VTV Dressage Stallion of the Year 2017
From an insider tip to a main sire! In the past years the gleaming, black main sire with a fascinating look, Fürst Wilhelm, made numerous headlines. One highlight followed by another: In fall 2014 his first two sons were licensed in Redefin, including the brilliantly true to type reserve dressage champion and Fürst William, meanwhile highly decorated as national champion and Bundeschampion.
The next headline didn’t take long: Fürst Wilhelm’s son Furtwängler was the celebrated price highlight, selling 135,000 Euro, at the 83rd Fall Elite auction in Vechta. And the stallion licensing fall 2015 brought further highlights sired by Fürst Wilhelm: At the Oldenburg licensing the black Fair Game showed a brilliant performance, which was followed by a win of the performance test. On the occasion of the Westphalian licensing the expressively moving, true to type Oldenburg liver chestnut stallion Festivo was licensed, while Frascino was licensed by the KWPN. His offspring have clearly inherited the gleaming type of their sire and were awarded premiums in many breeding areas. Fürst Wilhelm’s eldest offspring were often victorious or placed with the best in tests for young riding horses and dressage horses according to their age. Some of them participated also in the Bundeschampionat. In FN’s predicted breeding value statistics for dressage Fürst Wilhelm is ranked among the best with 139 points. In 2016 he received the title “Elite Stallion” in Mecklenburg due to his breeding record. For the same reason he was honored by the Oldenburg Verband as VTV Dressage Stallion of the Year 2017. As demanded from stallions, Fürst Wilhelm completed his performance record through the qualifier for the Bundeschampionat for dressage horses and was victorious up to Inter I-classes under Kristin Biermann.
Fürst Heinrich is his sire, followed by Sandro Hit, De Niro and Rubinstein I in the line of ancestors. In the “background”, from the Wernke breeding house, you can find the unforgotten DLG-mare Love Story (by Freiherr), who made history through her daughter Love Story II (by Akzent II), Oldenburg Champion Mare 1991 – what a pedigree!
