First time i've written a report so hope its ok
<u>OL Licencing Champion</u>
Catalogue No. 18
Furst Heinrich x Donnerhall x Classiker x Weltmeister
Out of St Pr/El St Maradonna, full sister to the dam of last years champion stallion 'Sieger Hit' (Sandro Hit), this dam also produced a Dimaggio licenced stallion last year.
Not for sale through the auction. This stallion was bought as a foal in the elite auction in 2006 for 110,000 euros.
<u>OS Licencing Champion</u>
Catalogue No. 66
Last Man Standing x Contender x Lorenz x Cor de la Bryere
Really fantasic horse, lovely modern type, very keen in the loose jumping, making a super shape with quick reflexes and very tidy with front and back legs. Sold 'officially' 1.15 million, unofficially alot less than that.
<u>OL Premium stallions </u>
1a Furst Heinrich x Donnerhall x Classiker x Weltmeister
1b Sir Donnerhall x Rubin-Royal x In Extenso x Castro (really nice, super mover)
1c Dimaggio x Landadel x Furst x Vierzehnender xx (very nice stallion, big active movement, very good canter, great type)
1d Sir Donnerhall x Painter's Row xx x Rubinstein I x Absinth (quite close behind)
1e Sandro Hit x Donnerhall x Feldherr x Grundyman xx (full brother to Sir Donnerhall, photo in catalogue does him no justice, he was lovely type and amazing mover, more substantial than Sir Donnerhall)
1f Florencio I x Sion x Figaro x Goldstern
1g Chambertin x Landadel x Fruhlingstraun II x Sinus xx
1h Stedinger x Rohdiamant x Veritas aa x Zeus (very good hind leg, lots of flexion, good mover, with a lovely type although more substantial)
1i Carthago x Cotinue x Pilot x Waldlowe (good jump, but the type didn't do anything for me, long in back, croup high(could just be growing) short in croup with a high set tail, sausage like body, will be interesting to see him at 5/6 yrs to see how much is just him growing and whether he deepens etc, he is owned by schockemohle perhaps why he made it into the premium lot).
1j Furst Heinrich x Welt Hit I O x Guter Stern x Effekt (nice type, very model like, good mover and correct but imo not exciting in the movement)
<u>OS Premium Stallions</u>
1a Last Man Standing x Contender x Lorenz x Cor de la Bryere
1b Chacco-Blu x Pino II x Polydor X Matrox (a lot like his father in looks, good technique, tidy with legs, carefull too. He did have one down due to being bought in too slowly and too calmly, he tried and was honest but just didn't have enough to get over and leave it up, bought round again and although he lost a little bit of confidence he was brave and jumped beautifully)
1c Argentius x Exorbitant xx x Ahorn Z x Merengo (really nice, lovely type, quite substantial, huge shape but didn't rush and was calm and carefull)
The Daddy cool x Caprimond x Argentan x Wicht, was stuning i really liked him a lot! Great movement, lovely model, not a great set of neck though which was a shame, i was surprised he didn't make it into the premium lot as their were others who again weren't completely but excelled in other areas justifying their possition as a premium stallion.
It is interesting to see the stallions at the trot up on hard ground and to look at then walking and trotting towards and away rather than just from the side, also, i think your opinion changes on some stallions as the time goes on and some stand out straight away which again is quite interesting.
The introduction of lunging on the first day was quite difficult for some of the stallions, they were fine in trot but quite a few of them really strugled with canter on a fairly small circle esp in an exciting environment, but it was interesting to see their temprements when asked the question of being lunged when under pressure.
The running loose and free jumping is always good and sometimes you see some surprises, and horses aren't what you expected in both good/bad ways, but overall it was again very interesting and a pleasure to watch.
Despite the respect earned for these great stallions, i couldn't help but feel a little sadness for the fact that the horses that did well would have more of a chance of spending the next however many years in their stables (although this is fairly normal in germany i think it is worse for the stallions because of their value and fear of injurey etc) when although they look so grown up they are only young, and although we can't have testosterone fueled colt flouncing around, life does get quite serious quite quickly for these boys. However that is the industry and i guess there are ups and downs.
<u>OS Main Premium</u>
1a Collado, Cassini I x Landgraf I x Cor de la Bryere
1b Carenzo, Calido I x Freedom x Gardestern (we have a mare in foal to him, so it was really nice to see him up for a main premium as they are selected on both their own sporting achievements and on they produce)
<u>OL Main Premium</u>
1a San Amour, Sandro Hit x Plasir D'Amour x Figaro (i love him, i like him more every time i see him and esp because he produced something so nice out of our mare Waikiki, but to be fair to Kiki she has also produced a licensed Oldenburg stallion (by Sandro Hit so she's a pretty good mummy too)
1b Swarovski, Sandro Hit x Don Gregory x Rubinstein I (really nice stallion and i saw some lovely foals from him at the sprehe foals show and branding event and they were good movers, but esp they were all lovely elegant types)
1c Rosandro, Rosario x Sandro Hit x Espri (he was alot prettier than you would expect from a Rosario, maybe he took from SH on this, but he was a little but shorter in the limb and a little bit heavier in type, less elegant than the SH stallions he was with, but still a lovely horse, just different and he really moved.
Edited to say, not a mini report as title says, actually quite a long one, LOL!!
