Handsome was the nick name of the Danish race horse, Fly Society when he bolted out of the starting stalls in Klampenborg north of Copenhagen. Dark, elegant and with a talent for dressage he was elected breeding stallion for the Danish Warmblood race when he was seven and still on the turf. And that is not the end of the story as the Germans have also taken him on; first for the Trakhener breed and now for the Oldenburgers. At age elleven, Fly Society xx, which is his new breeding name, is literally flying.
