GLOCK’s Toto Jr. N.O.P. is one of the most successful sons of the legendary Totilas, having proven the value of his pedigree both in top-level sport and modern breeding. Today, Toto Jr. is an official stallion with the KWPN Keur predicate, awarded to him in 2025 for his outstanding achievements in sport and breeding.

The stallion was born in Germany and comes from a cross between two dressage stars: Totilas and Desperados. His sire, Totilas, is a three-time world champion, world record holder, and one of the most influential sires in modern dressage. On his dam's side, Toto Jr. carries the blood of Desperados FRH, a multiple European champion and Olympic medalist for the German team. This combination brings together athletic talent, powerful movement mechanics, a natural ability for collection, and a high level of rideability in a single pedigree.

Toto Jr.’s sporting career developed at the highest international level. Ridden by Edward Gal and later by Hans Peter Minderhoud, the stallion successfully competed at the Grand Prix level and was a member of the Dutch Olympic team. Over many years, Toto Jr. demonstrated consistent results on the international stage and earned a reputation as a reliable Grand Prix sport partner.

Approved for breeding by the KWPN and the top performer at the 2014 KWPN Spring Stallion Performance Testing, the nine-year-old stallion scored 80.68% in the Grand Prix Special under Edward Gal, becoming the only horse to break the 80% mark. The following day, the duo scored a massive 86.15% in the Freestyle. "When Toto Jr. was three, I already knew that if there was any horse that could run Totilas's Freestyle, it was him. I’ve been waiting seven years for this. It’s still bold, but I have a feeling that Toto Jr. might be even better than his father." Currently, the pair of Toto Jr. and Hans Peter Minderhoud compete consistently at the Grand Prix level, placing 16th at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games with a score of 72.664%.

His breeding achievements are equally impressive; for several years, he was one of the most widely used stallions in the Netherlands. He produced the highest number of dressage foals in 2017—369—and presented the largest number of foals at auction in 2017 and 2018. It is precisely because of his offspring that Toto Jr. received the highest breeding status, KWPN Keur Stallion. To date, the stallion is the sire of eight licensed KWPN sons, and his progeny consistently pass licensing in Europe's leading breeding associations. During the 2021 KWPN selection, eight of Toto Jr.'s sons were selected for further licensing stages, one of the best results among all sires that year. His offspring are highly popular, already achieving success in sport, with sons earning licenses, while the authority and influence of Toto Jr. himself continue to grow.

The quality of his daughters is a particularly important indicator. According to KWPN data, about 80% of Toto Jr.'s daughters receive the Ster status, 21% are voorlopig keur, and 36% are elite, which is an exceptionally high rate for a modern sire.

Toto Jr.’s offspring are successfully reaching the Grand Prix level. One notable descendant is Taminiau, the first son of Toto Jr. to compete at the Grand Prix level and one of the most promising dressage horses in the Netherlands. Other standout licensed and sport-performing descendants include O’Toto van de Wimphof, Inclusive, Inverness, Inspire, and other representatives of the line who are successfully competing in sport and breeding.

Breeders particularly value Toto Jr. for his ability to consistently pass on a modern sport type, expressive trot, active hindquarters, good canter, natural ability for collection, and a high level of rideability. His offspring are noted for their elasticity, harmonious conformation, and competitiveness both at licensing events and in the sports arena.

Today, GLOCK’s Toto Jr. N.O.P. is rightfully considered one of the most significant continuers of the Totilas line. His name appears regularly in the pedigrees of Europe's best young dressage horses, and his sporting and breeding achievements confirm his status as one of the leading sires in modern dressage horse breeding.

Santa Bernay — a mare bred by Status Stud Farm, produced via artificial insemination using the stallion Bernay from the renowned German stud Gestüt Sprehe.

‍

Large, harmoniously built, and of a modern sport type, she possesses a sturdy frame, a correct topline, and a balanced temperament. Santa Bernay combines an expressive exterior with excellent rideability and natural athletic ability.

‍

During her time in the Status Stud Farm breeding program, Santa Bernay produced several promising foals that inherited her modern type, correct conformation, quality gaits, and steady character. Today, the mare belongs to new owners, where she is successfully training for amateur dressage and receiving top marks for her temperament, rideability, and willingness to work.

‍

Santa Bernay’s sire is Bernay, a breeding stallion who, despite a short breeding career, has significantly influenced modern European dressage breeding. He was the winner of the 30-day stallion performance test, a finalist in the Bundeschampionat qualification for five-year-old horses, and a promising Grand Prix level horse who won his very first start at Intermediaire II.

‍

Bernay’s value is further confirmed by his offspring. From his first few crops alone, he produced 16 licensed sons. These include the Mecklenburg licensing champion Beau Noir, the premium stallion Bentayga (sold at auction for €360,000), Barbados—one of the most sought-after young breeding stallions—as well as a number of other licensed sons in Germany and Denmark. His foals have consistently ranked among the highest-priced at leading European auctions.

‍

Bernay’s pedigree is among the strongest in modern dressage breeding. His sire, Boston, was recognized as one of the most promising young stallions of his generation, trained under Isabell Werth, and had all the credentials for a successful international sport career. His dam, Lady Leatherdale, is a full sister to the stallion Lord Leatherdale—the sire of Glamourdale, a world champion and one of the most famous stallions in modern dressage. His damsire, Lord Loxley, was a Bundeschampionat winner, a world vice-champion for young horses, and a sire whose descendants compete successfully at the international level.

‍

Santa Bernay’s pedigree also features the Thoroughbred stallion General. The presence of high-quality Thoroughbred blood in the third or fourth generation is traditionally considered a significant advantage for a sport horse. It contributes to maintaining a noble type, sound limbs, stamina, work ethic, and a modern sport exterior, all of which are highly valued in breeding.
