Oldenburg Impressions: A Visit with Johannes
Westendarp
November 30, 2003
Johannes
Westendarp and his wife Ines Westendarp are very respected
trainers of young dressage horses. Johannes is the
head rider at all the Vechta Elite Auctions and often
receives top quality mounts to compete at the Bundeschampionate.
Johannes trained and competed several Bundeschampionate
Champions such as licensed stallion Alabaster, Weltspitze,
Rendezvous, and Joan Sims' Der Euro. Johannes' wife
Ines became German Champion with ponies Di Baggio and
Pilgrim's
Red.
Besides training horses, Johannes is also a breeder,
mostly using his own licensed Oldenburg stallion Wolkentanz
II (Weltmeyer x Ludendorff). His barn is filled with
foals, yearlings and two year olds by his most beloved
sire and he says it always breaks his heart when
he has to sell one of his own bred horses. Pictured
you see a Wolkentanz II yearling who came
in
from
the
fields only a
couple of weeks ago. This filly easily let Alain pick
up all four hooves and she was excited to parade around
in the indoor ring. The photo almost makes you think
she's an Arabian.
