Blue Hors Viva Vegas

Biography

Blue Hors Viva Vegas is one of the most exciting young stallions in modern dressage breeding. Crowned Champion Stallion at the 2024 Danish Warmblood Stallion Licensing, he first attracted international attention at the 2023 DSP Stallion Licensing in Munich-Riem, where his exceptional movement, presence and rideability impressed judges and spectators alike. Viva Vegas is sired by Viva Gold, a grandson of the legendary Weihegold OLD, and is out of a mare by Rock Forever I NRW, a highly successful competitor at both national and international Grand Prix level. This powerful pedigree combines proven performance bloodlines with the elegance and elasticity required for modern dressage sport. Viva Vegas continues to impress both in training and as a young breeding stallion. His first foals, born in 2024, already reflect his outstanding conformation, athleticism and willing temperament. During his performance testing he stood out for his high-set neck, long shoulder and exceptional rideability, combined with a supple walk, ground-covering trot and naturally uphill canter. Under saddle he is known for his balance, power and natural confidence in the arena, qualities that mark him as a stallion with enormous potential for the future of international dressage. “Viva Vegas is honestly one of the most talented horses I’ve ever ridden. Even though he’s still young, he has a maturity in his work that you rarely see at his age. His movement is powerful, yet always so balanced and elegant, and he has a natural confidence in the ring that makes him stand out. It’s a true privilege to work with him every day. I’m really excited about his future because I can already feel that he’s destined for something very special.” — Nanna Skodborg Merrald
