Vito

Biography

From the Dam Line of Olympic Mare Sunrise A premium stallion with a strong performance pedigree and impressive presence — described by the licensing commission as an outstanding dressage prospect with correct conformation, a stable foundation, and powerful movement highlights, especially in the canter. At the Hanoverian licensing, Olympic gold medallist Heike Kemmer praised him as a top-class prospect and sent him on his honorary lap — a clear favourite already identified by breeders during the preliminary selection. Vito descends from the first crop of the Bundeschampion and Oldenburg Champion Viva Vitalis, whose career combines sport success and proven breeding quality: - Mecklenburg Licensing Champion (2021) - Vice Reserve Champion Performance Test Schlieckau (8.62; Canter 9.5; Overall Impression 9.0) - Multiple victories in young horse classes - Bronze medal at the Bundeschampionat (4-year-old stallions) with 9.5 for canter - 2024 Young Horse Champion Moritzburg (8.8) - 2025: Multiple wins at Dressage Horse Tests (Ø 9.0), Gold at the Oldenburg Championships (8.56), and dominant victory at the Bundeschampionat (6-year-old dressage horses; Canter 9.5; Perspective 9.3; Walk 8.5) Viva Vitalis has already produced high-priced auction highlights, premium show winners, and licensed sons — confirming strong genetic transmission.
