Biography

Gaspard is a true movement artist and an exceptional stallion. With his youthful, self-confident and charming presence, he knew how to impress with breathtaking performances at his stallion licensing. His noble appearance and convincing presentations, both in-hand and free running, have made him one of the top stallions in his age group. You couldn’t ask for more when it comes to his powerful and supple, well-balanced basic gaits with lots of elasticity and the desired technique. The same goes for the carrying power of his impressive walk which completes the harmonious overall presence of this stunning young dressage horse. The pedigree of this exceptional young stallion reads like a who's who of the most famous Trakehner horses! His sire His Moment was the champion stallion of his age-group and is trained by German national trainer Jonny Hilberath. Like his awarded son Gaspard in 2020, he knew how to play to the gallery. The licensed stallion Schäplitzer was born in the same year. The approved and highly-regarded sire line features the valuable dressage blood of the Grand Prix and advanced level dressage stars E.H. Millennium, E.H. Easy Game and E.H. Le Rouge. His dam Gabriella is a daughter by the famous E.H. Imperio who was the reserve winner at his stallion licensing in Neumünster in 2025. He is regarded as a stallion with a dry conformation, passing on the positive influence of his grandsire Balfour xx. E.H. Imperio celebrated successes at the international dressage level with riding master Hubertus Schmidt, being nominated for the Nations Cup team (2015) and as a reserve for the Rio Olympics (2016) and the European Championships (2017). E.H. Imperio sired 11 licensed sons, among them six premium stallions, and 27 state premium mares. These include the licensed Grand Prix-stallion Heuberger TSF who successfully competed under Anabel Balkenhol, as well as the 2015 and 2016 Vice Bundeschampion in dressage, Goldmond TSF, and the licensed E.H. Schwarzgold, who qualified for the Bundeschampionat, performed successfully in advanced level (S) dressage tests and has become a very popular sire with breeders. Standing O’Vation TSF, a full sister to E.H. Schwarzgold, was the 2013 champion mare, finalist at the World Championships in Ermelo and later successful in dressage tests up to the advanced (S) level. Great-grandsire E.H. Connery was regarded as one of the most important sires in the Trakehner breed, shining at the Warendorf Bundeschampionat at the age of three, four and five. He was known for siring horses with super rideability and work ethic. Gaspard’s great-grandsire on the maternal side of the pedigree, Schwadroneur, was also an important sire of the Trakehner breed. He was Danish Stallion of the Year in 2000 and 2023 in Germany. He was also one of Denmark’s most successful dressage horses under Anne Grethe Törnblad with 36 victories and placings up to the Grand Prix Special-level.
