Brentano II, Hanoverian Stallion of the Year
2003
October 25, 2003
 Brentano
II has been proclaimed Hanoverian Stallion of the Year
2003 at the Hanoverian Stallion Licensing in Verden,
Germany, on Saturday October 25, 2003. Brentano II is
succeeding Warkant, who was the 2002 Hanoverian Stallion
of the Year. Brentano II received a beautiful laurel
in Verden and his breeder Dr. Max Schulz-Stellenfleth
got a check of 10,000 Euro and the Wohlkang statue.
Brentano II was born in 1983 at Max Schulz-Stellenfleth
in Kehdingen, Germany. He is by Bolero out of Glocke
(by Grande). Brentano II's damline is one of the most
important for Hanoverian breeding, as it roots back
to the Schumann-mare S449. Stallions Garibaldi I and
II, Wolkenstein I and II and Beltain, and Beatriz Ferrer-Salat's
Grand Prix horse Beauvalais are all related to Brentano
II. Westfalian Beltain (Bolero x Grande) is currently
a popular stallion in Warendorf, because his son Belissimo
M has achieved great successes at the Bundeschampionate
under Holga Finken.
Brentano II became Stallion Licensing Champion in 1985
and was acquired by Celle State Stud. In his Stallion
Performance Test, he achieved the best dressage score
and finished second overall with 129.97 points. In 1986,
Brentano II finished fourth in the Bundeschampionate.
He was trained to Prix St Georges level and participated
for many years in the Celle Stallion Parade. In 1987,
Brentano II moved to a stallion station in Natbergen,
and then to Ankum.
Brentano II sired 68 state premium mares and 15 licensed
Hanoverian sons. Daughter Bona Dea II was the Champion
Mare at the 2000 Natje-Niebuhr-Show and together with
her full sister Bona Dea I she won the Ratje-Niebuhr
Prize. Nineteen Brentano II descendants were so far
sold through the auctions, amongst them Debbie McDonald's
Brentino, Brasseur P, Bandito and Gestut Sprehe's Bon
Jovi.
Brentina and Debbie McDonald finished fourth individually
at the 2002 World Equestrian Games. Brentina's full
brother Barclay II is currently being competed at Grand
Prix level by Dutch Gonnelien Rothenberger. Young Rider
Christian Ritter successfully competes Bernstein. Bon
Jovi became 2003 Bundeschampion in the 4-year old division
and 2003 World Young Horse Champion Poetin claimed the
Bundeschampion's title in the 6-year old class. Poetin
is by Sandro Hit out of Poesie (by Brentano II).
