Gianni Amato  

born 30. March 2006

by Graf Top and Madonna III by Parco xx

Hanoverian, 1,69m height

The first foal of Madonna III is a brown stallion. A very correct, elastic and athletic stallion, who is characterised by his half-bred dam. Like his dam he has an outstanding canter. The type is characterised by his sire Graf Top, same colour, markings and head. Railings are there to jump above - take a look at the video. After preparing for the selection of licensing in 2008 he was gelded. Now he is broken in and shows a good rideability.

Ancestry: The sire is Graf Top I by Graf Grannus of the State Stud of Celle. Graf Top I is "the" jumping stallion of the State Stud of Celle. His sire Graf Grannus is a son of the great Grannus. Grannus has a lot of offspring in the international high-level jumping circle. In 2004 Graf Grannus was "Hanoverian Stallion of the Year" and there are also a lot of offspring in the international high-level jumping circle. The dam of Graf Grannus, Goldmädel, was successful until 1,60m with Hauke Luther. Graf Top I has taken an excellent stallion performance test and was 4th of his age-group. The full-sister of his dam, Candy, is dam of Laptop by Loredo, the winner of his stallion performance test. The full-sister of his grandmother, Gottilde, is dam of the international jumping-horse Alwins Ass by Absatz/ Franke Sloothaak and of the sire of Stakkato, Spartan by Servus.  Also For Keeps by For Pleasure, meanwhile international winner in jumping competitions with Lars Nieberg, is a member of this mareline. The first offspring of Graf Top I are now successful in the international youngster-tour and the riders are expecting much.

Pedigree:   ►►►►here

Gianni Amato's pedigree has an in-breeding in 3 times Gotthard, Ramzes x and Cottage Son xx, and 2 times Cor de la Bryère.

His pedigree is a great rarity because in Hanover there are only a little thoroughbred stallions for jumping. Graf Top - Parco xx - Coriolan - Rebel Z I - Marlon xx, and the mareline 749 with al lot of potential! For the moment the pedigree is very up-to-date within the Hanoverians take the initiative with the G-blood!

Mareline: 749

This mareline is traceable til middle of the 19th century, in 1867 the first mare was born and registered. The line is significant for powerful international sport-horses until the highest level and licensed stallions.

Here you can read more about this mareline and the successes of the near ancestries in the sport. ►►►►here

Mareline of Paardenfokken

Own performance: Gianni jumps with an outstanding potential and care. He was presented to the pre-selection of Hanoverian Main Licensing 2008 but not selected. His presentation was characterized by his lacking experience and a lot of tension. He couldn't show his jumping quality. But we believe his will continue his way in the sport. Meanwhile he shows he potential under the rider
