Even as a foal Gørklintgårds Santos was among his generation’s best. He was selected for the Danish Warmblood’s Elite Show and given straight 9`s for type, trot and overall impression.

Santos’ pedigree is impressive. His sire Sunny-Boy combines legendary Sandro Hit with one of the very best damlines in Germany. It has produced more than 30 approved stallions and numerous international sport horses. Sunny-Boy has sired a long succession of successful dressage horses, premium foals and prized mares, as well as 18 approved sons.
Santos` dam Genova is out of a noticeable Danish Warmblood dam line. Dam`s dam Grendalin has elite status and is the mother of the approved stallion Figaro, two silvermedal mares - of whom one was 2-year-old Mare of the Year - and Salvador who received 9,2 points at the Young Horse Championship in region 4. In 2009 another of Grendalin`s descendants, Gaya, won the title as 2-year-old Mare of the Year in Danish Warmblood.

Santos distinguishes himself with his modern type, correct conformation and extremely good gaits with great hind leg action. Furthermore, he has a unique character for which he was given a 10 at his 35-day test.
