Comments from the AES Stallion Licensing Panel:

…”Every now and then we encounter a young horse who has future greatness stamped all over him. And this simply breathtaking son of Levisonn is such an example. Bred to jump and event, with gaits of such quality that they will also be of interest to many dressage breeders, this young horse certainly breaks the mould. We are excited about what future will bring and delighted to have such a great opportunity for our AES breeders to be the first to be able to use him…”

Guilty Pleasure is not just a beautiful animal, he has been purpose bred to be a genetically pre-potent progenitor of stock, providing breeders with greater predictability of type and performance potential in his offspring. He is the planned result of a deliberate crossing of 2 very influential bloodlines which enabled the genetics of 2 outstanding full sisters to be brought together - Hirtin and G-Casablanca.

Hirtin is the dam of "Sire of the World" Levisto Z, and G-Casablanca is the dam of Cantoblanco - Champion of the Holsteiner licensing for jumping. Not only are these 2 mares the dam's of these 2 quite exceptional stallions, they are also full sisters to the internationally successful stallions Clinton I and II, Clinton H and Clintus - what an incredible group of full siblings!

Hirtin is the dam of the "Sire of the World" Levisto Z, who in turn sired the Double Champion of the Holsteiner Performance Test, Levisonn - sire of Future Guilty Pleasure.

G-Casablanca is the dam of the Champion of the Holsteiner Licensing, Cantoblanco - dam-sire of Guilty Pleasure.

By line breeding in generation 3 of his pedigree we aimed to create genetic prepotency without compromising heterozygosity and hybrid vigour. Although it's very early days for this young stallion, he appears to be demonstrating all that we could have hoped for from this breeding and much more. His conformation is near flawless, all 3 paces are quite exceptional, his jump is powerful and careful, and his temperament intelligent and trainable.

His dam Guilty Secret (by Cantoblanco) is a Grade 1 AES mare and was the first foal from the BEF Elite mare Future Gold Digger - the all time Highest Scoring BEF Futurity Event Foal (2005-2012), and maternal sister to the Olympic Individual Silver Medallist and 3-time Winner of the CCI**** Kentucky Horse Trials, Winsome Adante, as well as the Life Approved (AES) and Life Graded SHB(GB) stallion Future Gravitas, and the CCI** mare Future Genie.

His sire Levisonn was Double Champion of both his 30 and 70 Day Performance tests in both the disciplines of Showjumping and Dressage. Levisonn’s sire Levisto Z is the Zangersheide ‘Sire of the World’ in Showjumping and poster boy for Belgium’s leading stud. A 2yr old Westfalen stallion out of a Levisonn mare sold recently for €92k.

Guilty Pleasure's dam Future Guilty Secret is a Head Stud Book SHB(GB) mare and Grade 1 AES mare by Champion of the Holsteiner licensing for Showjumping, Cantoblanco.  A maternal sibling to Guilty Pleasure has been purchased for a European rider who competed at Tokyo Olympics.

Guilty Secret’s dam, Future Gold Digger held the record for being the Highest Scoring Eventing foal at the Futurity for 5 years with a score of 9.25 out of 10 and has since had an eventing career and been a multiple Champion Show Horse. She is a maternal sister to:

• Olympic Silver Medallist, WEG Gold medallist and multiple CCI5* Winner Winsome Adante

• CCI3* eventer Future Genie

• CCI3* eventer Future Gravitie

• Life Graded SHB(GB) and Life Approved AES International Eventing stallion Future Gravitas

• National Futurity Eventing Champion Foal Future Glamour

With a sire and a dam-sire who were Performance Test and Stallion Licensing Champions respectively and from a dam line that has already produced an Olympic Individual medallist, Future Guilty Pleasure’s genetics are world class. However his genetic potency doesn’t end there. His great grand-dam on his sire’s side (Hirtin), and his grand-dam on his dam’s side (G-Casablanca) were full sisters meaning he is linebred to two mares who produced exceptional stallion sons in Levisto Z and Cantoblanco. Not only this, but these mares themselves were full sisters to the legendary jumping stallions Clinton I and Clinton II enabling this family’s genes to be firmly cemented in Future Guilty Pleasure’s DNA.

Future Guilty Pleasure’s first three crops of foals have earmarked him as a serious stock-getter.

• In both 2019 and 2020 when his first two crops of foals were presented to the Futurity, his highest scoring progeny received an Elite mark of 9 or higher in EVERY section of the assessment – Vet, Conformation, Walk, Trot and Canter.

• In 2020 only one Elite was awarded in the Eventing discipline from 129 entries – to his foal.

• In 2020 he had 3 Eventing offspring forward and ALL received at least one Elite mark and were all in the top 10 scoring eventers across all ages, from 129 entries.

• His 2020 top scoring foal went on to be the Highest Priced Eventing lot sold in the British Breeding Elite Auction, purchased for a British CCI5* rider.

• In 2021 he had the No.1 and No.2 scoring Event foals at the British Breeding Futurity Virtual evaluations. He also had the No.1 scoring Yearling not just of the Eventing section, but across ALL the disciplines. These 3 youngsters were the overall No.1. No.3 and No.5 top scoring eventers of any age in the Virtual Series.

• These two top scoring foals were purchased for a rider who competed at Tokyo Olympics and were exported to Europe.

Future Guilty Pleasure offers breeders in all 3 Olympic disciplines the opportunity to tap into some of the best continental bloodlines underpinned by a world-class dam line.  He is now being used worldwide on Nations Cup and CCI5* mares from the USA to Australia.
