Esprit D' Amour is by the Hanoverian stallion "Espri" who was Hanoverian stallion of the year in 1995. Espri has produced many well-known international show jumpers and dressage horses. His most famous show jumping son is "E.T.", who won the Show Jumping World Cup Finale in both 1995 and 1006. Espri is the sire of Celle's state stallions Escudo I and Escudo II.

Espri's son "Elvis" was part of the German team that won the Dressage gold medal at the 2008 Hong Kong Olympics.

Don Carlos, Sender and Furioso II round out Esprit's performance driven pedigree.

 
Esprit D'Amour has only been used sparely during the past few years as he was competing and  away from the farm  most of the time. He produces mostly black foals with excellent movement, lots of jump and he passes on his easy going attitude.

Two of our Esprit daughters were inspected for breeding in 2003 and received first premium status with scores of 7.66 and 7.8 respectively.
