Monte Carlo TC

Current 2024 (from July 1st):

If you want to use the semen of the stallions stationed at Blue Hors, Denmark, you must order before 9 am on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. The delivery will then be delivered to you or your vet the next day for insemination.

Unfortunately, we can no longer inseminate Blue Hors stallions on the road ourselves due to irregular delivery times. The mare can be stabled at our station for mare guidance and insemination.

All stallions have very good semen quality.

Current 2024 (until July 1st):

The direct line between Blue Hors and our Stallion Station was a good success in 2023 and will therefore be continued in 2024 from April 1, 2024 to July 1, 2024.

Orders for Blue Hors Monte Carlo:

• Orders placed on Friday after 9:00 AM, Saturday, Sunday and Monday before 9:00 AM -> Delivery Monday evening.
• Orders placed on Monday after 9:00 AM, Tuesday and Wednesday before 9:00 AM -> Delivery on Wednesday evening.
• Orders placed on Wednesday after 9:00 AM, Thursday and Friday before 9:00 AM -> Delivery on Friday evening.

If you want to collect the semen on the delivery day, you can do this in the evening after 7:30 PM at our station or we will come and inseminate it the same evening at your mare's stable at no extra cost (max. 30-40 km from our station in Heerewaarden). The semen can also be sent the next day with HippoXpress. The shipping costs will then be charged.

However, NVWA paper costs are charged per delivery due to imports from Denmark.

NB! The above delivery conditions only apply to the first 3 orders/deliveries. From the 4th order/delivery, €75 per order will be charged (excl. shipping costs from HippoXpress within NL and NVWA paper costs).

All stallions have very good semen quality.

Monte Carlo possesses three top gaits, and a powerful hind-leg movement, which places him in a league of his own and with a bright future ahead.

At the 2020 KWPN stallion licensing Blue Hors Monte Carlo convincingly made his way to the premium ring and stood out as the most powerful mover of the licensing. Monte Carlo was introduced to rider after the Dutch licensing, and Blue Hors took the opportunity to view him at van Uytert’s yard when he had only been under saddle a few times. Nevertheless, his great potential for the upper level shone through. Once again, at the Danish stallion licensing in Herning Blue Hors Monte Carlo found himself in the premium ring, and with the title of double Premium Stallion.

In continuation of the licensing the approved stallions were enrolled for the 10-day observation test where Monte Carlo earned very positive comments from the judges:

“Very willing to work, rideable and energetic stallion. His walk is energetic and with a clear beat. The trot is elastic, energetic and supple with good self-carriage and push off the ground. The canter is ground covering and elastic with good self-carriage”

For his KWPN performance test in 2020 he placed as no. 2 with the marks 9 for walk, 8,5 for trot, 9 for canter, 8,5 for suppleness, 8,5 for posture and balance, 8,5 for ridability and interior – as well as a 9 for capacity

In 2021, Monte Carlo became number 3 at the Danish Riding Federation’s championship final for 4-year-old dressage horses. His marks were 8.8 for trot, 8.5 for a nice and clean walk, 9 for a very good canter with a good ‘uphill’ tendency, 8.6 for rideability, 9 for capacity and a total score of 89.60 points. The judges especially pointed out the high capacity that will be completely unique to develop on in the future!

Monte Carlo‘s pedigree of Dream Boy – United – Jazz in combination with a strong damline does not leave much to be desired. His sire Dream Boy by Vivaldi/Ferro successfully competes in international Grand Prix with HansPeter Minderhoud. Damsire United is by Krack C/Partout, both of which has competed in international Grand Prix with Anky van Grunsven, and United himself has competed in Intermediaire, before an injury put an end to his career. His damsdamsire Jazz has competed in international Grand Prix with Tineke Bartels and Kirsten Beckers and is considered one of the world’s most influential sires in dressage horse breeding.

Monte Carlo is bred by the Dutch breeder W. Den Besten and is out of a super damline, which has produced Grand Prix horses like Murdock by Balzflug, Annette Ballerina by Scandic, Bolero by Johnson etc. as well as licensed stallions such as Joop TC by Ravel and Son De Niro by De Niro.

“In terms of bloodlines, Monte Carlo represents a combination that I find exciting, and that is new on the Danish market”
– Martin Klavsen - director Blue Hors
