Glamourdale — one of the world's top stallions today.

Glamourdale is by Lord Leatherdale out of the mare Thuja, by the legendary Negro—sire of Olympic champion Valegro. This pedigree combines power, a strong hindquarter mechanism, a natural ability to collect, elasticity, and an exceptional work ethic.

‍

From a young age, Glamourdale caught the eye of experts, becoming the 2014 KWPN Licensing Champion and reserve winner of the KWPN performance test. Even then, the stallion demonstrated exceptional movement quality, balance, and a natural talent for dressage.

His true international breakthrough came in 2018 when, under the saddle of Charlotte Fry, Glamourdale became the World Champion for 7-year-old dressage horses at the World Championships in Ermelo.

‍

The most successful phase of his sporting career has been his performance at the highest international level. At the 2022 FEI World Championships in Herning, Glamourdale won two individual gold medals—in the Grand Prix Special (82.508%) and the Grand Prix Freestyle (90.654%)—as well as team silver with the British team.

In 2023, the pair of Charlotte Fry and Glamourdale won team gold at the European Championships and individual silver in the Freestyle with a score of 92.379%.

At the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, Glamourdale became a double bronze medalist in both the individual and team events.

In 2025, the stallion won the FEI World Cup Final and topped the WBFSH world ranking for dressage horses.

‍

Glamourdale’s offspring are characterized by a modern sport type, powerful hindquarters, active engagement, elasticity, high-quality trot, strong canter, natural ability for collection, and a high level of rideability.

Many breeders also note his ability to consistently pass on charisma, expression, and a special presence under saddle.

‍

Today, Glamourdale is rightfully considered one of the most influential sires of the new generation in world dressage. His name appears regularly in the pedigrees of the best young horses in Europe and beyond. Most importantly, Glamourdale has demonstrated consistently high sporting results on the world stage for many years, proving his outstanding physical and mental capabilities, robust health, endurance, and true competitive spirit. His long-standing popularity among breeders is a testament to the heritability of his fundamental qualities.

Tafty ST — a representative of the Totilas × Fürstenball bloodline cross. This mare was bred and raised at Status Stud Farm. Her pedigree combines two of the most influential modern dressage lines in the world, which have shaped the direction of international sport horse breeding for many years.

‍

Tafty ST’s sire is the legendary Totilas — a three-time World Equestrian Games champion, holder of three world records, and one of the most influential sires in modern dressage. He ranked seventh in the WBFSH world sire rankings, and his list of successful sport offspring continues to grow with new Grand Prix level horses.

‍

Among them are Glock’s Toto Jr. N.O.P., Total Hope OLD, Te Quiero SF, Birkhof’s Topas FBW, Genuine, and others. Totilas has sired nearly 30 licensed sons, and his offspring remain in consistently high demand at leading European auctions, where individual foals have sold for 200,000, 105,000, and 90,000 euros.

‍

Tafty ST is out of Felicita, one of the most valuable broodmares at Status Stud Farm. Her sire, Fürstenball, was the Oldenburg licensing champion, a performance test winner with a dressage index of 154.98, and a successful Prix St. Georges competitor. Today, Fürstenball has sired over 90 licensed stallions, approximately 170 premium mares, and more than 80 horses competing at the S-level and above.

‍

His offspring are regular licensing champions, Bundeschampionat winners, and finalists at the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses, with many competing successfully at the international Grand Prix level. They also demonstrate exceptional commercial value: Fürst Bayram OLD sold for approximately €1.7 million, Farrell for €460,000, and Follow Me OLD for €400,000.

‍

On her dam's side, Tafty ST descends from the mare Agra, one of the foundation mares at Status Stud Farm. This family has become one of the most influential in our breeding program. Agra’s daughters, granddaughters, and great-granddaughters now make up a significant portion of our broodmare herd, and their offspring consistently prove their high breeding value and remain in high demand among buyers.

‍

Tafty ST holds a special place at our stud. Throughout our breeding history at Status Stud Farm, we have produced only two daughters of Totilas, both of which we have retained for our breeding program. Gaia ST was the first foal and the first daughter of Tafty ST.

‍

We awaited this cross with great anticipation, as the Totilas × Fürstenball combination has long been considered one of the most successful and proven pairings in European dressage breeding. With the addition of Glamourdale, the concentration of top-tier bloodlines is truly impressive! The birth of Gaia ST marked a significant milestone in our breeding program, and we are delighted to watch her development.
