Sandro Boy completed his stallion performance test in Münster-Handorf in 1996, 13th out of 60 candidates, but with the best jumping score – 144.98, with a 10 for free jumping.
The ride on Sandro Boy was taken over by Marcus Ehning, in 2003, and Sandro Boy was soon competing at the highest level. The pair won the 2003 Frankfurt Grand Prix and then in 2004, the Düsseldorf, Gera and London Grand Prix, were runners up in the Dortmund Grand Prix and vice-champions of the German Championship in Balve. In 2005, Sandro Boy won the Grand Prix at Düsseldorf, London-Olympia and Gera. In 2006, they won the Zurich Grand Prix before taking out the World Cup Final in Kuala Lumpur – going through the event without ever looking like touching a rail. By mid-2006, he had won euro300,000 in prize money.
Sandro Boy’s first few batches of foals already resulted in four approved sons. Saccor is in the services of the Brandenburg state stud in Neustadt/Dosse and Sandro Man de L is meanwhile stationed at a private stud in BadenWürttemberg, whereas Sandro Boy Junior and Sturm were approved in 2004. His oldest progeny are successful in showjumper tests at the elementary and intermediate levels.

Grand Sire:
Sandro
Holsteiner,
Born 1974, 1.71 m
  |
As a sire, Sandro has also been a considerable success, with three of his progeny competing at the 1994 WEG in The Hague – Sandro Song (Ante Smlesa), Safari (Michael Abo) and Paradiso (Rolf-Göran Bengtsson). Sandro is the sire of more than 40 licensed sons, the most successful being Silvio 1 and II, Sandro Song, Sao Paulo, Sandro Boy and Salido Z.
Successful competitors include; Salido Z (Debbie Stephens), Sagrat (Guy Goosen), Sakrus (Debbie Winkler), Sympathico (Ersting-Engemann), Silas M (Yanix Elad), Sheila and Sundance Kid (Franke Sloothaak) and Santorin F (Fritz Fervers) and of course, the World Cup Champion, Sandro Boy.
As a broodmare sire Sandro has also been exceptionally successful: Lasango (Kurt Reinacher), San Serai Funky Town (Björn Nagel), Lausano (René Tebbel), Risandro (Samantha McIntosh), Filias (Arnoldo Bologni), High Class (Royne Zettermann), Cappucino and Santa Fe (Marco Kutscher), Grand Soso (Markus Fuchs), Grand Soso II (Ulrik Kjaer) and High Stepper (Maria Gretzer) – all Grand Prix showjumpers, all out of daughters of Sandro.
Sandro is unique in that he is the only stallion son of the cross of Sacramento Song and Wahnfried – a cross that has also been very successful in producing dams of stallions. The stallions Lavell I and II, Atlantas Z and Campione, as well as international jumping horses, Cathleen (Meredith Beerbaum – then Michaels) and Zigeunerin (Rodrigo Pessoa) all came from that cross. Sandro’s dam, Dürte is the full sister of one of the most successful Puissance horses ever – Wabbs. Durte is also the dam of Harvey Smith’s Salvador.
Silvio I was the winner of the Performance Test at Adelheidsdorf in 1990, with very high marks for his jumping ability. Silvio has been the sire of a number of impressive stallion sons including Sunrise, Sir Lui, Sir Holtrup, Sergeant Pepper and Spider Murphy.
What is slightly more surprising is Sandro’s influence on dressage breeding. If we look at the stallions represented in the most recent (2004/5) Eylers’ German Stallion book, we find the jumping stallions, San Brasil (by Sao Paulo), Sandro Boy (out of a Grannus mare) and Santander H (out of a Contender mare) but there are more stallions promoted for dressage – all sons of World Young Horse Dressage Champion, Sandro Hit. There is Samba Hit (Reserve Champion at the 2002 Bundeschampionate in the 3 year old stallion class – and a full brother to World Six Year Old Young Dressage Champion, Poetin), Show Star (who was Champion in that 3 year old stallion class in 2002), the Westfalien state stud stallions, Sir Bedo and Sterling, the exciting young Danish stallion, Blue Hors Soprano, and Stedinger, a winner at the 2002 Oldenburg Stallion Days, and being out of a Landadel / Furioso bred mare, Stedinger might be that rare creature, an all-round stallion.
Of his dressage performers, Isabell Weth’s Satchmo by the Sandro son, Sao Paulo, is the most successful.
Sandro – re-christened Sandro Z – stood the last years of his life at the Zangersheide stud, where he died in August 2005.
In the survey of the world's top 75 jumping sires that appears in the French publication, Monneron 2007-2008, compiled by Bernard le Courtois (visit www.brullemail.com), Sandro is 37th with 8 CSI winners including World Cup Champion, Sandro Boy. His best stallion son, Silvio I is 56th with 6 CSI winners including world number 11 - Shutterfly.

Dam Sire:
Chin Chin
Holsteiner, KWPN,
born 1978, 1.68m
|
Chin Chin had a very impressive jumping career. Together with his former owner and rider, Jaime Azcarraga from Mexico, this combination participated for more than five years at international level. In 1988 Chin Chin won five consecutive times in the North American League on the World Cup circuit and competed in Seoul at the Olympic Games where he placed sixth individually. Four years later, he competed again at the Olympics in Barcelona. In 1990, Chin Chin and Jaime Azcarraga started in the first edition of the World Equestrian Games in Stockholm. In 1989 and 1990, he was placed in the final of the World Cup in both Dortmund and Tampa.

Grand Dam Sire:
Grannus
Hanoverian,
1972 - 1993 1.68 m
|
Grannus - not just a name but a symbol, a trademark. A symbol of a potent individual with an aura only a very few are blessed with.
With a lifetime total of well over five million DM so far, the off-spring of this glossy black Hanoverian stallion which include seven Olympic horses and more than 60 approved stallions, have made him one of the greatest sires in the world.
