Escapade is a 16.3hh Hanoverian stallion imported to the US in April of 2002 from the farm of Ludwig Decker in Germany . The famous Hanoverian sire Grannus - one of Escapades ancestors, was born on the very same farm. We selected Escapade because of his flawless conformation and outstanding movement. Following the family legacy, this powerful, graceful and sincere stallion has the temperament, and athletic ability that we foresee being carried on to his children. Over 40 breedings to Escapade were sold in 2004 when he was only three years of age. Escudo 1 (Escapade's sire), was the fourth leading hunter sire in the country for 2005 and he only had 4 horses registered (the stallions in front of him had around 20.) Beyond, sired by Graf Grannus (Escapade's grand sire), finished 10th. in the country in the Regular working Hunter. Dynamic (Escapade's half brother), was just recently Reserve Champion in the Second Year Green Division at the National Horseshow in Wellington . He finished 7 th . in the country in the Large Junior Hunter division. Cool Blue (Escapade's half brother), finished 14 th . in the country in the Second Year Green Hunter Division and 8 th . in the country in the Small Junior Hunter Division. In 2003, Escapade received the American Gold Medal Warmblood Society Inspection with a Supreme Elite score of 84%. He is also licensed with the Rhineland-Pfalz-Saar International for Stallion Book I and Nominated for the 2005 International Jumper Futurity and 2005 International Hunter Futurity.
