(Australian Warmblood)
Sire: Royal Hit (Dec)
Dam: Kardella Anneke (Dec)
Colour: Brown
Height: 16.3hh
Royal Ascari was born on 1/11/2010 and has “fantastic movement” as you would expect considering his pedigree. His sire was the incredibly stunning stallion “Royal Hit” who has sired three Licensed Stallion sons (one Premium) and 6 State Premium mares (two Elite). Their quality is a great indication of the class of horse that Royal Hit produced.
Ascari is quite leggy, uphill conformation, brown in colour with white socks and a star. He has nice suspension and super knee and hock action which hopefully will place his rider at the cutting edge of dressage competitions. He is very forward and athletic and has the WOW factor in his presence. His natural loose elastic movement is just amazing and the feel he gives you under saddle at such a young age is beautiful and powerful. His easy going and kind personality on the ground is complimentary to his generous work ethic and athleticism under saddle (he certainly was the dark horse that surprised us after he came back from the breakers).
At the AWHA 2014 Assessment Tour with Joanne Verikios and Lynne Crowden he was awarded an overall percentage % of 88 (8.5 for walk, 8.5 for trot, 8.75 for canter and 9.5% for rideability!). The overall impression comments were: “Lovely naturally able and well balanced young horse with good uphill tendency. Thoroughly obliging, submissive horse with good “losgelassenheit“ for a 3 year old”.

Sire: Royal Hit (Dec)
His dominance as a producer sees Royal Hit stamping his progeny with all of his quality traits. He is consistently producing a complete package of unmatched quality. The oldest progeny in Germany are making a big impact in the young horse competition ring with consistent scores over 9 and up to 10 (for walk). Royal Hit progeny have brilliant temperaments and their trainability is second to none. The conformation is excellent, with a strong resemblence to their father; leggy, uphill, elegant. The movement is exceptional, with super knee and hock action, and more importantly an elastic, swinging back.
Progeny achievements include Oldenburger State Champions and Reserve Champions for 4, 5 and 6 year old classes, Bundeschampionate Finalists and Qualifiers, Representatives at the World Championships for Dressage Horses, numerous Licensed Sons and State Premium daughters, AWHA Champions and Supreme Champions throughout Australia, ACE Assessment Tour Champion Colt and numerous Elite and Premium awarded foals. In Europe, USA and UK the progeny are consistently winning or placing in dressage competitions, and in Australia the progeny under saddle are attracting a lot of attention. The temperaments have been outstanding and their movement and type is high quality, scoring up to 80% in their first competitions. One of the stand out qualities that consistently comes through (apart from temperament) is the elastic, swinging back.
With Royal Hit’s famous Loretta dam line, being one of the most successful dam lines in warmblood history, breeders can be assured of quality and consistency.
Royal Hit won several of his first dressage competitions and completed a good stallion performance test with high marks of 8’s and 9’s for his basic gaits and rideability, and perfect scores of 10 for conformation and character.
