Fairbanks, now fully approved by AHS and HV in 2023, was champion of the 2009 Oldenburg Stallion Licensing in Vechta, Germany. He became the crowd favorite with his spectacular performance, extravagant gaits, impressive jumping ability and willing temperament. Fairbanks completed his 30-day test, placing third out of 49 stallions with an overall score of 8.74. He repeated this success in 2011 at his 70- day test. He was the only stallion to score over 100 in both jumping and dressage. His sire, Flemmingh, a successful dressage stallion in the Netherlands, sired international dressage horses, Krack C and Lingh. Fairbanks’ dam, SPS Identify, was highly praised at her mare performance test. Damsire, Inselfürst, won his stallion test and successfully showed in Advanced Level dressage. Fairbanks’ first foal crop in 2011 in Germany, were representative of himself: large expressive foals with long lines, beautiful heads and necks, and outstanding movement. As a result, Fairbanks was awarded Premium, due to his exceptional stallion test results, impressive foals and overall development as a top breeding stallion. This was remarkable, as he was not primarily breeding in the main Oldenburg region and, therefore, had to stand up to strong competition for this award. He has sired many Elite/Premium foals. Fairbanks’ son, Flair Royal, was twice French Young Horse Champion, and another son (Fairbanks-Paragon-Jazz) was selected for the Danish stallion grading. U.S. breeders comment on the modern type and wonderful temperament he consistently produces for dressage, hunter and eventing sport horses.
