Out of the fantastic silver World Champion and Bundeschampion winner, Secret
Extremely harmoniously built with a strong topline. Select Me works wonderfully throughout his entire body, always rhythmically and with plenty of elasticity and engagement.
At his licensing in Danish Warmblood in 2024, he not only achieved his licensing for 3-year-old stallions but also earned the honor as a premium stallion with words of praise from the judges, who described him as: "a large-framed and high-set stallion. He has a long, well-defined crest, a well-formed muscular croup, and he also has an exceptionally functional and supple topline in movement. He has shown us excellent function in all three gaits every time we have seen him. He is light-footed and powerful at the same time. He is incredibly supple with optimal use of elbow and knee, and he has shown us elasticity and uphill tendency in movement, regardless of the tempo he has been asked to work in." His overall assessment scored a total of 9, including 9 for walk and trot, and 9.5 for canter.
