Next year the FEI/WBFHS World Breeding Dressage Championships for Young Horses will take place in Verden. Two exquisite pregnancies, auctioned off during the stallion licensing of dressage stallions in Verden, were harbingers of this.
The Vitalis/De Niro pregnancy (owner: Ruth Bramlage, Sögel) will result in a full sibbling of three-time Vice World Champion Vitalos FRH. A Canadian buyer seized this unique opportunity at 21,000 Euros. No less interesting was the pregancy to Von Und Zu of the Fürstenball daughter Fipsy (owner: Johannes Hesselink, Emlichheim). She is none other than the dam of the World Champion of seven-year-old dressage horses, Life Time FRH by Livaldon. The impressive chestnut stallion had won the final of the FRH Cup in the Niedersachsenhalle just a few hours earlier. A syndicate purchased the pregnancy for 12,000 Euros.
