Franklin is an outstanding KWPN stallion, licensing champion, stallion performance test winner, and a successful Grand Prix level sport horse. For his significant influence on modern dressage breeding, he was awarded the title of Elite Stallion in Denmark.
Franklin is a son of the legendary Ampère and combines the bloodlines of Ferro and Flemmingh – two of the most influential sires in modern dressage breeding.
In the stallion performance test, Franklin received:
10 for trot, 9.5 for canter, and 9 for rideability. Judges described Franklin as "an honest, reliable, and sensitive stallion who willingly works with his rider."
Franklin is known for his powerful heredity and consistently passes on to his offspring a modern sport type, a strong canter, active hind leg engagement, elastic movements, and a high level of rideability.
Among Franklin's sporting achievements:
— KWPN licensing champion
— stallion performance test winner
— KWPN champion for 5-year-old horses
— finalist at the World Championships for Young Horses
— successful international Small Tour and Grand Prix level stallion.
Franklin's offspring successfully compete at Grand Prix level, and among his descendants are numerous licensed stallions, winners of licensings, championships, and prestigious European auctions.
Among his most famous licensed sons are: Franklin’s Love PS, Kadans, Feinsten, Fair Deal, Slangerupgaard’s Flottenheimer, Straight Horse Finest Hour, Franzé.
Among Franklin's successful sport horses are: Fendi / Sönke Rothenberger, Francis Drake OLD, Elektra di Fonte Abeti, Franklin Hit, Mambeau B.
Franklin's daughter, Faretti, received a gold medal at the Elite Mare Show in Denmark and was recognized as the country's best dressage mare. In 2017, she was sold at the Nordic International Sales Auction for an impressive 150,000 Euros. Her full sister, Faretti II, also became a top lot at the auction the following year.
In 2020, Franklin's filly Fascination was sold at the Schockemöhle/Helgstrand online auction for 60,000 Euros.
Today, Franklin is considered one of the most influential stallions in modern European dressage breeding, and his offspring consistently demonstrate a high level of sport performance, quality of movement, and commercial value.

Arcadia is a large, well-bred, and very beautiful bay mare, born at Status Stud Farm. She combined valuable sport genetics, a distinctive type, and strong maternal potential, which was later confirmed by her offspring. Arcadia is the daughter of the stallion Sandro’s Diamant — son of the legendary Sandro Hit, one of the most influential stallions in modern dressage breeding and a true founder of a distinct sport line. Sandro Hit's descendants have remained among the most successful horses in sport, breeding, and international development for years.
Sandro’s Diamant was actively used in breeding in Ukraine and became an important improver of the Ukrainian riding horse breed. His descendants successfully competed up to Grand Prix level, and numerous daughters remained in the breeding stock of Ukrainian stud farms, continuing the development of the country's sport horse breeding.
On her dam's side, Arcadia descends from the mare Agra — a valuable broodmare whose line has proven its high breeding quality over the years. Today, several of Agra's daughters and granddaughters continue to work in the breeding stock of Status Stud Farm, consistently passing on sport potential, correct type, quality movements, and good temperament to their offspring. Descendants of this maternal line successfully perform on both Ukrainian and European sport arenas.
In her lifetime, Arcadia managed to produce only two foals before her tragic death. However, even this was enough to leave an exceptionally valuable mark on the stud's breeding program. One of her daughters was the mare Franka Diamond ST — a mare considered truly extraordinary and one of the most valuable broodmares at Status Stud Farm.
