The very talented Ramiro son Saros has won almost everything as a young horse. At the age of seven he had already gained more than 60 victories and six titles; he was fourth in the world championships in Verden, Belgian champion Prix St.-Georges, national champion LRV heavy at the age of six and winner of the super final LRV-KBRSF. At the age of seven he won the prestigious international title “Best Young Stallion” in Zwolle (NL)..

This great and perfectly shaped stallion descends from the world famous hallmark stallion Ramiro, a legendary world testator who, as on of the very few, has given us both top dressage horses and jumpers.

The black, German bred mother Erle, brought not less than 5 top dressage horses and has even performed on S-level. She was national mare champion three times and received the elite predicate for reasons of her own performances and inheritance.

In breeding, Saros is a piece of luck: a lot of his foals and young offspring gain splendid places of honour in various contests. They attract the attention by their mostly black color (never chestnut), front, size, superb character and extra movements. Furthermore, most of them are good jumpers. In 2003 Saros gave us the national BWP foal champion: Don Saros.

In 2002, after four years of service, he received a sublime descendants’ report. On the basis of inheritance qualities he has a very high exterior index of 188 (first place in 2002 and 2003). At the age of seven Saros already obtained the strongly desired elite predicate.

Saros products are in great demand and are often sold at high prices both here and abroad.
