Strong, solid, stunning and super sweet: a new dressage athlete is born!
Pedigree Sjaman is by For Romance x Rhodium (by Ferro) x Jazz x Doruto x Heidelberg x Amor and out of the same damline as World Champion Kjento, KWPN premium stallion Mowgli VOD and Danish approved stallion Lance VOD. You can read more about his stunning pedigree on the webpage of his mother Anouk.
His sire For Romance Istands at stud at Dressurleistungzentrum Lodbergen in Germany and is ridden by Swedish Olympic dressage rider Therese Nilshagen. "For Romance is the epitome of a model sire. Blessed with three excellent gaits, his canter and trot are exceptional, and his character is also remarkable. He stood out brilliantly in a strong lot of stallions at the 2011 Oldenburg licensing, and the enthusiastic spectators in Vechta gave him standing ovations. In 2019, the champion stallion, main premium winner, Bundeschampionat qualifier and Burg-Cup finalist was honored for this as VTV Dressage Stallion of the Year."

Character Sjaman is everyone's best friend and loves to hang around us humans. He was an easy foal right from the start and it was like he was born well-manared, respectful and polite. Like almost every foal, he was curious by nature and loved to get cuddles and scratches all over his body. He was also an ini mini tyni bit timide. The combination of these characteristics made it easy to trigger him to approach new things, to teach him new things, and reward him for it on the one hand, and to correct him with very small communication signs on the other hand.
When he left our stables, Sjaman wore his halter with pride and was also used to wearing a fly mask. He loved to be brushed all over his body. He gave his front and hind feet and went to the farrier twice. He was dewormed several times. We also learned him to trailerload without his mother. As he accompanied his mother when she had to go to the hospital to get her teeth done, and particapated at the KWPN foal inspection, Sjaman was used to travelling and had seen some places.
Off course, all of this wasn't possible without the help from his mother Anouk: without her being easy to handle and to trailerload, our work would be much more difficult. So thank you, sweet Anoukie, for being such a wonderful and helpful mother!
Conformation and looks Sjaman is a true power house! He was a solid type of foal, with a strong body, strong, long leggs and a beautiful big and long stallion neck. He's got the solid posture of his mother Anouk, combined with the long leggs of his sire For Romance. He'll mature to become a horse of +- 1m68.
Dressage prospect for Belgian rider Sjaman was sold to Belgian small tour rider Saskia Hambrouck. Thanks to his fantastic character, strong body type, bouncy moves and remarkable black colour, he definitely will make a stunning appearance in the dressage arena. We wish Saskia all the best with Sjaman and hope to hear more of them in the future!
