We are thrilled to announce that our Hanoverian Premium mare Sarotti EQ is in foal to the dressage stallion Franco Nero for 2026.
Franco Nero is a striking stallion by Franziskus, who competed with Ingrid Klimke very successfully at the highest international Grand Prix levels. A hidden gem within the breeding community since internationally Franco Nero might not be known by all breeders. However, in Germany the stallion Franco Nero is not only celebrated for his expressive movement and elasticity, but also for his outstanding temperament – qualities he reliably passes on to his offspring. Franco Nero impresses with offspring that are known for their modern type, excellent gaits, and rideability.
The dam, Sarotti EQ, is a Hanoverian Premium mare by Sarotti M. Sahne out of a proven Grand Cru damline. She was awarded a 9 for her fantastic rideability by the test rider and received an 8 for her impressive movement.
