SHERATON’ success has been immediate, the stallion was approved by the KWPN at 3yo with a whopping... 10/10!
Being easy to ride, the stallion has always competed with a simple snaffle.
Very successful in Europe, he is the sire of almost 500 horses.
The stallion has a very successful production (see below), including very promising offspring that don’t compete yet. Definitely a stallion that breeders should keep an eye on!
After he retired in 2017, Sheraton came to France where he carries on his very successful carrer as a breeding sire. New Normandy is very proud to welcome this more than proven sire in its line up!

Sheraton brings to his offspring strength, scope, a healthy respect for the rail and a very good state of mind. He has a beautiful move over the rail. He has a great trot and canter that he passes on.
Indoctro marks Sheraton’s offspring a lot.

PEDIGREE
C INDOCTRO is one the most important stallions of the KWPN. He is one of the best sires of top performers in Jumping with more than 250 winners in international competitions.
Through Indoctro, Calypso II, Granus and Gothard, we find in Sheraton all the important German bloodlines that gave so many stallions and sporthorses. One can find these crosses in top performers like Chasseur, Contender, Top Gun or Graf Grannus.
Sheraton's dam, GINELLA, is ‘Staatspremie’, she passed her dam inspection with flying colors. She was noted ‘the convincing one with the striking exterior.’ She excelled in the Test for Mares and received a 10/10 for jumping and several 9’s.
She also produced Calatos 2 (Calato) CSI 4*, Contador (Contendro) CSI 2*, Golda D (Stakkato) CSI 1*.
