Hanoverian Stallion Licensing

Cloudy skies and rain could not dampen the energy of 109 2 1/2-year old stallions and their anxious owners at the Hanoverian Stallion Licensing in Verden Germany.  Conditioned, prepared and groomed to reflect even the dim light the young horses strutted their stuff.  After 2 days of presentation, free jumping and enduring crowds of interested breeders crowding their stalls and aisles, the champion emerged.  Tall, leggy, refined and black, the elegant son of the Hanoverian State Stud's thoroughbred sire, Natiello and out of a dam by Wenzel II was named Champion.  He was auctioned off for 300,000 DM to Denmark.  Reserve Champion was a dark bay stallion who wowed the crowd with his quick, scopey jumping.  He will go to the Hanoverian State Stud, and brought 330,000 DM at auction.  Third place was won by the high-priced stallion, a tall chestnut with long lines and 3 superb gaits.  He is by DeNiro, out of a Walt Disney/Grenadier mare and sold for 530,000 DM. 

The "W" group of young stallions was presented first.  All had that flamboyant, elastic movement Weltmeyer is famous for.  Weltmeyer had 2 stallions licensed.   Wolkenstein II had 11/14 stallions licensed with 3 Premium (top fifteen).  Wolkentanz presented a group of 8 stallions, all with that "Wolkentanz Look".  Six were licensed, and 3 of those were Premium. Escudo I had 4 sons licensed, one Premium.  DeNiro had 3 sons licensed, one Premium, as did his sire, Donnerhall - 3 licensed, 1 Premium. Espri had 2 sons approved, as did Graf Top.  Alabaster had a son licensed, as did Carbid, Drosselklang II, Graf Grannus, Grand Cru, Hohenstein, Lanthan, Rabino and Werther.  

The 2001 Stallion Performance Test for Celle Stallions was won by a tall elegant black son of Escudo I named El Bundy (yes, Peg, that's right!).  Regardless, the stallion moves easily and freely at both the trot and canter and is very good to ride. Of course he is an excellent jumper.  Reserve Champion of the Performance Test was Provider, a light gray stallion with good rideability, an abundance of jumping talent and very good jumping bloodlines.  Other interesting new stallions were Weltano (Wolkenstein II/Calypso II/Domspatz), a lovely bay stallion who won the dressage section with lofty, rhythmic movements, excellent rideability, temperament and character.  Don Cavallo (Donnerhall/Weltmeyer) is a large-framed chestnut stallion with very good movements, especially a "9" walk, and excellent rideability.  He would be an interesting choice for thoroughbred mares.  White Match (White Star/Matcho/Trapper) is a charismatic bay stallion who charmed the entire audience during his brief performance.  While his bloodlines normally say "dressage", White Match is also an excellent jumper with very good technique over the fence and excellent rideability.  Carbanero (Carbid/World Cup/Absatz) is an elegant, tall chestnut stallion who should prove a versatile sire.  He is a good jumper, but also built for dressage, coming from a proven mare line.   Dr. Sieme at the Hanoverian State Stud is now working on freezing semen from these stallions.  We should know which will be available by the end of the year.

Werther, the very first Hanoverian stallion honored with the prestigious title, Hanoverian Stallion of the Year, died in January 2001.  Werther was a very important stallion in Germany, the US and the whole world. He produced international grand prix competitors in both jumping and dressage.  Werther ranked 5th in the 1999 USDA List of Stallions siring horses competing in dressage in the US, the top-ranked foreign-based stallion.  Some of his famous offspring include Willy the Great, competed by Hilda Gurney, Westerland, also competed by Hilda Gurney, Wordperfect, competed by Debbie MacDonald, and many more.  He was the very first stallion I imported semen from, and our first two foals were by him, Wroyale, bred by Hilda Gurney, and the mare, Willow, bred by Betsy Raine.  Classically-Sired Whiz Kid, Willa, Wroyale, and Felina are all USDF ranked Werther offspring.  Classically-Sired Fonteyn won the Bari von Buedigan Prize for top AHS inspection score in 1996.  His foals are athletic, attractive and highly personable.  We will miss him.
