St. Schufro

St. Schufro was named premium stallion at his Hanoverian licensing in 2013, champion at his Danish 35-day test in 2014 with 864.5 points, and champion stallion for 4-year-olds at the Danish Warmblood stallion licensing in Herning in 2015.

Ridden by Allan Grøn as a 4-, 5- and 6-year-old, he won the danish championship qualification with a total score of well over 9 and scored 9.8 in walk, trot and canter as well as rideability!

Today, St. Schufro is ridden by Nanna Skodborg Merrald, and since their debut in 2018 the pair has had tremendous success at both national and internation competitions in the classes MA, Prix St. Georges, Intermediaire I, Intermediaire II and now also Grand Prix.

– St. Schufro is a real pleaser and a great pleasure to work with every day. He  is fully concentrated on his work and his rider, and possesses unlimited talent. He is the sweetest, quietest and easiest stallion to deal with, and he has a very special ability to give a top performance.
– Nanna Skodborg Merrald, rider at Blue Hors

Blue Hors St. Schufro is characterized by a fantastic temperament with optimal on-off functionality, an energetic, spacious, and supple movement with excellent mechanics and an uphill tendency. He also possesses outstanding willingness to cooperate and rideability, and fortunately, he largely passes on these strong qualities to his offspring. He has been color gene tested and can only produce brown/black foals.

“St. Schufro is best suited for tall, type mares with good front and conformation. In return, he imparts captivating mechanics and fantastic rideability to his progeny”
– Martin Klavsen, breeding manager

Therefore, he often pairs well with tall and large-framed mares sired by stallions such as Blue Hors Zack, Blue Hors Hotline, and Blue Hors Romanov.

Blue Hors St. Schufro made a strong impression in breeding from an early age and delivers offspring each year which perform particularly well at shows and at auctions by virtue of their exceptional gaits.

One of his sons was licensed and sold for no less than 400,000 euros at the 2018 Hanoverian licensing in Verden. That same year, sons were licensed in Germany and Sweetnes, a daughter from his first crop of foals, was awarded the breeder’s medal in silver at the Danish Warmblood’s Elite Show after achieving one of the highest mare performance test scores nationwide.

Under Silje Bakken at the Blue Horse Dressage Championship final for 4-year-olds in 2019, St. Schufro daughter Sweetnes scored 8.5 overall with 9 in canter and potential. The pair was again brilliant at the DRF championship finals at Blue Hors, where Sweetnes was the best Danish Warmblood horse, winning the qualification and finishing 9th.

Three Blue Hors St. Schufro offspring – Sweetnes, Sporty Spice and St. Souci – qualified for the Danish Warmblood Young Horse Championship in March 2020 in Herning. And since then, lots of other offspring have followed in their footsteps.
