Furst Wilhelm

“Sire Champion”

From an insider tip to a main sire! In 2014 and 2015, the gleaming, black main sire with a fascinating look, Fürst Wilhelm, made numerous headlines. One highlight followed by another: In fall 2014 his first two sons were licensed in Redefin, thereunder the brilliantly true to type reserve dressage champion and Fürst William, meanwhile highly decorated as Landes and Bundeschampion. The next headline didn’t take long: Fürst Wilhlem’s son Furtwängler was the celebrated price highlight, selling 135,000 Euro, at the 83^rd Fall Elite auction in Vechta. And the stallion licensing fall 2015 brought further highlights sired by Fürst Wilhelm. In Oldenburg the black Fürstenglanz showed a brilliant performance, and on the occasion of the Westphalian licensing the expressively moving, true to type Oldenburg liver chestnut stallion Festivo was licensed.

His offspring have clearly inherited the gleaming type of their sire and were awarded a premium in many breeding areas. In 2015, Fürst Wilhelm’s eldest offspring were five-years old and, according to their age, they were often victorious or placed with the best in tests for young riding horses and dressage horses. In FN’s predicted breeding value statistics for dressage Fürst Wilhelm is ranked among the best with 139 points.

Fürst Wilhelm won ribbons in tests for young riding horses as well as elementary (L) and medium (M) level tests for young dressage horses. In the meantime, he is trained up to advanced (S) level. He took his 30-day test in Neustadt/Dosse in 2009, finishing with clearly over average scores and completed the requirements for licensing by qualifying for the Bundeschampionat of German dressage horses.

Fürst Heinrich is his sire, followed by Sandro Hit, De Niro, Rubinstein I and in the “background”, from the breeding house Wernke, the unforgotton DLG-mare Love Story (by Freiherr), who made history through her daughter Love Story II (by Akzent II), Oldenburg Champion Mare 1991 – what a pedigree!
