Westfalian Breeding News

A Fidermark x Ravallo offspring became the Licensing Champion at the 2004 Westfalian Stallion Licensing in Munster-Handorf, Germany. Bred and presented by Hermann Schult, this dark bay Fidermark offspring is out of State Premium Mare Reine Freude

(Ravallo x Fruhlingstraum II) and stood out with his modern conformation and excellent gaits. This Fidermark son will be up for stud either at Gilbert Bockmann's or Klosterhof Medingen.

2004 Reserve Licensing Champion was Furst Grandios, a Furst Heinrich son out of Verband Premium Mare Gritt (Argentinus x Barsoi xx). The dark bay stallion was bred by Andreas Klinker and presented for licensing by Hildegard Elmerhaus. This young fellow will be up for stud at Hengsthaltung Schmidt.

85 stallions were selected for licensing, 79 of them were actually presented in Munster Handorf. 57 (!!!) of them were licensed, 23 became premium stallion and 8 were nominated for the Champions' ring (Endring).

The quality of this year's Westfalian stallions was quite low with only a few highlights among 79 stallions. The Warendorf Landsgestut purchased 10 licensed stallions. Though prices have not yet been announced, it has been rumoured that they were extremely high this year, sometimes passing 300,000 euro for a licensed colt.

The crowd favorite of the 2004 Westfalian licensing was the excellently moving Rostropowitsch, a dark bay Rockwell x Coriograf B x Landadel. This colt got licensed.
