A Stallion of Exceptional Quality and World-Class Pedigree, dam of Danny Ocean is sister to the dam of Hesselhoej Double Up.

Danny Ocean is an elegant and exceptionally expressive stallion with a modern, correct type and three outstanding gaits. With his powerful movement, outstanding rideability and an extraordinary pedigree, he represents the complete package for modern dressage breeding.

He combines the influence of Hesselhoej Donkey Boss with one of the most remarkable mare families in modern Danish breeding – the same family behind the premium stallion Hesselhoej Double Up, who is currently making his way onto the international Grand Prix stage with Swiss rider Estelle Wettstein.

Within the first four generations of Danny Ocean’s pedigree, no fewer than eight Grand Prix horses can be found.

Danny Ocean impresses with a trot of great shoulder freedom and exceptional elasticity, combined with impressive mechanics in both the forehand and hindquarters and powerful push from behind. His canter is naturally uphill with a strong hind leg and a clear ability to both collect and lengthen. The walk is pure, relaxed and very ground-covering – a well-known trademark of offspring by Hesselhoej Donkey Boss.

Outstanding pedigree

Danny Ocean is by the premium stallion Donkey Boss, winner of the prestigious Aage Ravn Trophy. At his performance test he achieved outstanding scores including 10 for temperament, 9.5 for trot, walk and rideability, and 9 for canter.

Already with his first crop, Donkey Boss produced a premium stallion that sold for €2 million at the Hannoveraner Verband auction.

His full brother, the World Champion Hesselhoej Downtown, has also made a significant impact on breeding with exceptional offspring, including Mare of the Year 2024 and the Danish 4 year old championship winner Søbakkehus Miss Malfoy (2025). Both Donkey Boss and Downtown have achieved remarkable success with relatively few offspring.

Elite mare line of world-class quality

Danny Ocean originates from one of the most successful mare families in Danish breeding.

His dam, Søbakkehus Mia Amore, is the dam of the young horse championship winner Søbakkehus Maude (by Hesselhoej Donkey Boy), who also competed in the World Championships for Young Horses final. She is also the dam of Søbakkehus Delayed, who achieved 8.4 at the Danish Young Horse Championships as a 4-year-old.

What makes this mare family truly extraordinary is that Mia Amore is the sister to the dams of several approved and premium stallions, including:

Hesselhoej Double Up
Hesselhoej Gnags
Søbakkehus First Mover

She is also the sister to the dam of Mare of the Year 2024 and the 4-year-old Championship Winner 2025, Søbakkehus Miss Malfoy.

The granddam, silver medal mare Søbakkehus Mia Bella, competed successfully at Grand Prix level and won the Danish 4 year old championship. She has had a profound influence on breeding as the granddam of numerous top-performing horses.

The great-granddam, Lyndelygaards Mai Tai, was awarded Mare of the Year and still holds the highest performance test result ever recorded.

Danny Ocean represents a truly exceptional mare family that has consistently produced elite sport horses and breeding stallions.

Foal Guarantee for Breeders

The Foal guarantee covers breeders whose mare does not get in foal, or loses the foal before birth.

If the mare does not become pregnant in the current breeding season: Hesselhoej offers the breeder the amount of 1. rate for the next breeding season.
If the mare loses the foal after the 2. rate is paid: Hesselhoej offers the breeder the 2. rate amount for the next breeding season.
Please note that the 2. rate will be “free”, but that the 1. rate must be paid again.

This gives the breeder extra security if the mare does not foal, or if the mare loses the foal after the 2. rate is paid.
