The S dressage successful Villeneuve was the acclaimed 1st Reserve Champion at the 2014 Westphalian licensing in Münster-Handorf.

Via bronze at the Bundeschampionat for four-year-old stallions under Laura Strobel and a fourth place in the class for five-year-olds, he went on to the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses another year later, where Villeneuve won the silver medal.

As a seven-year-old, Villeneuve made his winning debut in St. Georges dressage under Olympic champion Dorothee Schneider, and in 2020 the pair competed in the Nuremberg Burg Cup Final.

In 2023 Laura Strobel returned to the saddle of Villeneuve - with great success! The two became series winners in the one-star tours of Ankum, Aachen, Munich and Achleiten. This makes them the current number one in the CDI* world rankings!
