KWPN Breeding Designation

KWPN Approved

Giovanni’s dressage career started with the top score in the KWPN Performance test: 86 points. He scored an 8 for walk and trot, a 9.5 for canter, a 8.5 for suppleness, a 9 for self carriage and rideability and a 8.5 for dressage potential. The KWPN stallion committee described him as follows:

“Giovanni is an honest and reliable stallion with a very good temperament. The stallion is very willing to work and is very easy to work with. The walk is clear-cut with good scope. The trot is expressive, has good scope and the hind legs come powerfully under the body. The canter is uphill, very powerful with very good carriage and scope. Giovanni moves with good to very good elasticity and with good to very good self-carriage and balance. As a dressage horse Giovanni is talented to very talented and gives his rider a very good feeling.”

Breeding Advice

From his KWPN foal report:

“Giovanni showed a uniform collection of well-developed foals. The walk has good scope. The trot is light-footed and has good scope, power and balance. The foals canter easily with hind legs being brought under well. The canter has good scope, power and balance.”

“In dressage horse breeding Giovanni can add movement and can improve on a mare’s canter and temperament.”

Giovanni was purchased by Ingrid Malan Ockhuisen as a 4-year-old and placed in training by dressage rider Franka Loos.

With Franka, Giovanni won the KWPN performance test in 2014 and subsequently performed very well in the PAVO Cup. He ended in 5th place with an 8 for the walk, 9 for the trot, 9,5 for the canter and 9’s for both harmony between horse and rider and potential as a dressage horse. The Stallion Competition was also successfully completed with good scores: he won the first leg of the 2017-2018 KWPN Stallion Competition in Ermelo with 84 points. Judge Sanders praised Giovanni’s engagement from behind in trot and his power in canter. Giovanni also won the third leg of the 2017-2018 KWPN Stallion Competition with 82 points.

In the Summer of 2018, he made his debut as a 7-year-old in the Small Tour. He competed at the World Championship for Young Dressage Horses in 2018 where he achieved a splendid fifth place with a 78.521% score.

“The powerful and chunky liver chestnut is a powerhouse mover, just like his stable mate Glamourdale and there are many similarities between the two horses. The stallion showed a good collected walk.  The trot had much power and spring.”

In 2019, Giovanni and Franka Loos won the Prix St. Georges in Nispen with 69,04%. In 2021, he was ready for the Grand Prix but unfortunately sustained an injury that was rehabbed but he couldn’t be competed at the top levels anymore.
