Straight Horse Ascenzione
"Zoni is simply amazing - she has this positive tension, this controllable drive that every rider wants. Just the way she moves through her body ... oh, you can't help but rave about her."

Straight Horse Ascenzione won the Nuremberg Burg Pokal Final in 2022 (ahead of her box neighbor Schöne Scarlett FRH), after we took fifth place at the World Championships for Six-Year-Old Dressage Horses in 2019 with 89.400% and made our winning debut in the international Small Tour at the CDI in Aarhus/DEN in 2020.
In 2023, we made the (victorious) leap into the Grand Prix class, a sixth place in the Louisdor Prize Final in Frankfurt and the final qualification in the “Derby Stars of Tomorrow” series.
Straight Horse Aszenzione won her mare performance test at the beginning of her career and was awarded the silver medal at the Danish Elite Mare Show. In breeding, she produced the licensed Straight Horse Ramses (by Revolution) as well as the two dressage horse World Championship finalists Straight Horse Floriana (by Franklin) and Straight Horse Sun King (by Sir Donnerhall), both with Mette Sejbjerg Jensen/DEN. In 2017, she qualified for the final of the Danish Young Horse Championships and placed eighth under Victoria E. Vallentin in the World Championship final for five-year-old dressage horses in Ermelo/NED with an overall score of 8.78.
Straight Horse Aszenzione is a full sister to the licensed Sezuan, who won the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses three times, was victorious in the international Small Tour and produced the Olympic team gold and individual silver medal winner Wendy de Fontaine, among others. The full sister and SLP winner Straight Horse Sezuanna became Danish Mare Queen, became dam of the licensed and international dressage horse test winner Finest Hour (by Franklin) and is being prepared for her first Grand Prix starts by Imke Schellekens-Bartels/NED. His full brother Straight Hors Don Zuan is successful in dressage competitions up to advanced (S***) level. The Straight Horse Aszenzione dam Bøgegårdens Don Romina is also the dam of the dressage horse World Championship finalist and international Grand Prix successful Straight Horse Don Tamino (by Totilas)/Philine Brunner/SUI and the foal prize winner Straight Horse Zarina (by Blue Hors Zalabaster).
