| Bugatti Hilltop gathers the influence of Germany's greatest dressage sires into a single pedigree. His sire Bergamon is a son of Baryshnikov (by Bolero), winner of his 100-Day test and many time winner in S-level Dressage tests. Bergamon has five approved sons to date. Bergamon's dam Paola is the full-sister to Pik Bube I, whose influence has been felt especially in the Oldenburg and Hanoverian breeding regions. Paola has produced outstanding offspring her entire career, including Primavera (by Donnerhall), a States Premium Oldenburg mare, who was the Champion Mare of the Oldenburg Elite Mare Show in 1992 and was also the Dressage Champion at the Bundeschampionat that year. |

Bugatti's dam St.Pr. Raffinesse is by the renowned Westphalian stallion Rubinstein, who had continuous international success in dressage and breeding. Rubinstein's sire line produced Rembrandt 24, the many-time international Gold Medalist under Nicole Uphoff, and his dam line produced Reiner Klimke’s dressage star, Ahlerich. Rubinstein sired many influential sons including Royal Diamond, Rotspon, and the World Equestrian Games Team Bronze medalist, Relevant. St.Pr. Raffinesse is out of an extremely influential and successful mare St.Pr.St. Desirée by Donnerhall. Desirée has produced other successful sons and daughters, including St.Pr.St. Renomée, and the approved stallion Riverside (by Regazzoni) who won both his 30- and 70-Day Performance Tests in Germany. For nearly two decades, Donnerhall has captured hearts worldwide with his charm and powerful presence. Donnerhall ranked #1 in the 2000 German FN's index for all German stallions of his age group in both the Dressage and Overall divisions. Under Karin Rehbein, Donnerhall won many World Cup, World Championship, and German Championship titles. Donnerhall has produced dressage horses that win in competitions around the globe. |

Bugatti's own impact as a sire has just begun. In Sweden alone, ten Bugatti offspring were highlighted with scores ranging from 47-51 points in the Swedish evaluation system. He had six Foal Championship winners in his first foal crop. In the US, Bugatti offspring captured five Site Champion titles on the American Hanoverian Society and OldenburgNA tours, along with many more premium-scoring foals. Bugatti's offspring bear the type, suppleness, and elastic expression that are destined to become trademarks for this rising star. As his first foals are now beginning their under saddle work, we are universally hearing from breeders how easy they are to start and what wonderful temperaments they are displaying. We look forward to the next few years as these horses move into the show ring. |
| Bugatti Hilltop was leased to Flyinge, the Swedish
State Stud, for three breeding seasons and returned to Germany in between to
show and train with Michael Klimke. He competed in the prestigious Bundeschampionat in 2003 and 2004 and finished in the top 12 both years. Bugatti
and Michael have continued on in their competitive careers and in 2006
captured top placings in FEI competition. Bugatti was lightly shown in
2007, and imported to the US in the fall. We look forward to
the 2008 season when Bugatti will show under Hilltop Farm's Head
Trainer, Chris Hickey, and be available to North American breeders
through cooled semen. "In getting to know Bugatti, I've been so impressed with his outstanding temperament and rideability. This horse never says no! His big gaits have elasticity and scope, but also the ability to collect in piaffe and pirouettes." Chris Hickey |
