Inatana’s descendant Santano, champion stallion at KWPN approvals

Santano Van Hof Olympia, a three-year old stallion by Sandro Hit out of Inatana’s granddaughter P.Siltana Van Hof Olympia (Silvano N x Calypso III), has been proclaimed the dressage champion at the KWPN studbook approvals in Ermelo, Netherlands.
Santano was bred by Henk and Iris Poettgens, and is owned by Berend and Els Minnen of Resim Dressage Stables. The KWPN report praises the stallion for his outstanding conformation, temperament and movement. He was awarded a 7.0 for his walk, an 8.5 for his trot, an 8.5 for his canter, and an 8.5 for his talent for dressage. Santano will stand for breeding duties at Resim stables, and has already bred over twenty-five mares this season.
Las Marismas congratulates Henk and Iris Poettgens of Hof Olympia for breeding such an outstanding stallion, which represents yet another recognition of their superior breeding program, and wishes Resim Dressage Stables all the success in the career of Santano.
We are also very proud and fortunate to own Santano’s full brother, our own Sandritano Van Hof Olympia, a yearling, who we hope can match the success of this older brother.
