Canterbury Court
Sandro's Ace was discovered at the
Performance Plus Auction. He is a stunningly
beautiful horse with an elevated lofty trot,
uphill canter, true four-beat walk and a
sweet personality. His grandam and great-
grandam have both been awarded the
‘prestatie’ predicate with pure dressage
progeny. The international Grand Prix horse
Hiscox Devereaux (sire: Wagenaar) is a son
of great-grandam Inca. With the American
Robert Dover, Devereaux came individually
fifth at the World Championships 1994.  
Sandro's Ace is being trained and shown by
Jackie Eckhaus. His Fourth Level debut ride
with her scored a 66% . He is doing changes
to twos and looks to be ready for Prix St.
Georges in the summer of 2011.

There are not enough words to describe the
quality of
Sandro Hit both as a riding horse
and as a sire. He will certainly be
remembered as one of the best sires in
European Sporthorse breeding.

Sandro's Ace is also the full brother to the
KWPN Reserve Champion stallion Valeron
(

nl/selectsale/2005/paarden/video/16.wmv )
who was sold for 150,000 euros ($200,000)
as a three year old at the KWPN Select Sale.
Valeron passed his performance test with
straight 8.5's showing how consistent and
well balanced this line is. Valeron was also
long listed to compete for the Dutch Team
for the 2007 World Championship for Young
Dressage Horses.

The following video link shows Sandro's Ace
showing Fourth Level for the first time. He
scored 66.5%. Currently working all Prix St.
Georg movements he will make a great
partner for the ambitious rider.
