The Holsteiner Horse & Breeding of the Future

During the European Championships in Madrid the Holsteiner showjumping horses showed overall the best quality. In the individual results they took places two through five. By virtue of its talent as a jumping horse the Holsteiner is loved the whole world over. Other studbooks such as Hanoverian, KWPN, BWP and Zangersheide are gratefully using the Holsteiner genetics to improve the performance of their breeding products.

In 2011 the Holsteiner Verband had a prosperous year in sport. The climax for the Holsteiner was in Madrid at the European Championships. Corradina (by Corrado I, Stamm 104A) scored silver with Carsten Otto Nagel and Carlo (by Contender, Stamm 318A2) bronze with Nick Skelton. The top five was made complete through New Orleans (by Colbert GTI, Stamm 504) with Gerco Schröder and Coupe de Coeur (by Calido, Stamm 4232) with Henrik von Eckermann. Thanks to the already named Corradina and Lambrasco (by Libero H, Stamm 6372) with Janne Friederike Meyer Germany could take the team gold with them back home as well. The same Lambrasco and Meyer, earlier this year, have won the most important Grand Prix in the world, the one in Aachen. Also, Casall (by Caretino, Stamm 890) has shown his talent this year with Rolf-Göran Bengtsson. Casall, now considered the top stallion owned by the Holsteiner Verband, won two Grand Prix in the Global Champions Tour.
