SIRE:
JOHNSON (JAZZ X FLEMMINGH)
Ridden by Hans Peter Minderhoud, Glock’s Johnson TN has risen to be one of world’s best combinations in dressage. The son of Jazz is placed second on the FEI World Ranking, won the golden team medal and individual bronze at the European Championships in Aachen. “His outstanding attitude has made the greatest difference at the highest level. Even if he is almost unable to do something, Johnson will do it for you anyhow”, rider Hans Peter Minderhoud says about his number one horse. “When Johnson enters the ring, all people will sit up. He truly is a king!”
After the phenomenal performances of Johnson in Aachen last year, you could almost forget the bronze team medal at the World Equestrian Games in Caen. And of course the victories in the Grand Prix and Grand Prix Spécial in Treffen, the second placings in the Grand Prix and Grand Prix Freestyle in Rotterdam, et cetera.
As a sire, Johnson seems to walk in the footsteps of his sire Jazz and grandsire Flemmingh. Jazz himself performed at Grand Prix level and for many years has been among world’s best dressage sires on the WBFSH Sire Ranking. Through offspring like Krack C and Lingh, also Flemmingh has left its mark on today’s breeding of dressage horses. The offspring of Johnson make great impressions on all levels as well. The approved stallion Meggle’s Boston (Hendrik Lochthowe) already performs at Grand Prix level, just like Hexagon’s Double Dutch, Ben Johnson and Boston STH.
​
DAM: By Santano
​
The stallion Santano, born in 2002, won the Pavo Cup 2006 under the four-year-olds, where Johnson was reserve champion. This was followed by a nasty injury for the KWPN and Oldenburg approved Santano, therefore he couldn't stay in sports and focused on breeding. Santano is widely used for blood distribution within the KWPN and brings good offspring with a fine cooperative character and a typical large step. You see his offspring frequently in sports like Denzel (mv Ferro) who has been placed as first reserve for the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses in Verden. This single grey of Santano, previously also got good results in the Pavo Cup, will be released by his regular rider Alex Silfhout in sports.
