Pedigree
Destacado FRH celebrated several international victories and placings in the GP and GPS with Matthias Alexander Rath in 2023, including victories in the GP and the freestyle in Crozet (FRA) and Wroclaw (POL).
The pair managed to break the 80% mark for the first time at the start of the show season in January 2024. In Basel (SUI), they placed third in the GP freestyle with 81.75%. Due to the successful 2023 show season, Destacado FRH and Matthias Alexander Rath were appointed to the Olympic dressage squad.
Destacado is characterized by great lines and important parts. Three equally outstanding basic gaits predestine him as a dressage specialist. His always confident and motivated appearance is impressive, always uphill with a high degree of balance. His natural, big and always balanced walk in particular gives him a unique position in dressage horse breeding.
His offspring stand in his outstanding type with a pronounced, muscular neck and a topline predestined for riding horses. His sire Desperados was one of the most successful dressage horses in the world and a medal guarantor for the German championship team. The dam Libella had previously produced two other licensed sons, Bellini (by Bentley) and First Diamond (by First Dance). Her sire Londonderry was a licensing winner, Bundeschampion and took part successfully in the Bundeschampionat in Warendorf on several other occasions.
“The good Lord couldn't give a horse a better stride. This stallion brings a lot to the table. If he were a human, I would say that he always sits in the front row at school and always speaks up as soon as the teacher asks a question. A real model pupil. I'm sure we'll see this horse at Grand Prix level in the not-so-distant future.”
