Auction<br />
Visiting Verden for the first time: Minister<br />
of Agriculture Christian Meyer<br />
in a conversation with the managing<br />
director of the State Stud Celle, Dr.<br />
Axel Brockman.<br />
the support of the Hanoverian Association Promoting<br />
Hanoverian Horses FRH.<br />
The price structure did not truly reflect the outstanding<br />
quality of the horses. For instance Sunciro by<br />
Sunlight xx/Velten Third (breeder: Wilhelm Stadtlander,<br />
Lilienthal; exhibitor: Ann-Kathrin Stadtlander,<br />
Niefern-Oeschelbronn) who is an licensed and<br />
performance tested half-bred sire with a show record<br />
is a half-brother to licensed Callaho’s Benicio<br />
who is the Bundeschampion of six-year old dressage<br />
horses in 2011. The blood-influenced horse is<br />
still developing. Clients from Spain recognized his<br />
potential and were delighted that they were able<br />
to buy this talent for 20,000.00 Euros. Sunciro will<br />
also remain in Verden to further his training – a<br />
true testament of trust in the work of the AAZ from<br />
new customers from Spain. Higher prices were<br />
also obtained, though. 14 out 50 Hanoverian riding<br />
horses sold within the price segment of<br />
25,000 Euros and above. The dressage mare ‘Sie<br />
ist schön U’ and jumper mare Valencia sold for<br />
42,000 Euros each. The elegant and beautiful<br />
black four-year old dressage prospect by Sir Donnerhall/Metternich<br />
(breeder/exhibitor: Jürgen Uhlenwinkel,<br />
Grethem) found a new home in the<br />
dressage stables of Jörg Schrödter in Leipheim in<br />
Bavaria. ‘Sie ist schön U’ proved her qualities in<br />
movement and rideability by obtaining placements<br />
in riding horse classes as well as with her performance<br />
in the mare test where she received a 9,0<br />
for her walk and a 9,0 as the guestrider score. She<br />
received an 8,0 for her trot, canter and rideability.<br />
Valencia is moving even further south. The twotime<br />
Ia-premium recipient by Valentino/Captain<br />
Paul (breeder/exhibitor: Heinrich Mues, Stolzenau-<br />
Nendorf) found a new owner amidst our new customers<br />
from Spain.<br />
Spain tops the export leader board of the 128 th Elite<br />
Auction with seven purchases. A total of 22<br />
participants sold to foreign customers. Four horses<br />
will eat their oats in Finland. Quite a cheerful<br />
group bought these horses. They took every<br />
Fritz:<br />
A dressage vision!<br />
An elite auction is always opened by one of<br />
the collections best participants! 2013 it<br />
was Fritz. The elegant chestnut stallion by<br />
Farewell III out of Loraine by Londonderry<br />
stimulated the interest of prospective buyers<br />
as well as the entire auction team during the<br />
two-week long training’s period. The ambitious<br />
five-year old dressage talent always<br />
gave his best in a calm and composed style.<br />
Auction rider Sascha Böhmke commented on<br />
the joint training period, “Fritz blossomed in<br />
the dressage ring. He attentively awaited the<br />
aids of the rider and accepted them with<br />
sensitivity. You also could not wish for a better<br />
partner when handling him on the<br />
ground. He loved to cuddle.”<br />
Fritz was born on the farm of Annegreth<br />
Winkelmann in Uplengen in 2008. “He was<br />
very confident and attentive as a foal. He reacted<br />
to anything new with curiosity and<br />
trust,” the keen horsewoman who has been<br />
dedicated to the Hanoverian breed since<br />
1973 tells. Currently there are eight broodmares<br />
on her farm. Fritz’ dam Loraine has<br />
delivered a total of three foals. Fritz has two<br />
half-sisters – a three- and a four-year old.<br />
Both are sired by premium stallion Fiorano<br />
and are still owned by Annegreth Winkelmann.<br />
“Unfortunately I sold Loraine last year<br />
but may get the chance to buy her back. She<br />
has produced exceptional offspring.” Annegreth<br />
Winkelmann already bred granddam<br />
Dunja. This daughter of Dream of Glory/Trajan<br />
also produced St. Pr. mare Princess Piccolina<br />
by Prince Thatch xx who was awarded a<br />
Ia-prize at the breed show in Aurich-Tannenhausen<br />
in 2007 where she also became class<br />
champion. After Prince Thatch xx the breeder<br />
selected Celle’s state stud sire, approval<br />
champion and gigantic producer Londonderry<br />
for her mare Dunja. Loraine was born in<br />
2004. Wunschtraum by Wiesenbaum xx who<br />
is victorious at S-level dressage competitions<br />
with rider Karen Schulze-Bergmann heads<br />
on the damline of Nordenburg at the competitive<br />
level. The chestnut has always been<br />
special for Annegreth Winkelmann, “I was<br />
moved to tears when I watched Fritz trot<br />
around the indoor arena in a relaxed fashion<br />
on Friday night during the gala evening.”<br />
The powerfully moving Fritz showed his potential<br />
as a youngster. Fritz made his public<br />
debut at only a few months of age at the<br />
German Foal Championships in Lienen where<br />
Henrik Klatte from Lastrup saw the promising<br />
chestnut. He seized the opportunity and<br />
bought the colt from Annegreth Winkelmann.<br />
After all sire Farewell III lives in<br />
Lastrup with Henrik Klatte. Fritz grew up in<br />
the colt fields in Lastrup and was scheduled<br />
to be presented at the stallion approval in<br />
Verden as well as in Redefin. The dressage<br />
aspirant Fritz could not be presented in Verden<br />
due to an injury. He was licensed and<br />
was awarded a premium at the inspection<br />
site in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Fritz completed<br />
the 30-day test at the stallion testing<br />
station in Neustadt/Dosse with a dressage<br />
score of 8,01. The athlete continued to master<br />
additional competitions with his excelling<br />
talent. He was presented in riding horse classes<br />
and dressage tests at the A level seven<br />
times and always finished in the ribbons.<br />
Fritz finished the final at Verden’s Riding<br />
Horse Championships last year in fifth place<br />
with rider Hermann Burger.<br />
Fritz is looking forward to a successful sport<br />
horse career. Even though his new owner is<br />
from Switzerland the five-year old Fritz will<br />
remain in Lower Saxony with Anna-Sophie<br />
Fiebelkorn.<br />
