Sandro Hit, the sire of Sunny Boy, Samarant, San Amour and Sir Donnerhall, is a 17H 1993 black stallion by Sandro Song out of Elite Mare Loetta by Ramino. Sandro Hit is proving to be an extremely successful stallion, both in dressage competition and as a sire of numerous top foals. In 1999 he became Six Year Old Dressage Horse World Champion, and winner at the German Federal Championships in Warendorf. Best Young Stallion of 2000 is just one of the titles he won that year. As many as 10 licensed sons came out of his first foal crop, and his daughter, Poetin, was the winner of the 3 year old mare and gelding section at the German Federal Championships in 2000. Poetin, who became World Champion and Bundeschampion for 2003 and has been described as ...' one of the most beautiful and talented dressage horses of this decade' ... sold for a World Record price of € 2,500,000 at auction in 2003. Sandro Hit continues to earn points through his progeny: in the dressage horse classes, not only does he have the highest index of 153 in the whole of Germany but the highest security (accuracy or consistency) rate at 88%. In 2001, five of the top 10 foals in Germany were by Sandro Hit. In 2001 he sired the Federal Champion and two Vice Champions. For years his offspring have been winning medals at the National Young Horse Championships, for example Show Star, National Young Horse Champion 2001 and Vice-Champion 2002. In 2002 alone, he produced two Champion stallions, Sir Wilson and Stedinger. A number of his offspring attained peak prices at different European auction sites: Starlett, at DM 140,000 was the top of the broodmares and the overall top priced Schatzinsel at the 2000 Vechta spring auction. At multiple auctions, he has produced one top foal after another. At the 2002 Spring auction in Vechta his son, Super Star, sold for over € 250,000. Sandro Hit's progeny are causing a sales sensation wherever they appear: in The Netherlands in 2003, Sandritana Olympia was the most expensive foal, she was sold for € 31,000. He also sired the most expensive foal in England. His sire, Sandro Song was Oldenburger Champion Young Stallion and Main Premium Champion. The dam’s sire Ramino was Stallion Performance Test Champion and later on five times Italian Champion. His dam, Elite Mare, Loretta also produced the reigning Vice-World Champion and Vice-National Young Horse Champion, Diamond Hit, and the highly elegant 1c premium stallion, Royal Hit. Sandro Hit is owned by Paul Schockemoehle in Germany. |
