ES Bonheur - 1993 Hanoverian Stallion

ES Bonheur
Hanoverian Stallion
1993 Dark Liver Chestnut, 16.3 hh
Brentano II X Rhonda (Roncalli xx)
Approved: Hanoverian Verband, AHS, German Oldenburg Verband and Oldenburg Horse Breeders Society.

Bonheur is the first approved son of the great Brentano II to stand in the United States. Brentano II was himself a successful Federal Championship competitor and was trained to advanced level and is highly esteemed as a hereditary transmitter of rideability. He sent one daughter, Brentina, and one son, Barclay II, to the Olympic Games in Dressage in Athens, 2004. The Thoroughbred, Roncalli xx, excellent in gait, has received very high ranking and is listed as one of the most successful representatives of his breed in the FN breeding value rating. His riding points are 147 and he is known to pass on good size and best character. In the third generation, the performance winner Glander, himself a full brother to the Olympic horse Grande Giso, embodies an interesting breeding variation to the top class Grande. The Trakehner, Garamond, who became the most influential sire of his generation in the Rhineland, introduced noble blood into the pedigree. The dam, Rhonda, descending from a great Hanoverian dynasty, produced the stallions Artist (Marbach State Stallion) and Augustiner (private stallion Hanover).

Bonheur absolved his stallion licensing test in Adelheidsdorf in 1996, achieving a top evaluation in rideability index. He received a 9 for his walk and an 8 for his trot and canter, also receiving 8's for his character and temperament. Bonheur won the Championship Stallion Show in Griesbeek, Holland in 1997 against very important competition, most of whom where 5 and 6 year olds. Bonheur qualified for the Bundeschampionat in 1998 as a five year old. As a six year old, he won the prestigious Nobilis Cup in Bremen, Germany. He has won numerous dressage shows in "S" Level, primarily in Holland since his previous owner lives close to Holland. His offspring are very elegant with tremendous rideability. They have shown high performance ability in dressage, bringing Bonheur's "Breeding Value" in dressage to the top 10% in Germany with an overall 150 points. In 2004, Ulla Salzgeber qualified her wonderful 6 year old Bonheur son, Bogner B, for the Bundeschampionat. Furthermore, Bonheur's 6 year old son was the Champion Young Horse in all of Finland in 2004.
My 2006 crop of Bonheur foals are exquisite and exceptional in every way. One colt was the Grand Champion Colt of the USDF Southern Series Championships! Two of his fillies were Champion Fillies at their respective AHS inspections. And more....

@TheBrendadale This is NOT Dressage as Bonheur would have done it! If this is truly Bonheur's offspring, the old man would be ashamed! Bonheur, and his rider Christilot, had such pride in themselves! Bonheur had such total extension, he was absolutely PROUD of himself! He was a beautiful horse!

[TheBrendadale]

I'm trying to find any reference whatsoever to Christilot Hansen, our award winning Canadian Dressage rider in the early 70's, and her beautiful horse Bonheur. They were an unrivalled team! Bonheur was totally the Canadian Horse of the Year, and Chris was his team mate. I can't believe that there's nothing on the net! I'm seeing offspring of Bonheur, but no recognition to the patriarch. Or to Christilot!

[EclypseSportHorses]

Great to be able to easily view the stallions we see advertised in print. Thanks for putting this online. He reminds me much of our Trakehner horses, you can really see it come through in him.
