Belgrade DKS Becomes a licensed AES Stallion!

BELGRADE DKS (Darco x Montender) is now an AES licenced stallion!

Born in 2018 (on 1st of April, no less), this guy is strong and gentle at the same time. During the summer we worked him from the ground and he demonstrated a great attitude and a will to learn. Powerful jump and respect for the fence were also evident from the first try.

In late summer he went on for a learning trip to two specialized stables, with two different goals: one, to accept the rider and two, to get ready for licensing. He left the first yard with flying colors, gladly accepting the rider and proceeded to the second, where he concluded his training by getting himself licensed!

During this training trip (he is now in the field again, horsing around with his friends) he has confirmed what we saw from the beginning: great intelligence, workmanlike attitude and excellent jumping skills!

This comes as no surprise, knowing that his father is great Darco (Lugano van la Roche x Codex) one of the most influential stallions of today, while his grandmother is Belle Clara DKS (Concorde x Budweiser 3), a mare that competed up to 1.50 and won so many times in the USA. Based on those credentials, his dam, Belle Starr DKS (Montender x Concorde) entered our breeding program directly and gave us this lovely colt, her first.

Named after DK’s home town, Belgrade DKS is a fifth generation of horses from the same dam-line that Dejan has worked with and we were charmed by him from the beginning.

That he is now a licensed stallion makes us ever so proud!
