In 2010, Estobar NRW was ridden by Wolfhard Witte winning several dressage competitions for young horses at M level and qualified effortlessly for the prestigious national championship for young horses in Warendorf.

In 2011, Estobar NRW found easy success winning at S level. Towards the end of 2011, Hubertus Schmidt became his trainer and without doubt, this son of the talented Ehrentusch will be a promising addition to Hubertus Schmidt’s stable. Dressage experts agree that he is a promising talent destined for the highest honours thanks to his extraordinary movements, great collection, willingness and extreme rideability.

Estobar NRW’s first foal crop more than met all expectations. His foals are exceedingly modern type, with good conformation and excellent movements and several of them were sold for high prices through the NRW pedigree auction. “This first crop of foals is looked upon as being particularly highly talented dressage prospects.” Quotation by Dr F. Marahrens, CEO and Head of Breeding of the Westfälischen Pferdestammbuch. 2010 saw Estobar NRW’s debut as a sire with his first crop to be licensed at the 20th NRW main licensing. Four of his sons were presented, the largest lot by one sire in the group of young stallions. Of the two sons that were licensed, one was a Premium Stallion who was sold for 80.000 € to a dressage stable in Hesse, Germany. As of 31 October, 2011, he has two approved and recognised sons and one state premium daughter.
