Sebastian Rohde, Managing Director of Holsteiner Verband Hengsthaltungs GmbH, summed up the day with satisfaction: “The four-year-old stallions successfully completed their first competition appearance on Tuesday, learnt a great deal and drew attention to themselves with their potential. And the other stallions, such as Charaktervoll, Dubliner and Keaton, have also shown that they will be ones to watch this season.”
