Presentation
Bon Coeur has fantastic elasticity with powerful but light and airy gaits. He was judged a premium stallion in Verden 2014 and won his 30-day test in Schlieckau in a very strong field, achieving a total of 9.1 points for his gaits.
During the 30-day test he was rewarded with the maximum 10.0 points several times. Bon Coeur has achieved a score of 9.0 points multiple times for rideability during qualifiers to the Bundeshampionat. He was also champion in Hannover 2016, and was both as a 3-year and 4-year-old Reserve-Bundeschampion in Warendorf. Bon Coeur is a modern sports horse, with three excellent gaits, fantastic mechanics, and superb rideability. He was awarded the Weltmeyer Prize 2017 from the Hanoverian Association for his magnificent year in the sport.
Bon Coeur competed for the first time in Sweden in September 2018 with outstanding results. Securing 93% in his 6-year-old test, with a full 10 points for future potential. He then went on to win his second competion at Advanced Medium level with an impressive 73,2 %. In 2019 he continued his superb track record making a strong start to the 2019 competition season by winning the 7-year class with 80,3%, then going on to even win his second start of the year and securing an early qualification to Falsterbo Horse Show.
Bon Couer with Caroline Darcourt in the saddle had a very successful 7-year season resulting in their selection to the Young Horse World Championships and first reserve place in the German team. Success has continued into the 2020 season with the pair taking 2nd place at St Georges level (72,4%) and securing their first International Intermediate I win (71,9%) in Wellington. In the second week at Wellington their strong season continued by winning the CD1I* Prix St George class with 72,9%. Since then, Bon Coeur has competed sucessfully up to international Intermediate I -level.
Offsprings
Bon Coeur has proven to be a highly successful sire. His offspring have already achieved remarkable success. His foals have sold for high prices at auctions across Europe, he has more than 30 approved sons, and many of his offspring are successful in sport.
He has multiple offspring that have excelled both at the World Championships for Young Horses and at the Bundeschampionat. Bon Coeur now has around 30 licensed sons, several of which are already moving up through the dressage classes. His oldest offspring are successfully competing up to Intermédiaire II, and around twenty of them have achieved notable results up to Intermédiaire I.
Some standout examples of his successful offspring include Maxi Kraft’s Barcelo, winner of the Nürnberger Burg-Pokal in 2024, and the licensed stallion Bellany, who earned a placement in Intermédiaire II in 2025.
In 2023, Bon Coeur was awarded the Hanoverian Verband’s Grande Prize for his significant contribution to dressage breeding.
Pedegree
Sandro Hit has convinced through his very good acquisition of dressage horses. He has also been a national champion and won the young horse WC for 6-year-olds. He has countless offspring in difficult dressage, a large number of which have started in World Cup finals, Olympics and championships.
In the third stage, there is performance blood through Carismo, by Calypso II. The jumping blood further back in the trunk has certainly given the strong galloping action and active hind legs. Especially in combination with Sandro Hit, Calypso II has left very successful dressage horses.
Bon Coeur is approved in SWB, Oldenburg, Westphalia and the southern German federations.
