Biography

Christ was Second Reserve Champion at the 2007 Hanoverian Stallion Licensing in Verden and completed his 30-day performance test in Schlieckau (2008) with top scores before competing successfully to advanced (S) level. He has produced 18 licensed sons including Collier (Champion Stallion Mecklenburg 2013), Cadeau Noir, Cristall, and Coal Diamond. Over 20 offspring compete at advanced level, with multiple Grand Prix stars led by Cadeau Noir, who won Gold in the U25 European Championship Freestyle (2025) with 80.4% under Moritz Treffinger, plus individual silver and team gold. Other Grand Prix performers include Chrysler, Candescent, and Cap Amour. His young stock achievements include Coal Diamond (Vice Bundeschampion 2013), Charlotte (Bundeschampionat qualifier winner 2013), and Costa Brava (bronze medals 2019). Maxima Bella (Millennium x Christ) placed second in the Grand Prix at CHIO Aachen 2025, highlighting his value as a broodmare sire. Christ represents an essential bloodline alternative through Calypso II, Competent, showjumping legend Picard (Champion Stallion Verden 1979), and Thoroughbred Daimyo xx. His damline traces to Hanoverian mare family 853/Sudette, which produced over 40 licensed stallions and international stars including Lucie 55 and Top Gun. With 20 years of consistent production of Grand Prix horses, champion young stock, and licensed sons, Christ is a highly reliable sire whose offspring excel in movement strength, collection ability, and competitive success at the highest levels of international dressage.
