The Holsteiner breed society has approved two dressage bred colts at the 2014 Holsteiner Stallion Licensing held in Neumunster, Germany, on 30 October - 1 November.

Twenty colts in total were approved for breeding of the sixty-one that were presented for the licensing. Seven of them were premium stallions.

The licensing champion was the bay jumper Caracho (by Cassilano x Quick Star SF). The reserve champion was the dressage bred colt Lorentins Best (by Lorentin I x Cornetto). The bay stallion is bred, reared and owned by Pia Grün.

The second dressage bred colt that was accepted for Holsteiner breeding was the dark bay colt Damon (by Damon Hill x Loutano x Reichsgraf x Fabulus). He impressed with his active and elegant gaits and was named premium stallion.  Damon is bred by Klaus Knickrehm, reared by Heinrich Blunck and owned by the Holsteiner breed society.

Four dressage colts in total were presented at the licensing. Swedish Grand Prix rider Charlotte Haid-Bondergaard acquired the not-licensed colt Kracker (by Krack C x Lorentin I x Flemmingh) for 19,500 euro at the auction.

The average price for a licensed stallion was 62,250 euro, for a non-licensed stallion 18,423 euro.
