Saros sired the Belgium champion foal 2003 and currently has an exterior index of 188 earning him elite status at the young age of seven. He had obtained over 50 victories from the age of 4 ? 7 with 17 wins at Prix st Georges, placing 4th at the World Championships in Verden in the six year old class. Other wins include the Belgian 4, 5 and six year old Dressage Champion title.
Saros` progeny are equally as talented in jumping as they are in dressage. Saros`s sire is the famous G Ramiro Z who jumped himself in classes of 2m.20 and perhaps most renown as sire of famous Olympic gold medalist Ratina Z who has herself produced out of the famous Holstein mare Heureka Z This combination of German bloodlines has already proven to be a winning combination.
Saros`s dam Erle carries elite status, claiming the National Champion mare titles in 1983 1984 & 1985 and mother to a number of dressage horses. Le Primo who won several victories Z 2 LRV with Louisann Gestel, Bronze medal Belgian Championship with Leen Cools.
