Stallion Station Klatte Sold Granulit and Ruiz Soler
October 17, 2003
 Hendrik
Klatte of Gestut Klatte in Lastrup, Germany, has sold
two of his pride stallions, Granulit and Ruiz Soler.
The white power ball stallion Granulit has found a new
home in South Africa.
Born in 1992, the Oldenburg stallion Granulit is a
Grannus x Romanow x Herold offspring and was licensed
in 1994. Presented at the licensing by his owner Mr.
Hinnerk, Granulit made a big impression with his three
strong gaits. The stallion moved to the Klatte station
in 1995 after having won the Stallion Performance Test
in Neustadt/Dosse with 137.81 points. At Klatte, Granulit
bred for many years and was trained and competed in
dressage (PSG level) and show jumping (M-level). , and
was last standing at stud at Gestut Kothe in Wacken,
Germany. Famous Granulit offspring is the stallion Get
Smart and the auction horse Gelasius.
 Klatte's
7-year old Ruiz Soler attracted the interest of an American
and the bay stallion was immediately sold to the United
States. "We decided to sell him because it was
just a very good offer," Hendrik Klatte explained.
Although Ruiz Soler is sired by dressage stallion Rubinstein,
his dam Larentina (by Argentinus x Leibnitz) provided
a strong influx of show jumping talent into Ruiz' blood.
Ruiz was Stallion Performance Test winner in Neustadt/Dosse
scoring 9s and 10s on rideability and show jumping.
Ruiz Soler has a full brother, Rubinstolz, who was licensed
in 2000 in Baden Wurttemberg.
With the departure of Granulit and Ruiz Soler, Stallion
Station Klatte will still have 12 licensed stallions
up for stud. Argentinus is of course Klatte's most famous
sire, but his collection also include young stars Abke,
Farewell III, Dr Doolittle and the lovely 13-year old
Levantos I.
