Velantis is an exciting choice for breeders. His pedigree is highly sought after in the European breeding scene. Horses carrying his lines show quality, ridability and are sold at record prices. In 2022, Vitalis and Floriscount produced numerous top licensing candidates and sales for several European breed societies. Besides the high scores and rapid ascent to top performance, the rideability and ease in which they adapt to their environment is unequaled, making these young horses fantastic for anyone to ride and own. Velantis is true to his pedigree–focused, intelligent and a quick learner no matter what is asked of him. In his debut season, Velantis received scores in the 70-80% range, winning both the California Dressage Society (CDS) and USDF Open Training Level Championship at the California Annual Show. This success was followed by his stallion licensing, scoring 8.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.0, 8.0 with a 7.9 overall, ranking him in the top five in North America in 2022. Velantis defended both championship titles at the California Annual Show, earning blue ribbons for both CDS and USDF in the First Level Open division in 2023. Throughout the 2023 season, Velantis earned top scores as high as 87.5% in the FEI 5-year-old tests, making him a top qualifier for the Festival of Champions USDF’s Young Horse National Championships. Velantis’s numerous scores above 80% in the FEI classes fulfilled his performance requirements, granting him lifetime breeding approval. An exciting first foal crop is arriving in 2024.
