Bvlgari mastered a perfect series at shows this past season: He entered eight tests for young riding or dressage horses, won three and placed twice four times under Heiko Klausing. This 1st Reserve Champion of the NRW licensing had already made the headlines in 2009 when he won bronze at the Bundeschampionat in the class for three-year old stallions. He passed his 30-day test in Schlieckau with the second highest score and it was noted that he has a strong talent for dressage as well as jumping.
The modern type and the great scope of his foals is striking.
His sire Belissimo M NRW is an exceptional sire. More than 30 licensed sons are on record, including the Bundeschampionat finalist, Biedermeier, who is also stationed at Gestüt Vorwerk.
His dam, Verb.Pr.St. Wind of Change, also gave birth to a full sister named Betty Barclay who is also successful in tests for youngsters. The dam's sire, World Magic, placed in dressage up to Grand Prix. The granddam, St.Pr.St. Fleurance, competed in the final ring of the 1994 Westphalian Elite Broodmare Show. She is the dam of St.Pr.St. Dylene (by Dynast) and a dressage horse named Reinster Wahnsinn (by Rheingau). Florestan I has been deemed one of the world's best dressage sires for years. The great granddam, St.Pr.St. Fendora, is the dam of the State Stud sire and performance test winner, Faveur (by Florestan I), a Grand Prix dressage horse named Sir Oliver (by Florestan I) as well as five State Premium daughters.
The Astfläche line is also the origin of the Westphalian Champion Stallion Fidertanz, a Bundeschampionat finalist named Fanconi and the licensed stallions Diconto, Frederiko, Paradiso, Orlando, Graditz and Remoir.
