Oldenburg stallion licensing 2021
A son of Cornet Obolensky - Cassini I - Contender - Narew xx, bred by Thomas Koch, Haltern am See/North Rhine-Westphalia, and exhibited by Marc Idelmann from Wetschen/Lower Saxony, was awarded the winner's sash of the Springpferdezuchtverband Oldenburg-International (OS). The gray horse was discovered as a foal in Vechta. The line includes the successful horses Ballerina by Caretino/Markus Merschformann and Singu by Singulord Joter/Hans-Thorben Rüder.
Oldenburg's Breeding Director Bernhard Thoben reported on the jumping talent: "The winning stallion, a shining star in a white jacket. He completed the free jumping with very great potential, a strong opening hindquarter and a lot of ability, which is also reflected in his pedigree. He was bred through Cornet Obolensky - Cassini - Contender and then the circle closes, because the stallion was discovered here in Vechta at the foal auction and now presented here again for licensing. He was bred by Thomas Koch, our Champion Stallion of 2021 and the exhibitor here is Marc Idelmann. Congratulations."
The beaming Oldenburg Champion Stallion of the Association of Breeders of the Oldenburg Horse (OL) was an offspring by Indian Rock - For Romance I - K2/T. - Schwadroneur/T., bred by Andrea Bechheim from Reichshof/North Rhine-Westphalia and exhibited by Helgstrand Dressage Aps from Denmark. Sire Indian Rock is successful in the heavy class under Dutch rider Emmelie Scholtens. Dam Herbstromanze was a 2016 Elite Mare Show participant and is the sister of World Cup finalist Sir Skyfall OLD by Sandro Hit, now Prix St. Georges successful under Katrin Burger. The Grand Prix horses Saphira Royal/Kristina Bröring-Sprehe and Sergio Leone/Jan Ebeling, USA, also descend from the line.
Oldenburg's breeding director Bernhard Thoben says of the winning stallion, "When we were just standing here together the phrase 'the king enters the track' came up. That is certainly a bit like that. A stallion endowed with great grandeur and an incredible amount of charisma, highly modern. Also provided with great overview and much blood and with three evenly outstanding basic gaits. A stallion with rarely seen totality and a good alternative also over the fine pedigree. A pedigree that has been maintained for a long time by Manfred Rüter from Dorsten, a long-time Oldenburg breeder. It is nice that this is the case and that such horses come around for us. A stallion where one looks forward to the breeding and to the sport. We sincerely congratulate breeder Andrea Bechheim and exhibitor Helgstrand Dressage on this winning stallion at the Oldenburg Verband in 2021."
