This filly is similar in type to Don Pascal, but lighter and more elegant. She also has a super hind leg. She received a higher first at the BEF Futurity and 9.5 for her trot and canter. The panel commented on her superb hind leg and very good athleticism. With her mother's breeding this filly is line-bred to the stallion Rosenkavalier.

The juming genes are important to ensure strength through the back and hind quarters. Christ was reserve champion at his licensing. He is picture perfect and shows maximum elasticity in his gaits. His sire Competent has aptitude for dressage and jumping. Capella is long legged, very beautiful and supple.
This filly is long legged, elegant with very uphill gaits. She has an excellent walk and uphill canter. Floriata was the highest scoring dressage foal at the BEF Futurity at Crofton Manor scoring 8.9 overall.

She also received her prestigious 1A at the BHHHS Annual show and became Reserve 3 year old Champion and Reserve Youngstock Champion.
Floriscount (Florencio x Donnerhall x Walldorf) was the undisputed dressage champion (score 147.5) at his performance test receiving 10's for rideability from both test riders and 10 and 9.5 for the canter.
He is a large framed, very leggy individual who passes on his striking frame and elegance to his offspring. At the 2011 German foal championships in Lienen, Floriscount stood out as one of the best represented sires with 3 of the final 12 foals in the line up carrying his genes.
