Descendant:
In First Date, the blood of various German top sires is combined together. His father Fürstenball won the Bundeschampionat in 2011, was a finalist twice at the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses and he already produced several show champions. He was appointed as an elite stallion at the Danish studbook. His father Fürst Heinrich started his career very promising by winning the World Championship Young Dressage Horses, but he died young.
First Date's maternal grandfather is Small Tour stallion Dancier, a son of top sire De Niro. Then we find the influential modelmaker Sandro Hit, who became world champion at the six-year-old dressage horses as a six-year-old, followed by Feiner Stern and Pik Bube I in the maternal line.
