Totilas

World Champion and World record holder. Probably the most exciting dressage horse of all time?

Totilas needs little introduction. He is simply a dressage phenomenon. He has broken countless records and is breath taking to watch. He has broken the world record three times - in 2009 at the European Championship with 90.75 % in the freestyle class, in London with 92.3 % and at the CHIO Aachen 2010 with 86.45% in the Grand Prix Special, where he was awarded the perfect score of 10.0 a total of 28 times. Within the space of only two years, this exceptional stallion has won all the titles there are to win. He won two individual World Championship titles in Kentucky, he was European Champion at Windsor, World Cup winner in 2010 and he won the Dutch Championship twice. He also won team gold medals at the European Championship as well as the World Championship.

The progeny of Totilas have just started appearing in the auction rings and are fetching huge prices - The first few foals to appear fetched from E35k to over E140k. A mare in foal to Totilas sold in the Elite Hanoverian auctions for E46k. The demand is huge even before his offspring enter a dressage arena.

His sire, Gribaldi, also competed successfully at international level with Edward Gal. He was Trakehner champion stallion and Trakehner stallion of the Year in 2008. Gribaldi has consistently produced top-class horses such as World Cup winner IPS Painted Black/Anky van Grunsven, Grand Prix winner Sisther de Jeu/Edward Gal. The dam line, which includes a lot of Holstein blood, has produced numerous approved stallions. Totilas' dam Lominka has produced one intermediate and one advanced level dressage horse and Totilas' full sister, Uusminka, is also in training with Edward Gal.
