Sezuan (Archived)
Sezuan is a Triple World Champion a has a great number of internationally successful offspring. As the 2013 Danish Warmblood Stallion Champion, and the winner of Aage Ravn's trophy for best Danish-bred dressage stallion, Sezuan passed his stallion performance test in 2012 in Denmark with scores never awarded before. He was given the highest possible score of 10.0, ten times! In 2013 Sezuan continued his victory march and became the Danish Champion Stallion with 10.0 for his walk and canter, and 9.5 for his trot. Already as a three year old stallion, he won many European dressage experts' hearts with his outstanding gaits and high rideability. As a result Sezuan became one of Europe's most popular young stallions. Following this, he went on to become the best four-year-old dressage horse in Denmark at the competition in Odense. Here he was again awarded the dream score of 10.0 for his trot, canter and willingness to perform and 8.9 for his walk. With a total of 9.68, the title was rightfully his.
Following his WC-gold win in 2015 with the dream mark of 10.0, Sezuan is now a double Champion. In 2016 he won the qualifier for the WC-Final of seven-year-old dressage horses with a final score of 9.52. His rider Dorothee Schneider said of his win, "Everything was perfect. Sezuan is simply a "limelight hog", he wants to be the best, he wants to please."
From Sezuan's first crop of foals, the already highly recognized Oldenburg premium sire, Sam, and elsewhere throughout Europe his foals are setting high, new standards. One progeny, the colt Sirocco was auctioned off for a record-breaking price of 74,000 euros in 2014, and the filly Schwarze Schwalbe Macohl became the Danish Foal Champion of 2015.
In 2019, Sezuan was named Elite Stallion by the Danish Warmblood Society.
Eva Mueller and Sezuan son, So Unique (Sezuan / Donnerhall), topped the board in the 3-year old Stallion division of the 2018 Bundeschampionate and won with straight 9s across the board: 9 for walk, trot, canter, training and conformation. Another successful offspring of Sezuan, the mare Summersby II, was named Grand Champion of the 2018 Dressage at Devon Breed Show. In 2017, his son Secret placed first in the qualifier, and became runner up in the 2017 Bundeschampionate Dressage FInal.
In recent years, his sire Blue Hors Zack has proven his value as a breeding stallion with several approved sons and successful progeny. Blue Hors Zack's pedigree combines extremely valuable bloodlines through Rousseau, Jazz and Belisar and he himself was a Champion Stallion not only in the Netherlands but also in Denmark. In 2015 he was able to celebrate victories up to Inter I level with Daniel Bachmann Andersen of Denmark.
Sezuan's dam, Don Romina (by the world-famous Don Schufro who won OL-bronze under Andreas Helgstrand as part of the Danish national team) received the Danish Warmblood's breeder gold medal and was nominated best dressage mare of the year in 2006. Sezuan's grand dam is the bronze medal mare Laina.
