Rosencharmeur, the 2002 Westfalian Stallion Licensing
Champion
The
2002 Westfalian Stallion Licensing in Munster-Handorf,
Germany, honoured stallion Rosencharmeur as 2002 Licensing
Champion. The 12th NorthRhine Westfalian Stallion Licensing
was a true success. Not only were large crowds present
for the Licensing from December 2 to 4, 2002, but the
collection of stallions was also very impressive this
year.
Rosencharmeur was the best young stallion of the 2002
lot. Bred by Michael Schulte from Batenbrock, Germany,
prepared for the licensing by Thomas Koldehoff from
Vechta and owned by Gestüt Domselshof in Kerken, Germany,
Rosencharmeur charmed the judges of approval commission
with his elasticity and top conformation. Rosencharmeur
is by Rosenkavalier out of Melika (by Mon Cheri).
Reserve
champion was the Rhinelander bred Riccione x Ferragamo
offspring, wonderfully named Rosegarden. The dark bay
stallion is bred and raised by Horst Widdig from Neunkirchen,
Germany, and the famous stallion station St Ludwig purchased
him for their breeding programme.
Many stallions were sold after the licensing, and the
most expensive one was the superbly trotting Lord of
Loxley, a Lord Sinclair x Landadel get with great dressage
potential. The Swiss Balz Wolfensberger was willing
to pay top money for the horse. Just as with his other
mount Weltfurst, Wolfensberger keeps his horses in training
with Sabine Rueben in Aachen, Germany.
