Friedensfürst Proclaimed Elite Sire at
2003 Trakehner Stallion Licensing
October 29, 2003
 At
the 2003 Trakehner Stallion Licensing in Neumunster,
the chestnut sire Friedensfürst has been proclaimed
Elite Sire by the Trakehner Verband. Based on the successful
achievements of his offspring and on his own wonderful
performances under Nicole Uphoff and Lisa Wilcox, Friendensfurst
earned this special title.
Friedensfurst was by Rondo out of Frieda (by Gelria)
and was bred and owned by Jorn Merzdorf from Ettenbüttel,
Germany. The chestnut sire, who was approved for the
Hanoverian and Trakehner Studbook, has two licensed
offspring, Pathmos and Lücke, and eight State Premium
Mares. His daughter Bandera (Friedensfurst x Diamant)
finished fourth at the 2003 Bundeschampionate in the
3-year old division, and she became 2003 Trakehner Mare
Champion of the Year in Neumunster.
Friedensfurst unfortunately passed away in June 2001
after a serious heart disease. He was then at the apex
of his career, as he earned many ribbons (36) and trophies
(20) at Intermediaire I level and was briefly shown at Grand
Prix level.
Friendensfurst scored high notes for his conformation
and its hereditability. His overall score was 131 points
(type 140, body 121, walk 109, trot 135, canter 130).
Due to these high marks, his fabulous offspring and
because frozen semen is still available of this stallion,
the Trakehner Verband decided to honour the late Friedensfurst
with the Elite Hengst title.
