Fairbanks was champion of the 2009 Oldenburg Stallion Licensing in Vechta, Germany. He quickly became the crowd favorite with his spectacular performance, extravagant gaits, impressive jumping ability and willing temperament. Fairbanks completed his 30-day test very successfully. In a field of 49 stallions, including Bundeschampionat winners, licensing champions and top-priced stallions, he placed third with an overall score of 8.74. He repeated this success in 2011 at his 70-day test. He was the only stallion to score over 100 in both jumping and dressage, showing versatility and willingness under saddle. Sire Flemmingh, a successful dressage stallion in the Netherlands sired international dressage horses Krack C (ridden by Anky van Grunsven) and Lingh (ridden by Edward Gal). A Flemmingh daughter was overall champion at the National Dutch Mare Show. Fairbanks’ dam, SPS Identify, was highly praised at her mare performance test. Damsire, Inselfürst, was the winner of his stallion test and successfully shown in advanced level dressage. Full sister to Fairbanks’ granddam, Alegra, produced stallions San Brasil, a Bundeschampionat participant and Celle stallion Los Angeles. In 2011, Fairbanks presented his first outstanding foal crop in Germany which were representative of himself; large expressive foals with long lines, beautiful heads and necks and outstanding movement. As a result, Fairbanks was awarded Premium due to his exceptional stallion test results, impressive foals and his overall development as a top breeding stallion. This was especially remarkable as he was not primarily breeding in the main Oldenburg breeding region and therefore had to stand up to strong competition for this award. He has sired many Elite and Premium foals. Son Fairbanks- Paragon-Jazz owned by Elin Houe of Braulstrup, Denmark, was selected for the Danish stallion grading. His offspring are exceeding all expectations. Son Flair Royal was twice French Young Horse Champion as a 4 and 6-year-old. Owners comment on the modern type and wonderful temperament he consistently produces. In 2021, Film Star made a successful debut at the Adequan® Global Dressage Festival in the 4-year-old test.
