Patheon

Patheon is a strongly built stallion with a super character and attitude. He naturally has a lot of technique in movement and a lot of "schwung" in his trot. A front leg with a lot of knee and a back leg that is bent in the right way. He also has an extra step that was rewarded with a 9.0 in the KWPN Performance Test. His canter also has a lot of jump and carrying capacity.

We are therefore very happy that we have such a good son of our Grand Prix Top Stallion Hermès and from such a strong mother line with a lot of sport.

Hermès x San Remo x Formateur x Cadmus XX

Pedigree:
Patheon is the first KWPN-approved son of Hermès, the KWPN-approved international Grand Prix stallion who is very successfully ridden by Dinja van Liere. Hermès made a splash at the Herning 2022 World Championships, where he won a bronze medal twice, won the Grand Prix at the National Dressage Championships and won several World Cup competitions.

His Dam Watradin (star, PROK) unites the blood of San Remo and Formateur. Granddam Atradin (star, preferent, performance of Formateur) produced a large number of offspring in top sport. She serves as mother of no fewer than three international Grand Prix horses; Hariette (by Cassis XX), Ommen (by Balzflug), Rifradin (by Gribaldi), as well as a ZZ-Licht horse by Balzflug. Atradin is also grandmother and great-grandmother of a large number of international sport horses of the highest level. The mother's line continues with the Cadmus daughter Unette (keur, preferent, performance). Unette serves as mother of many sport horses and the KWPN stallion Mondriaan. In addition, Unette is grandmother of the KWPN stallions Estoril and Invershin.
