Celebrated Oldenburg Champion Stallions
The shining Oldenburg Champion Stallion of the Verband der Züchter des Oldenburger Pferdes (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 (co-owner Stutteri EVO) from Denmark. Sire Indian Rock is successful in the big class under Dutch rider Emmelie Scholtens. Dam Herbstromanze was a participant at the Elite Mare Show in 2016 and is the sister of the World Championship finalist Sir Skyfall OLD by Sandro Hit, now successful in Prix St. Georges under Katrin Burger. The Grand Prix horses Saphira Royal/Kristina Bröring-Sprehe and Sergio Leone/Jan Ebeling, USA, are also from this line.
Oldenburg's Breeding Director Bernhard Thoben says about the champion 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 endowed with great overview and much blood and with three evenly outstanding basic gaits. A stallion with rarely seen totality and a good alternative over the fine pedigree. A pedigree that was cultivated 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 along for us. A stallion where one looks forward to breeding and sport. We sincerely congratulate breeder Andrea Bechheim and exhibitor Helgstrand Dressage on this champion stallion at the Oldenburg Verband in 2021."
A stallion by Fürst Toto - Royal Classic - Fürst Piccolo - Wolkenstein II, bred and exhibited by Arndt Schwierking, Barver/Lower Saxony, was awarded silver in the premium lot of Oldenburg stallions with dressage emphasis. The strong moving stallion is the brother of the Grand Prix successful Sephora S by Sir Donnerhall II OLD and the Dutchman Patrick van der Meer as well as the premium stallion Bowmore by Bordeaux for the Wettlkam stud of the Müller family. A noble black stallion by Suarez - Dante Weltino - Rubinstein I - Traumdeuter/T., bred by Nina Sixtensson, Sweden, and exhibited by the owners Maurice & René Tebbel, Emsbüren, shone with bronze. The Grand Prix winners Rubin Royal OLD/Hendrik Lochthowe and Romanov Blue Hors/Hans Peter Minderhoud, NED, also come from the Rulli-Rudilore line.
