Santina had bred two foals by the time she was six, then the decision was made to give her an opportunity to have a competition career before returning to stud duties due to her fantastic movement.
In a few years she reached Advanced Medium level and qualified for winter and summer Regional Championships at all the levels up to and including this. During this time, we carried out embryo transfer in order not to miss out on her valuable breeding potential and from 2007 returned to the stud. Her first embryo transfer foal, Belladonna, by Belissimo M, as a two year old won a high scoring First Premium (in the days before Elite awards) at the BEF Futurity evaluation in 2008. In 2010 Belladonna started in young horse classes but an early accident side-lined her for the year. Santina’s 2008 embryo transfer foal, by Riccione, was the highest placed colt foal by a German based stallion and reserve colt foal champion at the annual British Hanoverian show. In 2011, both of Santina’s four year old daughters by embryo transfer, Hawtins Serafina and Hawtins Destina, qualified for the Young Horse championships.
Santina’s sire, Sherlock Holmes, by Salvano, was vice-champion of the stallion performance testing in 1992. Sherlock Holmes was a popular breeding stallion in Germany as his progeny have shown a versatile pre-disposition for both dressage and show jumping, and he has sired eight licensed Hanoverian stallions and more than 40 state premium mares.
Santina’s strong motherline includes many generations of award winning State Premium mares including Wicke, by Weltmeyer. Santina’s dam line has also produced many top stallions. These include Dramatic, who was world champion of young dressage horses as a six year old, Scolari, by Sandro Hit, who topped the dressage index in his stallion performance test with 140 points and the Belissimo M stallion, Barclay.
