Freudentänzer came to us in the stable in November 2020 (end of 7 years). His co-owner Dr. Ariane Reinhart and I gave him his name. It is a “joy” to train this special “dancer = Tänzer” – my dream horse! We had him already 3 years old a few months for training with us in the stable. I also found him very interesting because of his pedigree. He is the last foal out of Damon Hill’s mom and has Franziskus for a father.
“Sternchen” is a little charmer with special charisma! His big calm eye reflects his intelligent and friendly character. His compact build and enormous elasticity make him a pleasure to ride.
In 2021, Sternchen developed very well and quickly learned many new lessons. He is smart, fine, sensitive and gives a wonderful riding feeling! He gained show experience and placings in M and S dressage.
In 2022, multiple advanced (S) level victories followed. He also attracted attention in Aachen when he finished second in his first Intermediaire I. He is making great progress and he has immense fun developing – not only in dressage, but also in Cavaletti exercises. He enjoys his morning grazing and his weekly rides.
SAP Freudentänzer has a new rider
After four and a half intensive years, SAP Freudentänzer—affectionately known as “Sternchen”—has found a new rider. The decision to part ways was not an easy one for us, his three owners. But sometimes, reason must guide the heart.
Sternchen has always been a very special horse to me. With Franziskus as his sire and a dam who is also the mother of Damon Hill—whom I had the privilege of training to Grand Prix winner—his pedigree brings together two of my heart horses.
His unique character and charming presence made him an extraordinary partner. I am truly grateful to have accompanied him on his journey to becoming a Grand Prix winner.
We wish his new rider all the best and many successful moments with our beloved Sternchen.
