For quite some years now this has been a fixture on the breeders’ calendar: on 1 May, the younger studs stood by the Holsteiner Verband stallion keeping GmbH present themselves to breeders and interested visitors. 

Weather permitting, the stallions are shown in the Herbert-Blöcker-outdoor arena. The event starts at 10:00am, with the three-year-olds presented under saddle followed by their four- to eight-year-old stable mates performing (short) courses suited to their age and training level. The two stallions Rolf-Göran Bengtsson has the ride on will also be in attendance. A selection of foals will round off the programme and provide the breeders with further information and some impressions in terms of inheritance. The event is presented by Henner Hoeschen together with trainer Hilmar Meyer, who is to give his opinion from a sporting point of view. And there a prizes to be won in a lottery, as well: three free stallion services will be drawn from the 1 € tickets you can buy at the event, with 100 percent of the proceeds earmarked for the Holsteiner young breeders.

Anybody prevented from attending may follow the stallions on ClipMyHorse.tv.  Admission is free – also to the info session “Quality Movement with Promise - Holsteiner Dressage Horses” from 14.00pm.
