Edelweiss de Bonce began his Dressage training at his breeder's farm in France, where he soon became a finalist at 5 and 6 in Dressage at Fontainebleau. Continuing his career, he was moved to Germany where he was trained up through Grand Prix Dressage with Catherine Haddad. After being sold to the USA to Cory Walkey, he continued his Dressage career being successfully competed under Mette Rosencrantz at PSG and Intermediare I. After a long, successful athletic career he is now retired to stud. Through his many years under saddle and competing at the top of his sport, he's earned the respect and kind words from the people who's lives he's been a part of. With an eager attitude and a willingness for the job, he's proven he's up for any challenge!
True to our standard in quality, Edelweiss comes from a long, well proven line of magnificent atheletes and stock. He is by the 1974 Selle Francais stallion "I Love You" (By Alme Z), who was winner of the World Cup in Vienna, and named AHSA Showjumper of the year in 1983. His dam, the French Anglo Arabian mare "Jib'Or" (who's lines trace to Arlequin, sire to Zeus), is also dam to Cool Fontaine, the 1990 Approved Anglo Arab Stallion.
Edelweiss is part of a family of truly outstanding equines. Not only does he have an amazing show record to back up his quality, but with bloodlines relating to some of the horse industries most impressive performers he's a package deal. With a classy modern look, an incredible temperament, and a pedigree full of champions, he has something to offer every mare owner.
