Destano

Information

About - Destano is an exciting young stallion with an excellent pedigree, with both sides renowned for their good temperaments. He is a good-sized stallion with excellent confirmation and a modern stamp. 

Performance - In his performance test, Destano received outstanding scores for both gaits and rideability, and he is now competing successfully at advanced level. In November 2011, he won the Main Premium at the Oldenburg Stallion licensing - the award for the 4-year-old stallion judged to have produced the best first foal crop of the year. Subsequently he covered nearly 500 mares in Germany the following year - a real vote of confidence from breeders.

Sire - His sire Deperados FRH is the most successful currently-competing stallion in the world (FEI Rankings, Feb 2017). He has won nine championship medals, among them three team golds and two individual silvers, and has finished in the top five on 91% of his international starts, recording scores of over 88%. Grand-sire De Niro is renowned for produced grand prix horses with excellent hind legs and ability for collection, and in 2016 he topped the WBFSH Sire Rankings for the fourth time. 

Damline - Damsire Brentano II was a foundation stallion for the Hanoverian breed before his death in 2010. The stallions Garibaldi I and II, Wolkenstein I and II, Beltain (sire of Belissimo M) and Beauvalais, all belong to his family. He was crowned 'Stallion of the Year' by the Hanover Verband in 2003 in recognition of his outstanding contribution as a breeding stallion. Brentano II won his own licensing and was fourth at the Bundeschampionat, and stood at the State Stud Celle for many years. His daughter Poesie produced World and Bundeschampion Poetin, who sold for €2.5million as a six-year-old and has since been cloned. The mother line has also given rise to the stallions Argentan I and II;  Emma Hindle's Lancet; and the show jumpers Cantus and Lansing. 

Progeny - Destano has 13 licensed sons, including the very exciting Dark Sensation and the premium stallion Desperaux.
