Stallion Show of the Holstein Association: Again online, but live!
(Elmshorn) It is the second time that the sires of the Holsteiner Verband Hengsthaltungs GmbH have had to present themselves to breeders online via ClipMyHorse.TV on February 5 from 2:30 p.m. since the beginning of the corona pandemic. The concept, which received a lot of praise and good reviews last year, is to be expanded and refined again in 2022.
The three to five-year-old stallions will not only show themselves in free jumping or in the course, but also in the stable, in the side picture and in the walk and trot in hand. "In the times of Corona, it is rather difficult for breeders to see the stallions live. Therefore we think that this additional service can help with mating decisions”, explains managing director Norbert Boley. Only the free jumping of the three-year-olds is recorded in advance so that the live broadcast is not interrupted for the viewers on the screen for long breaks. In addition to the thoroughbred Interior Minister, there are Nohoval - the Nixon son who was recently discovered at the Westphalian licensing - and Update v. Uriko and Zuccarello v. Zuccero, who received their breeding license at the main licensing in Neumünster in November 2021. The four-year-old Camino Royal v. Clarimo. Keaton's half-brother is already four years old and, like all stallions of his age group, will be presented in an age-appropriate course. Specifically, these are the Dominator Z son Daikon, Dilaro by Dinken and of course the Champion Stallion of the Year 2020, Vigado by. Vigo d'Arsouilles. The five-year-olds are also eagerly awaited this year. Whether, for example, the reigning state champion "Characterful" by Comme il Faut, the Champion Stallion of 2019, Cahil by Cornet Obolensky, Cardentos v. Cardento and Dubliner v. Dinken.
In addition to our tried and tested team consisting of Rolf-Göran Bengtsson, Massimo Bonomi, Jesse Luther, Kimberly Kühl and Marten Witt, there will be a new face in the saddles of the somewhat older or more experienced stallions. We're talking about Sophie Hinners, who is coming from Pfungstadt and selling Million Dollar v. Plot Blue, the Federal Champion Crack by Cornet Obolensky and Daymian v. Darco will present in the course. And of course two things should not be missing at a presentation of the Holsteiner Verband stallions: Firstly, there are the well-tried sires that are shown in hand. Casall, Uriko and Clarimo should be mentioned here. And on the other hand, there are some videos of promising offspring of the association stallions, which can certainly be of help in mating decisions. Speaking of tradition: A well-rehearsed duo is responsible for the moderation and commentary, namely Tjark Nagel and Carsten Sostmeier.
