Glamourdale — a stallion of world-class caliber.

Glamourdale is sired by Lord Leatherdale out of the mare Thuja, by the legendary Negro — sire of Olympic champion Valegro. This pedigree combines strength, powerful hindquarters, a natural ability for collection, elasticity, and an exceptional work ethic.

‍

From a young age, Glamourdale caught the attention 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 breeding achievements are equally impressive.

‍

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 excellent rideability.

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

Flyana is a broodmare who combines a modern dressage type with elegance, lightness, and world-class genetics. She passes on a noble type, correct conformation, quality movement, and a modern sport horse frame to her offspring. Her foals are consistently among the top-priced horses at Status Stud Farm, confirming her high breeding value. Flyana’s daughters are a promising addition to the farm’s breeding program and continue her strong maternal line.

‍

Flyana’s sire is For Romance I OLD, the 2011 Oldenburg Verband licensing champion, main premium winner, and 2019 VTV Dressage Stallion of the Year. In sport, he successfully competed at the Grand Prix level under Swedish rider Therese Nilshagen.

‍

The breeding value of For Romance I has only been confirmed over the years by the performance of his adult offspring. He has sired over 30 licensed sons, a significant number of which were premium-awarded, as well as more than 80 premium mares and numerous championship winners. His notable sons include licensing champions Fashion in Black and Feuerwerk, stallion performance test winners Ferrero and Fidelio Royal, and the premium-awarded For Final OLD.

‍

Offspring of For Romance I consistently command high prices at European auctions. His daughter Florentina sold for €200,000, the foal For Diamond became the top lot at the Oldenburg Elite Auction for €181,000, and Fiorissimo sold for €81,000. The high demand for For Romance I's genetics has persisted for many years, and his current stud fee is €1,700.

‍

For Romance I himself is by Fürst Romancier, a successful sport sire who placed fourth at the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses and has produced over 35 licensed sons and more than 200 premium-awarded daughters. The maternal line of For Romance I traces back to the elite mare Gesina, the dam of numerous licensed stallions, champions, and international-level sport horses. His full sister, Fasine OLD, was an Oldenburg Champion, Bundeschampionat winner, and sold at the P.S.I. auction for €1.3 million.

‍

Flyana's dam is the large, noble mare Agata, a daughter of the Thoroughbred stallion General xx. Through General xx, a quarter of Flyana's pedigree is represented by the Thoroughbred bloodline of Dark Ronald xx, one of the foundational sires of European sport horse breeding. It was through Dark Ronald xx that many modern warmblood lines were formed, particularly in Germany, and his genetics remain widely represented in the pedigrees of successful dressage and show jumping horses today. The presence of high-quality Thoroughbred blood in a pedigree is always a significant advantage; it enhances a horse's work ethic and refinement, while the combination of this proven Thoroughbred line with modern dressage genetics imparts nobility, lightness, stamina, and a big heart to the offspring.
