"Faci not only has unlimited potential, he is also super easy to handle, very easy to ride and always willing to give his best. You can just tell that he enjoys what he does."
Although we have not been a pair for very long, we have already achieved valuable victories, including Nations Cups and World Cup freestyles.
Facilone FRH is descended from Fürstenball and De Niro and is a half-brother to For Sure (by Finest), who is also successful at Grand Prix level.
He started his career in the dressage arena under Bianca Nowag-Aulenbrock. In 2016, the then four-year-old Hanoverian became Champion in Verden and was subsequently one of the finalists at the Bundeschampionat in Warendorf. After “Faci” became Vice Champion of five-year-old dressage horses in Verden a year later, he moved under the saddle of Stephanie Dearing and represented the Austrian colors twice at the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses in Ermelo, the Netherlands. From 2021 to 2023, Facilone FRH made the leap into the Grand Prix class under Marcus Hermes.
