Biography

From zero to seventh place in the WBFSH ranking of the world's best dressage sires Totilas did not only break records in the dressage arenas. He also sets completely new standards with his heredity - which has placed him seventh in the WBFSH ranking of the world's best dressage sires. Three of his offspring from his first generations competed at the Tokyo/JPN Olympic Games, including Glock's Total U.S./Edward Gal/NED, placed sixth individually and Go Legend/Marlies van Baalen/NED, placed fifth with the Dutch team. Governor-STR/Adelinde Cornelissen/NED, double Vice World Champion of young dressage horses, was part of the fifth-placed Dutch team at the European Championships in Hagen a.T.W. The list of his offspring victorious at Grand Prix level is also getting longer and longer: Te Quiero SF/Christian Schumach/AUT, Glock’s Toto Jr. N.O.P./Edward Gal/NED, Birkhof’s Topas FBW/Victoria Max-Theurer/AUT, Genuine/Marijke van Giesen/NED and of course our Burg Cup and Louisdor Prize winner Total Hope OLD/Isabel Freese/NOR. The latter leads the crowd of almost 30 licensed sons of Totilas, which also includes Top Gear OLD/Isabel Freese, who came fourth in the Burg Cup and Thiago GS/Matthias Alexander Rath, who came sixth, as well as our German Championship bronze medallist Total McLaren/Jana Schrödter and the second most expensive Hanoverian premium stallion Take That, with a knockdown price of 370,000 Euros.

With Edward Gal, Totilas won Team Gold, Silver in the Special and Gold in the Freestyle at the European Championships in Windsor/GBR in 2009 and set world records in the Grand Prix and Grand Prix Freestyle.
