Le Santo, a modern type stallion consistently producing very athletic and trainable offspring who are consistently proving their abilities in the show arena.

Although started as a Jumper, a decision was made to start training him as a serious Dressage prospect in 1996, at the age of 13.   Due to his talent and athletic abilities, Le Santo was able to make his debut in Dressage at Fourth  Level and Prix St. Georges at the DDC Spring Show of 1998, Las Colinas, Texas, winning his class at age 15, and with only 21 months after being put into full time Dressage training!!  The fact that he was able to do this at this age is truly remarkable and speaks for his trainability, attitude and disposition.

Le Santo has continued to successfully climb the Dressage ladder and competed quite nicely at PSG and Intermediate I during the 1999 show year.

Le Santo, a recognized Holsteiner Stallion by the legendary Landgraf I, is described as "the ideal modern sporthorse."

Fast becoming a legend in his own time, Le Santo stamps his foals indelibly with powerful movement, extraordinary athletic abilities, remarkable dispositions, and sound minds.  His offspring are well noted for being easy to break and  ride.

In spite the fact that there are now more horses in international competition than ever before, only one breed has the versatility and athleticism to consistently capture more than 35% of the prizes in world-class horse show competition - though comprising only 6% of the participants. This is the magnificent Holsteiner.  He is among the leading Holsteiner Sires in America and has produced more premium foals and mares than any other Stallion.  Like him, his get consistently excel in show jumping, dressage, and driving.  As a result of this, he was named the American Holsteiner Performance Sire of the Year for 1999.
