Hanoverian, Westphalen,
Hessen Wurttemberg and Bavarian stud books
Being
the reserve champion of the stallion approval Feinbrand had a great
debut. In 1990 he finished 2nd in the Oldenburg championships and 2nd
best Oldenburg horse at the German Riding Horse championships in Verden.
With over 140 points, he became reserve champion at the stallion
performance test in Adelheidsdorf (best of the Oldenburg lot).In 1992
Feinbrand was Oldenburg champion of the 5 year old dressage horse class in
Rastede.
Feinbrand's
offspring have been quite impressive and displayed his ability to pass
down his incredible traits at the elite foal auction in Vechta. In 1991
Feiner Karl was sold for DM 30,000, a price that was equalled by
Florestan in 1992, and even surpassed by Feeling Well who brought DM
50,000. At the Verden foal auction in 1993, Frankie Boy was the top
priced foal at DM 32,000. He was represented by two of his lots at the
1993 Vechta Foal Sales, Fazial who brought DM 35,000 and Fiat Lux who
brought DM 21,000. To this day, ten of his sons have been approved,
including Frontier, and twelve of his mares have been awarded the state
premium status. His daughter, Fackese won both the 1996 "Show of
Champions" in Oldenburg, as well as the Oldenburg Elite Mare Show
in Rastede. Two top Vechta auction horses by Feinbrand, Fabulous Starman
and Finkenschlag were sold to Switzerland for DM 90,000 each. The
approved son Friday was conformation class winner at the Stallion
Championships in Euskirchen. In 1997 and 1998 Feinbrand was ranked among
the best nation-wide.
The
FN breeding value rating lists him as a many-facetted hereditary
transmitter. Feinbrand has got much Hanoverian blood but is licensed
Oldenburg. Nevertheless, the pretty stallion is accepted by the
Hanoverian, Westfalian and 7 others German breed societies, not taking
his acceptance to the KWPN registry into account. "He crosses best
with horses of blood and lighter warmblood mares. His high marks for
ridability, type and movement should make these crosses very desireable,"
Barilar believes. Born in 1986, Feinbrand was bred by Josef Wernke and
is by the highly famous Feiner Stern out of state premium mare Lagune B
(by Admiral x Lavendel x Agram). After being laureled as reserve
champion at his stallion licensing, Feinbrand continued a combined
career as competition and breeding stallion. After the inspection of his
first crop of foals and after having done the Adelheidsdorf stallion
performance test, he was proclaimed Oldenburg Champion Stallion. |
