Fontaine TN

Biography

Born in 2015, Fontaine TN is a Hannoverian-bred dressage stallion by Finest (Fürstenball × Donnerhall) and out of the mare Sky by Samarant. His pedigree blends some of the most successful German dressage bloodlines, including Fürstenball, Sandro Hit, Weltmeyer and Brentano II, creating a powerful combination of elasticity, rideability and expressive movement. One of Fontaine’s major breeding advantages is that he is free from many heavily used Dutch dressage lines such as Jazz, Flemmingh and Gribaldi, making him a valuable outcross stallion for modern dressage breeding. Fontaine TN impressed early during his stallion testing and performance evaluation, finishing second in the Adelheidsdorf performance test with outstanding scores for temperament, willingness to work and rideability. His damline also carries strong sport credentials: both his dam Sky and granddam Gilette earned the prestigious Staatspremie title, and Sky is a half-sister to the international Small Tour dressage horse Raptor 3. Fontaine TN has since developed into a promising sport and breeding stallion, producing offspring known for their size, expression and excellent basic gaits.
