Francisco Bay VSR (Friekkie) is a modern, elegant Hanoverian gelding. DOB: 22 Sep 2021. His breeding combines the famous European bloodlines of Franklin, Londonderry and Weltmeyer with an emphasis on Dressage. His Sire Fusionist, licensed son of Franklin is a maximally upwardly constructed stallion and was able to convince and win over many breeders during his first appearances under saddle. He particularly impresses with his stability in the top line and his steady rhythm. His dynamism and mobility in the hind leg is currently the benchmark in this area and can be described as extraordinary. His character impresses with his overview and fearlessness. As such he passes his traits on to his progeny.
Fusionist has now been placed highly in L level dressage horse tests several times. He is beautifully shaped and equipped with dynamic, powerful movement and an obove average step. He delighted the German State Stud and the expert audience at his licensing in 2020 and presented himself with a very confident gallop and outstanding trot at his sport test in Verden. His scores were correspondingly high with a 9.5 for trot and a 9.0 for rideability and overall impression. The score of his canter was impressive at 8.7 and he received an 8.2 for his rhythmic step. With a final score of 8.88, Fusionist was winner of the four year old tests.
His dam carries the lines of Londonderry and Weltmeyer, who is a legend in his own right.
Francisco Bay's half brother, Scarlatti Mio VSR currently is competeing successfully under Emma Flavelle-Watts and I expect him to achieve a high success level as well. Friekkie is registered with the Hanoverian Horse Society of Australia and comes with certified passport.
