2006 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.
