FIDERTANZ;
Licensed for Westphalia, Rhineland and Oldenburg
Rhineland, Bay, Born 2002, 16.1 hands
He was the top star of the 14th Westphalian stallion licensing in 2004. With
standing ovations he left the arena and became champion stallion. .His
exceptional basic gaits, brilliant jumping manner, balanced nature and perfect
conformation hasn’t given rise to any doubt about this victory. His sire
Fidermark won the stallion performance test, was National Young Horse Champion,
winner of the Optimum and Grand Prix tests. His dam sire Ravallo also won the
stallion performance test with a total index of 155 points (dressage 157.52
points – 1st range, jumping 127.7 points – 5th range). Frühlingstraum II
has been regarded as one of the pillars of the Westphalian breeding. With
Romadour II Fidertanz has been inbred three times to the famous Ramzes x.
Fidertanz’ dam, grand dam and grand-grand dam were state premium mares. Lots
of approved stallions and highly successful sports horses derive from this
damline. The Westfalian licensing champion of 2005, Fidertanz,
was proclaimed Hauptpraemium Sieger during the stallion parade. Out of a group
of 7 stallions, Fidertanz was selected as best stallion. Owned by Wahlers and
Böckmann, Fidertanz scored well in his performance test and the Oldenburg
Verband was especially impressed with his first crop of foals. Reason enough to
make him the Hauptpraemium winner. In 2004 he was the unequivocal winner of his
licensing in Westphalia , showing off his outstanding gaits, excellent jumping
ability, correct conformation and easy temperament. He completed his 30 day
tests at Neustadt-Dosse as the winner of the testing. As a three year old at the
2005 Bundeschampionate he finished second, scoring 9.5 for conformation, 9 for
trot, 9 for canter, 8 for walk , and 9.5 for rideability. His sire Fidermark was
reserve champion of the North Rhine-Westphalian approval in 1994, won the
Warendorf state stallion performance test in 1995 convincingly, and in 1996 he
won the German Federal Championship of four-year-olds. Under Marlies van Baalen
he was highly successful through Grand Prix dressage competitions. He not only
produced the 2004 NRW champion stallion Fidertanz, but also the Westphalian
champion mare Falbala. Very unfortunately, Fidermark died at much too young an
age in 2003. Fidertanz's damsire Ravallo was the 1990 winner of the stallion
performance test in Medingen, with a total index of 155 points (dressage 157.52
points – 1st , jumping 127.7 points – 5th ). These scores were among the
highest ever awarded at a performance test. He produced four approved sons in
several breeding areas and many state premium mares. His offspring are known for
versatility and talent at advanced levels. The grandam, state premium mare
Frühlingssonne, also produced highly successful showjumpers as well as an
approved stallion Disconot (by Diamantino). Fidertanz's maternal grand dam's
sire Frühlingstraum II, who was awarded the I b premium at the DLG Show, was
the 1970 approval champion in Westphalia, and spent many years stationed at
Wadersloh. Frühlingstraum II produced a number of highly decorated mares,
approved stallions and numerous performance horses for the North
Rhine-Westphalian breeding region. The third dam, state premium mare Romana,
produced the two approved stallions Frederiko (by Furioso II; private stallion
Rhineland) and Paradiso (by Pilot; private stallion Rhineland ). Her sire was
DLG winner Romadour II, a very versatile sire. Romadour was sire of the four
time Olympic dressage horse Rembrandt, as well as numerous top showjumpers.
Fidertanz derives from the damline of the mare Astfläche (by Assing I). This
line is of Hanoverian origin. Apart from numerous advanced level sports horses,
it also produced the approved stallions Faveur (Warendorf state stallion),
Graditz (Dillenburg state stallion), Graphitan (private stallion Hanover, NED),
Latent (private stallion Hanover), Orlando (Celle state stallion), Rastellani
(private stallion Hesse), Remoir (private stallion Westphalia) and Royal
Highness (private stallion Hanover) as well as the successful dressage horse Way
Ahead/Alix Denkhaus and the internationally successful showjumper Filou le
Rouge/Jörg Kreutzmann.
