Falsterbo

In 2007 Falsterbo again won a series of advanced (S) level dressage tests up to Inter I, some of which with more than 72 percent. He also placed up near the top in the qualification for the Nürnberg Burg Pokal, making a seamless transition from his achievements in 2006. Falsterbo has an obvious double talent which he has proved by placing in elementary (L) level show jumping tests.

His first crop produced Fitzgeraldos who was licensed in 2005 and then proceeded to win several tests for young riding horses. Other Falsterbo off-spring such as Fiffikus/Sabine Egbers, Frisbee and Fair Dinkum placed corresponding to their age in tests for young dressage horses and show jumpers up to elementary (L) level.  In Canada, Falko took the “Senior Champion” and “Grand Champion Dressage Type” titles. Several of Falsterbo’s foals have won regional shows and were sold at the Hanoverian Elite Auctions for top prices.

His sire Fidermark was the Reserve Champion of his licensing, winner of his performance test, Bundeschampion of riding horses and then successful up to Grand Prix. More than 30 of his sons have been licensed. The dam, St.Pr.St. Bonita, won several tests for young riding horses before she produced Falsterbo’s three full sisters which all received State Premium: Finja, Fila and Florence. The dam’s sire Brentano II was the 2003 “Hanoverian Stallion of the Year”. The granddam, St.Pr.St. Feline, also a ribbon winner in tests for young riding horses, produced a filly by Weltmeyer named Wiona who is also owned by Louise and Doug Leatherdale/USA and is a member of the Canadian Dressage A team with her rider, Diane Creech. Falsterbo’s dam line is also known for the licensed stallions Leibwächter I, Wattenkieker, Prince Optimus as well as the sport horses Wakajama and Sterntaler-Unicef/both Ann Kathrin Linsenhoff.

In the December of 2012 Falsterbo had to be put down after severe colic.
