Oldenburg Stallion Licensing
Florencio Offspring Fascinates at Oldenburg Licensing
Young stallions descending from the first crop of
double World Champion Florencio were up for
licensing for the first time and it was heart warming
to see the outstanding quality that this bay Florestan
x Weltmeyer sire has produced.
The fourth placed premium stallion was the lovely
Florencio x Donatelli x Goldstern x Makuba xx. This
black colt
had a beautiful face and a good conformation. He moves
with much suppleness, using his entire body. The stallion
does push up his neck a bit too much in trot and his
walk was good on the second free jumping day, but it
deteriorated a bit on the third selection day. Gerd
Sosath purchased
this horse from Christoph Börgel at auction for 82,000
euro.
The
best moving Florencio was the Florencio x Pinkus x
Hitchcock x Jet Stream xx, bred by Johannes Veenhuis
and presented by dressage rider Ann Kathrin Linsenhoff,
who purchased the colt as a foal at the Vechta Elite
Foal Auction. This bay Florencio did not make the premium
ring, but he
had such lovely paces. He slightly moved with a round
front leg but he was active and electric behind and
"dressage" just radiated off him. Standing
only 162 centimeters high, this bay sold for 75,000
euro to Mr Sieverding and former German young rider
Julia Katherina von Platen.
Seven Florencios were presented at the licensing and
four were licensed. Florencio clearly left his mark
on his progeny. All Florencios moved with good suppleness,
had decent walks and pretty faces. Most of them were
a bit too compact in their conformation, but generally
the Florencios made a very good impression.
