Desperados black Hanoverian Stallion by ( De Niro / Wolkenstein II [ Matcho AA ]) born in 2001, standing approximately 16.3 hands.

On his way to stardom

"I have never had such a good horse!“ were the unambiguous words from Falk Rosenbauer, who presently storms the charts with Desperados. Not only in breeding but also in sport, Desperados has developed into one of those "extra class" stallions. Desperados was a premium stallion at the Hanoverian December licensing in 2004 in Verden. He had taken his 30-day test before in Schlieckau, finishing with the highest scores (including a 9.5 for his canter and two times a 9.0 from the guest riders). In 2004, after having won tests for young riding horses (including a Hanoverian inspection for the Bundeschampionat) he placed third at the Bundeschampionat in the class for three-year old stallions. On record are numerous victories in tests for young riding horses, including the 2004 Hanoverian Championships in Verden, was well as bronze twice at the Bundeschampionat in Warendorf in 2004 as well as 2005. Selectively promoted by Falk Rosenbauer, first and other high placings in St. Georg and Intermédiaire I were added, also in Hamburg and Neumünster against strong international competition. They were also successful participants in the 2009 Nürnberg Burgpokal Final.

Desperados is as good as a bank when it comes to breeding. His foals have the traits that are in demand – chic, type and very good movements. He has sired foals that reached the absolute top at many foal shows and auctions all over Germany. His son, Desert Storm, was the star in the foal collection at the Fall Elite Auction in Vechta in 2008, selling for a top price of 28,500 Euros. High prices of 26,000 Euros (Verden 2008) and even 46,000 Euros (Vechta 2008) were the price tags on other highlights. In 2009 his first sons, Destano, Derby Dancer and Double Joy were licensed and received widespread attention. His sire, De Niro, was highly successful in the Grand Prix dressage ring and later racked up one victory after the other – in Nations Cups, the German Derby and in the Championships for Professional German Riders. His dam, Wie Musik, is by Wolkenstein II. A full sister of his dam, Wie Platine, took third place in the 2001 Bundeschampionat. A half-brother, Welfenkönig (by Welfenlöwe), won dressage tests up to medium (M) level. Through Matcho AA and Pik König you rind heroes from the traditional Oberndorf Station on the dam's side of the pedigree. The black, French Anglo-Arabian stallion, Matcho AA, won his stallion performance test and is a sire of pronounced versatility. Pik König, the third link in his chain of ancestors, has gained a reputation as a dressage horse and jumper maker of the very first order. The Hanoverian dam line 53/Foersaci (by Förstergruß I-Lorenz-Amandus-Lorval-Alpenprinz-Julius-Süd-Y. Gameboy) is also the origin of the licensed stallions Condiro, Don Marcello, Don Placido (AUT), Foster, Limonit and Mister A, Moseltal and Rocko Barocko as well as the successful show jumpers, Akrobat/Henrike Konzag and Rosalinde/Eric Lamaze/CDN.
