In only 5 seasons of breeding to date, Fabio has proved himself as one of New Zealand's most exciting sires. In 2023 the 3 highest scoring horses inspected on the NZWA Classification tour were sired by Rosari Fabio which earned our stud the 'Leading Breeders Award.' His offspring received the highest scores in New Zealand at the 2020, 2021 and 2023 NZWA Classification assessments including the 2020 Tour Champion Foal and the Champion Colt Foal, 2021 Champion Filly Foal and 2023 Champion Colt Foal. He also sired two NZWA Champion dressage bred foals and champion eventing foal, with almost all his progeny receiving either merit or excellence awards. Fabio's offspring out of a variety of mares have also been awarded multiple championships in the sporthorse youngstock ring at Horse of the Year 2020 and 2024.
Described by German Assessor Matthias Werner as a horse with "huge stallion presence." Fabio received an Excellence rating at his stallion licensing. He received a score of 8.5 for overall confirmation and a 9 for his head. His walk is "ground-covering with good rhythm" (8.5), trot "supple through the back, with good mechanic at the front and sharp hock action behind" (8.5) "huge canter, very uphill and ground-covering' (9) for an overall movement score of 8.5. He has a very kind eye and an incredibly trainable temperament which he passes onto his offspring. People regularly comment that they have never met such easy, relaxed youngsters as when handling his progeny.
