About - Floriscount is a beautiful stallion with not only three outstanding paces, but also an exceptional temperament and rideability that is passed on to his offspring. He moves with freedom and elasticity, over a good topline and strong hindleg. 

Performance - Floriscount dominated his competitors at his performance test, winning the dressage index with scores up to 10.0 for rideability and his canter. In 2010 and 2011 Floriscount achieved numerous victories and placings in test for young dressage horses, and qualified repeatedly for the Bundeschampionat. Under Christoph Koschel he added his first placings in advanced level dressage classes at the age of only seven.
