Verden, ottobre 2016 – Young futurity stallions, born in 2014, are awaited with anticipation in the Verden Niedersachsenhalle. Hanoverian stallion licensing and stallion sales are the top-notch events of the year, held this year from October 27 to 29. 90 two-and-a-half-year old youngsters will compete for the coveted title “licensed” on Thursday and Friday before they will be put up for auction on Saturday. Approved sires dominate the pedigrees of the futurity stallions. Many a spectacular career in breeding or sports has already started at the end of October in Verden.
Like the career of Desperados FRH at the stallion sales thirteen years ago. The gold medal at the Olympics in Rio this year was another highpoint in his career. His son Destacado, nominated Premium Stallion at the 2015 stallion licensing, won the gold medal at the Bundeschampionate in Warendorf only shortly after. This year, the Hannoveraner Verband presents another amazing collection of young stallions, complying with the highest international demands of both, stallion raisers and ambitious competition riders.
The 2016 Verden stallion licensing and stallion sales will again be a special event, featuring young breeding and sports prospects for highest demands. There will be an amended time schedule for the 2016 licensing event. It is the first time that the lungeing presentation will be included in the licensing judgement, and the presentation of stallions on the triangle will already start earlier, at 9:00 am. There will be no walk presentation on the triangle, the walk will be assessed before and after the lungeing. Thursday afternoon is reserved for the lungeing presentation of stallions in the Niedersachsenhalle.
This creates room for an additional show program with former stallion licensing stars on Saturday morning, including the award ceremony of premium stallions. The Hanoverian Stallion of the Year 2016 will also be nominated against this backdrop.
The stallions born in 2014 convince with their huge variety of different dressage and show jumping bloodlines. The sires Franziskus, Quantensprung and Diacontinus are represented with the largest number of progeny. De Niro highlights his importance as dressage sire one more time, as sire himself or through his son Dancier. He is also represented on the maternal side of quite a couple of pedigrees.
The pedigrees of the young jumpers feature international bloodlines such as Cornet Obolensky Toulon or Diamant de Semilly. Not to forget Stakkato and his sons and grandsons. The young stallions descend from successful damlines and performance tested dams. “A high level of performance density, backed by super genetic backgrounds, characterizes this licensing collection,” says breeding manager Dr. Werner Schade.
