3 new Elite Sires at Stutteri Ask11-10-2016 - 10:24

We are proud to inform you, that the three sires Carson Ask, Ci Ci Senjor Ask and Favorit Ask have been approved as Elite Sires in the Danish Warmblood.
It is hardly a surprise, that the three sires are passing on their fantastich jumping skills to their offspring, and that is exactly the reason why they have been rated as Elite Sires after application this year.
Becoming an Elite Sire makes these three sires collegeaues to two of the old boys in the stable: Casir Ask and Lambrusco Ask, who have been appointes as Elite Sires in 2004 and 2009 respectively. Casir Ask also earned the title "Sire of the Year" at the Danish Warmblood approval in 2008.

What does it take to become an Elite Sire ?

The Breeding Commission can appoint sires of any age as Elite Sires. The sire must fulfil 4 of the following basic demands. If the sire can not fulfil demand no. 2, it has to fulfil demand no. 6.

1. The sire has done good results in competitions, and in Denmark it shall be at least of B-status
2. At least 30 offspring must have been presented and judged. Minimum 50% of the judged offspring must have been apporved to DH or have been selected for the stallion approval

4. The sire has a breeding indes above average in dressage and/or jumping
5. The siore has at least 5 offspring, who have qualified for the final of the DRF championship
