Amorex has been much more a breeding stallion than a show stallion. Not his fault at all, simply how it worked out with work and lifestyle. He is trained to third level with classical trainer Bettina Drummond. Although he was only shown on a limited basis, he still has some impressive results. and now his offspring are doing very well in the show ring.

Amorex at age four, winning the USDF Breeders' Series, Reg. 6. He was named Grand Champion, Mature Horse, Dressage. Photo below was from the same show; he won many championships that day, including:
• 1998 at the the Monroe Classic Sporthorse Show, year-end championship, Amorex was awarded:
 -Champion Four Year Old Dressage-Type Colt/Gelding
 -Reserve Champion Dressage-Type Male Horse
 -Grand Champion Dressage-Type Mature Horse (USDF Qualifier)
 -Champion Four Year Old, Dressage Suitability under saddle
 -USDF Breeders Series Grand Champion Mature Horse, Reg. 6

In 1999 Amorex completed his performance requirement for the Swedish Warmblood Association with the following USCTA Combined Training Tests: 
-1st Place, Open Novice, Whiskey Hill Horse Trials
-3rd Place, Open Training, American Valley Horse Trials (and had only been jumping six months!)

In 2004, Amorex showed on a limited basis with FEI trainer Morgan Barrows. He is shown in the photos below with Morgan at one of the Donida summer shows. At the same show, he was 1st place in Open Training 4 with his owner Mary Baechler, who is a truly an adult amateur rider.

We also should mention that as a foal, Amorex was the foal champion at the regional inspection near Gothenburg, Sweden. He was 26 points, and invited to the national show at Elmia. He was unable to go for logistical reasons, but his foal inspection score of 9 on type, 8 on legs, 9 on gaits, for 26 points total, is similar to the score usually held by the national champion foal (this scoring system has since been replaced in Sweden). Below, photos of Amorex at age 6 and 9 months, in Sweden. (from video, sorry about the fuzziness)
