His dam had a very successful BD career rarely scoring below 70%, she is by the legendary Sezuan who made history when he obtained a record breaking result of  ten scores of 10.0, more than meeting the high expectations placed on him. As a 3-year-old stallion, he won many European dressage experts’ hearts with his outstanding gaits and high rideability, and as a result he became one of Europe’s most popular young stallions. His extended walk is noted for its huge overtrack, and the trot is elastic, but it is the canter where Sezuan truly excels; at the seven-year-old World Championships, Eurodressage noted that Sezuan was “super-strong behind, sits well in the half pirouettes and produces very big flying changes,” also commenting the the canter was ground-covering and uphill. Sezuan’s young horse career has been outstanding. As World Young Horse Champion as a five-, six-, and seven-year-old, Sezuan is unbeaten at FEI Young Horse level, with scores of over 9.7 in the five- and six-year-old finals.
