 Fidermark,
one of the most used stallions of the Westfalian studbook,
died unexpectedly in his stall at the Johann Hinnemann's
stallion station in Voerde, Germany. The cause of death
is not yet known, but an autopsy will be conducted at
the Veterinary College of Hannover. Fidermark was an
11-year old offspring by Florestan out of Watonga (Werther
x Einblick) dam. He was the reserve champion at the
1994 Westfalian Stallion Licensing in Munster and later
on won the Stallion Performance Test with 141.74 points.

to stardom. Van Baalen and Fidermark qualified for the
2000 Nurnberg Burgpokal Finals. The pair moved to Grand
Prix level only recently.
Fidermark had 21 licensed son, amongst which Furst
Piccolo, Feinsinn, Fiderwind, and Fiano are most known.
Son Furst Fabio was the first get to win the Bundeschampionate
in the 3-year old class. Fidermark also sired the auction
