Total Hope

Information

About - Total Hope is a stallion with a huge amount of charisma, he displays maximum elasticity and ground cover, having shown his talents in the sport after displaying exceptional movements. Having currently a number of titles under his belt as the Swedish licensing winner, dressage champion and finalist and finalist at the Wold Championships. Total Hope has made history. In 2019, he won the Nuremberg Burg Cup and in 2021, the Louisdor Prize, something that no other stallion in the long history of the two most important young horse competitions has ever achieved. And both times, ridden by Isabel Freese, he won in an absolutely impressive manner - clearly ahead of the strong competition. For his piaffe, passage and tempi changes in the Grand Prix Final in Kronberg, the judges awarded scores up to 10 - a total of 77.54 percent. “That was a very mature performance”, commented Dr. Dietrich Plewa. “What is particularly impressive about this horse is that nothing seems trained or mechanical. This is the result of systematic training”. Under Isabelle Freese the pair took 10th place in the Paris Olympics. 

Sire- Totilas was the first horse in history to break the 90% barrier, scoring 90.7% to take home individual and team gold at the 2009 Windsor Europeans. He followed this up with three gold medals at the 2010 Kentucky World Equestrian Games, having also scored 92.3% at Olympia 2009 to set a record that would stand for four years. In 27 appearances at international grand prix with Edward Gal, Totilas scored over 80% on 24 occasions. The pair won three World Cup qualifiers and then the World Cup Final as 's-Hertogenbosch on a score of 89.8%. Under Matthias Rath, Totilas was part of the silver medal-winning team at thr 2011 Rotterdam Europeans and finished fourth individually. On his only appearances against Valegro (at Aachen 2014), Totilas was the undeniable victor; winning both the grand prix and the grand prix special on 82% and 84%.

Damline - His damsire Don Schufro has won multiple World Cup qualifiers, and achieved more than 30 victories and placings in Grand Prix at big shows such as Aachen, Bremen, Wiesbaden, Lingen, Neumünster and Nörten-Hardenberg, with scores over 79%. The highlight of his career was in 2008, when he became Danish Champion and won the Olympic bronze medal with the Danish team in Hong Kong under Andreas Helgstrand. In the individual ranking, they placed 11th. 

Progeny - Total Hope OLD’s first sons have been licensed. Furstepoppel/Emma Ahlberg/SWE took part in the World Championships for five-year-old dressage horses in Verden in 2021. Total Target, already placed internationally in tests for young dressage horses, was one of the top bids at the P.S.I. Auction.
