He is a versatile stallion that has the charm and good looks of his
Absatz heritage with a good wither and croup. His movements are
rhythmical and flowing with excellent engagement of the hind
quarters, a very free shoulder and an uncomplicated mind. Fabriano's
daughters showed excellent scores in all categories of the
Hanoverian Mare Performance Test. His performance offspring have
also performed well in both dressage and jumping giving Fabriano
excellent breeding scores in all areas. Dr. Wilkins, former managing
director of the German Hannoveraner Verband called Fabriano "one of
the best performance horse producers of Hannover's breeding program
today" (The Hanoverian December 1999). Fabriano was Champion of his
Stallion Performance Test placing first in the jumping portion and
fourth in the dressage portion.
Fabriano was the winner of his performance test with excellent
scores in both dressage and jumping. He possesses rhythmical,
flowing movements, which also convinced at the stallion licensing.
His technique over the jump is to be much admired and shows ability
and aptitude. Knees tucked into his throatlatch and a lovely bascule
account for his popularity as a sire of noteworthy hunters. He was
also awarded high marks for rideability at test, demonstrating a
pleasing and uncomplicated temperament. In addition to the great
stallions Ferdinand and Absatz in the third generation, Fabriano
also goes back to Augustinus xx and Steppenwolf, known for their
ability and willingness to perform. Fabriano has been especially
popular with American breeders, for his dual purpose tendencies and
his ability to sire hunters. His foals have done consistently well
at inspections. |
