2006 Oldenburg Stallion
Licensing
Sandro Hit Euphoria At One of the Best Oldenburg
Stallion Licensings Ever
November 26, 2006
 The
use of superlatives is required when describing the
quality of the stallions presented at the 2006
Oldenburg Stallion Licensing in Vechta, Germany, November
23-25, 2006. Never before has such a big amount of
horses of outstanding quality been exhibited. The
dominating impact of sire Sandro Hit on the Oldenburg
breed is undeniable.
At the 2006 Oldenburg Stallion Licensing it was the
Sandro
Hit offspring that dictated the standard of modernity,
elegance and performance of the young stallions that
were born in 2004.
The licensing committee, consisting of Georg Thole,
Soren Pedersen, Wolfgang Schulze Schleppinghoff, Wolfram
Wittig and Ulrich Henschke, licensed 36 of 67 presented
stallions and selected the Stedinger x Quattro B colt
as Champion
of the Licensing.
The
gigantic dark bay stallion was the favourite of the
public and each time received the most applause upon
entering the ring. The stallion had such an amazing
power trot,
showing great rhythm, engagement and superb suspension.
He also has a beautiful face and
neck.
 His
conformation and self expression have 'breeding sire'
and 'father figure' written all over, but one can not
deny that the way
he looked -- so mature
and
muscled up -- was a bit unusual and disturbing for
a 2,5 year old young colt. The Stedinger x Quattro
looked like an 8-year old stallion who has already
been breeding for 5 years, not a young colt who has
been plucked from the field and prepared for the
licensing. Also, the conformation of his hindquarters
wasn't textbook; they looked
very show jumperlike with a sloping top line from
croup to tail. The walk of this stallion wasn't
very good, but his superiority in trot and his gorgeous
self
expression earned him the title of licensing champion,
according to the selection committee.
 The
champion is by former licensing champion Stedinger
(Sandro Hit x Landadel) out of Tiara, who is by Quattro
B out of the Rastede Champion mare and State Premium
mare Lady Madonna (Landor S x Argentinus). The breeder
of this stallion is Clemens Fleming and the dark bay
colt is owned by Dietmar Knaup of Gestut Tenterhof
from Ratingen.
The stallion will be standing at stud at Hengststation
Böckmann.
He was not offered for sale in the auction.
