Prix-successful offspring, the team world champion, Olympic team fourth and individual seventh place winner and European Championship team bronze winner Heiline's Danciera/Carina Cassøe Krüth/DEN particularly stand out. His championship-winning offspring include the five federal champions Fürsten-Look, Festina PS, Fior, Feinfühl and Feine Bella. Fürsten-Look, champion stallion and one of almost 100 licensed sons of Fürstenball, took third place in the Burg Cup final under Isabel Freese/NOR. His approximately 300 award-winning daughters are led by the two Oldenburg champion mares Fiesta Danza OLD and Fünf Sternen as well as the Hanoverian champion mare Fine Lady.

The mother Zantana placed in dressage horse tests, was sold to a renowned dressage stable in the Netherlands for 955,000 euros at the P.S.I. auction in Ankum and has already recorded victories in the international small tour there under Marieke van der Putten/NED. Her son Debutant PS OLD (by Deparon), who is also licensed, won the Oldenburg State Championships in 2021 and came fourth in the Federal Championship final for three-year-old stallions. In 2023 he placed under Dries van Dyck/BEL at the Federal Dressage Horse Championships. Zantana's Don Schufro son was also approved.

The dam's sire Glock's Zonik N.O.P., who brought together the most influential stallions in Danish breeding with Zack, Romanov and Don Schufro, won team silver under Edward Gal/NED at the European Championships in Rotterdam/NED and took eighth and sixth place in the special and freestyle. His offspring include the Grand Prix successful Zhaplin Langholt/Charlotte Jorst/USA, Zonik Hit/João Pedro Moreira/POR as well as the Small Tour placed Zaeta de Malleret/Helen Langehanenberg, Zonella/Lauren Baggett/USA and Zum Glück RS2 OLD /Robin van Lierop/NED.

The granddam Sondra produced the licensed Pavo Cup winner and Olympic sixth place Glock's Total U.S. (by Totilas)/Edward Gal/NED, the licensed and internationally victorious Dante U.S. up to Inter I. (by Dante Weltino)/Diederik van Siefhout/NED as well as the also licensed Mister U.S. (by Gray Flanell) and Ludwigslust PS (by Lord Europe) and Zaid (by Zonik), who was successful in the international small tour. Sandra's daughter Dandra PS became the mother of the licensed Tango PS (by Totilas), Delice PS (by De Niro) produced a premium stallion by Vitalis. The Grand Prix winner Gossip Girl (by Gray Flanell)/Annika Feldhaus and Great Gatsby PS (by Gray Flanell)/Jessica von Bredow-Werndl, who placed in M** dressage, also come from Sondra.

The third sire, Sir Donnerhall I, acquired the status of a hallmark stallion at an early age. Even second reserve champion of his licensing, state champion, performance test record winner, vice dressage horse world champion and federal champion as well as main premium winner, he can point to over 100 licensed sons.

The great-granddam Contana, mated to Sandro Hit, produced the licensed Swagman, winning Grand Prix under Kristy Oatley/AUS. Her daughter Contanita (by Sandro Hit) produced the licensed Tostolany (by Totilas) and daughter Viva Contana (by Vivaldi) produced our licensed Pavo Cup winner Extreme U.S. (by Escamillo).

The stallions Aledo, Brilloso du Feu and Carinue also come from the mother line.
