(Gauguin de Lully - Poppy v. Chrysos v. Condus)
Swedish Stallion

Gauguin du Cheval 9054, one of the most accomplished warmblood stallions in the USA, combines the blood of the legendary Gauguin de Lully, the most successful SWB stallion of all time, with the most influential and successful modern bloodlines in Europe  the Anglo Arab gray stallion, Ramzes who belongs to the triumvirate of German procreators of sport horses following World War II, including the triple Olympic Gold Medalist, Rembrandt. He is a champion bred from champions, now producing future champions.

Gauguin du Cheval 9054 has successfully exhibited up down the west coast and in the east. In 2002 alone, he won championships in 4 different USDF regions, a feat unequalled by any other horse in the United States. He did this while being exhibited by his amateur owner. He has been successful in judging under German-nationality and European trained judges and has garnered complimentary comments including statements that Gauguin du Cheval 9054 would be a top-10 dressage stallion in Europe. He passes on his excellent conformation and athletic prowess to his offspring, two of whom were approved as breeding stallions in 2012 and a mare that was awarded a DIPLOMA in jumping as well as Class 1 in dressage. All offspring inspected to date have been Class ONE.

Following in the footsteps of his sire, Gauguin de Lully, who at age 6 was the Swiss Preliminary 3-day champion, Gauguin du Cheval 9054 is proving to be a bold jumper with a lot of scope over fences.

He finished up his first year of eventing by moving up to Open Preliminary at Galway Downs International 3-day Event, winning the dressage, going clean x-country (a conservative run with 13.2 time faults) and a clean stadium for a 2nd place finish only 3.2 faults out of 1st place.
