Stallion Prospects with Desirable Genetic Diversity
(GER/Neumuenster) Step by step, horse shows have been getting under way again. And breed events are permitted again under strict hygiene regulations with restrictions as to the number of visitors. This also includes the highlight on the calendar of the Holsteiner horse enthusiasts. And so it’s all about the Holsteiner horse once again in the Neumuenster Holsten hall from 29 to 32 October.
69 stallion prospects have been carefully produced for this event and their breeders and owners are eagerly waiting for these days bound to have a major impact on their future careers. The star sires Casall and Cornet Obolensky have the greatest influence on the 2020 stallion candidates. But also Diamant de Semilly is represented by various sons and grandsons, providing the desired genetic diversity through Diarado, Dominator Z and Dinken. Of course the selection also includes offspring by Colman and his son Catch, younger stallions like Quiwi Capitol and Carbol and “classic“ Holsteiners like Cascadello I, Livello or for example Clarimo. And then the sons of international sires and so-called out-cross stallions like for example Quabri de L’isle SF, I’m Special de Muze BWP, Flipper d‘Elle SF and Emerald van het Ruytershof, all of which might offer interesting genetic alternatives with one offspring each.
“This age group has a relatively wide genetic range”, breeding director Dr. Thomas Nissen sums up. As of now, pedigrees, relation performance, pictures and videos of the stallion candidates are available for online review on

From Neumuenster into the world
On Thursday, 29 October, the grading kicks off as usual with the colts presented on hard ground – those with dressage blood will also be longed – and finally all colts shown at a walk. Friday will see the free-jumping and at-liberty presentations whereas the approval status and the champion stallion will be announced on Saturday. The battle of the bids where the stallions offered for sale will be knocked down to new owners is held on Saturday 31 October after the riding horse auction sale.
“Hybrid auction sales have become common practice this year”, says head of auction, Roland Metz. You may bid for your future Holsteiner live in the Holsten hall, as always on the phone or comfortable and convenient online from any place in the world. In the past, stallions sold at Neumuenster have frequently excelled in their later career: for example Quiwitino by Quiwi Dream-Caretino left the Holstenhall stallion graded and with new owner and is now a jumper successfully shown at international level by Felix Hassmann. Fischer Wild Wave by Water Dance TB -Acobat II changed hands through the auction sale of the non-licensed colts and is now making a name for himself as an eventer with Michael Jung. Cordalis by Connor-Cassini II, this year’s Holsteiner four-year-old State Champion with Antonia Brinkop, came to the Brinkop family of Aukrug from Neumuenster as a non-licensed colt, as well. The elite riding horse auction sale collection comprises 33 lots from three-year-old youngster to experienced sport horse, which may be tried out until 27 October prior to being put to auction on Saturday. The entire event will be livestreamed by ClipMyHorse.TV.
