About You II demonstrated his outstanding talent at the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses 2023 in Ermelo in the Netherlands and came sixth in the final under his rider Mette Sejbejerg Jensen/DEN. The international jury awarded him a 9.2 for trot, an 8.5 each for walk, rideability and perspective and an 8.2 for canter. This resulted in a final score of 85.600 percent.

About you II was the 1.35 million top price at his breeder’s farm auction in 2022. In Denmark, he impressed across the board in his 35-day test: with individual scores of up to 9.0 and an overall score of 812.0, he ranked sixth.

His sire, the Apache, son AC-DC, started his career as the top price at his breeder’s farm auction and has since placed up to Inter I. Six of his sons were licensed, including the About You II full brother About You I, who was sold to the Netherlands in 2020 for the spectacular top price of 1.65 million and can now boast serial victories in tests for young dressage horses, including two gold medals at the Westphalian Championships and placings at the Bundeschampionat. The AC-DC son Aringer has won up to advanced (S) level dressage competitions.

His dam, the two-time stallion dam, Evita, is also the dam of St.Pr.St. Dante’s Smaragd (by Dante Weltino OLD), who placed at the German Mare Championships in Lienen and in the final ring of the Westphalian Elite Mare Show.

The second sire, Estobar NRW, was NRW Champion Stallion and was victorious up to Grand Prix level under Hubertus Schmidt. His offspring include the licensed Bundeschampions Equitaris and Escolar. The latter was a member of the German championship squad under Hubertus Schmidt/GER.

The granddam, Priscilla, was victorious in tests for young riding horses. She produced the licensed stallions Mein Märchenprinz (by Münchhausen), who went Grand Prix under Leonie Bramall/CAN, and Pour L’Amour (by Pentagon’s Peron). Her son Farinelli (by Florestan I)/Markus Erkens/GER was also successful at Grand Prix level. Fürstenau (by Fürst Piccolo) took part in the European Junior Championships under Anna Comas Margarit/ESP. The daughter Fabrice (by Fürst Piccolo) produced the licensed stallion Adrenalin (by Apache) and the advanced (S) level dressage horse Eyecatcher (by Estobar NRW).
