Seraphin made his debut under his trainer Linda Schmidt in riding and dressage horse competitions, securing two second places. He also performed brilliantly in his stallion performance test at the Oldenburg State Tournament in Rastede. Right from his first crop, his extremely successful foals were honored with the elite title and sold for high prices at auction.
Seraphin is closely related to Semmieke Rothenberger's U25 double European champion Flanell and the successful Nations Cup and Grand Prix jumper Quinaro. His sire So Unique, himself a son of triple dressage world champion Sezuan and grandson of the influential Olympic stallion Zack, was a Hanoverian premium stallion, top seller at the stallion market, Bundeschampion and is being prepared for a career in Grand Prix dressage by Olympic multi-champion Isabell Werth.
His dam, Basta de Jeu (by Voice), is also the dam of Grand Prix winner Horizonte de Jeu. She is a half-sister to Cicero de Jeu (by Tuschinski) and Goliath de Jeu (by Don Schufro), both of whom have been successful internationally up to Inter I level. The Grand Prix horse Bialik (by Wonderboy) is a descendant of Basta de Jeu's half-sister Zulu de Jeu (by Jazz).
This is followed by the important stallion lines of Donnerhall, Contender, and Rubinstein.
The third dam, Mandoline, is a full sister to the licensed Grand Prix stallion Robin de Fontaines and a half-sister to the also licensed Donauwalzer.
