Sammy Deluxe

Westphalian
Sir Donnerhall I-Florestan I

Sammy came to us for training when he was six years old. I liked the horse from the start, partly because of his very spirited trot. We were happy to buy him when the opportunity arose. With his results so far, our hopes in Sammy Deluxe have been fulfilled. He qualified for the Bundeschampionat in 2012 and has been successful in the young horse Grand Prix in 2013 and 2014 - although he has only had a few show starts overall. In spring 2017 he won his first joint Grand Prix and Spécial classes with our rider Ivan.

Sammy is a soul of horse, very uncomplicated in handling. As a greeting he always puts his head on your shoulder and when leading he likes to have his nose on "his" person's ear. He is a "nose-oriented" horse anyway, he likes to sniff extensively without being pushy. Sammy is very intelligent and shows very good piaffes and passages.

After a griffin leg operation in April 2017, Sammy had an unfortunate fall when he got up and broke his leg. He had to be put down.
