Futurity 2020

Description

The first of three fabulous lots from SLF Stud is this convincing son of the great Vitalis whose influence on modern dressage breeding, with no fewer than 33 internationally licensed sons, and countless successful offspring competing at the top of the sport, has been incredible.

The dam has much to offer, bringing the important influence of the Grand Prix stallions Charmeur and Dreamcatcher on the Lady-Reveil Stam, with the direct motherline producing the Grand Prix dressage stallion Vivaldo who was internationally successful under the saddle of the Dutch rider Mirelle Kemenade-Witlox. A pedigree that stands for performance at the highest level.

With credentials like this it is perhaps not surprising that Vittadini was awarded the Premium accolade at his Oldenburg foal inspection.

In his Futurity assessment, Vittadini stood out with beautiful, strong type and presence, as well as a particularly nice, ground covering and balanced canter. A confident showman, this foal has the “look-at-me” factor with a pedigree to match.
