Sire Details

---

This eye-catching stallion brings a fresh pedigree, modern type, and top potential for sport. Frisantos earned 9's for character and work ethic at his 14-day test. He has completed his stallion testing via the Sport Test option and his canter and rideability were well-rewarded highlights. Under Michael Bragdell, he was the named Alternate for the USEF Young Horse National Championships and consistently earned scores in the 70's at First Level in 2019. Frisantos' sire is the highly popular Franziskus who is winning top ribbons at prestigious CDIs such as Aachen and Wiesebaden with Ingrid Klimke. Franziskus descends from an established line of Grand Prix horses. Grandsire Fidertanz is currently ranked 7th on the WBFSH Dressage Sire rankings and his offspring are highly praised by riders. Frisantos' dam, the States Premium mare Esprina, adds a valuable and versatile pedigree that provides a needed fresh outcross. Her oldest offspring are competing well in dressage and she is already the granddam to three approved stallions. Highlighting her versatility, Esprina is also approved into the Hanoverian Jumper Breeding Program. Esprina's sire Espri was the 1995 Hanoverian Stallion of the Year and has sired Olympic competitors in both show jumping and dressage. The first Frisantos' foals show his charm and expression and we're excited to welcome his first foals through Hilltop Farm in the spring of 2020. His fertility has been excellent and our enthusiasm for this young stallion is high.
