Association stallions wowed the crowds in Pfungstadt

13. September 2023

A number of association stallions were guests at Prinzenberg Stud in Pfungstadt, southern Hesse, where they were presented to a large audience. With Richard Vogel, Jens Klöppel and Edouard Hennau in the saddle, Deichkind by Don VHP Z, Daikon by Dominator Z, Dubliner by Dinken, United Way by Uriko and Crack by Cornet Obolensky gave a glimpse into their current training on the show jumping course.

Commentary was provided by Managing Director Sebastian Rohde, Breeding District Chairman Matthias Wittke and championship rider David Will. “That was really good fun and I’m thrilled with how the stallions performed today,” said David Will. Many breeders from the European licensing district took the opportunity to view the association’s stallions in person – in the stables, led by hand on the tarmac and on the show jumping course. Vigado by Vigo d’Arsouilles also travelled to Gestüt Prinzenberg and was seen on hard ground – unlike the other association stallions, however, he will not be making the journey home to Elmshorn, but will remain with Sophie Hinners for training for the time being.

Managing Director Sebastian Rohde was also highly satisfied with the event and warmly thanked the Prinzenberg Stud team, led by Richard Vogel, Sophie Hinners and David Will, for their successful collaboration. The vice-chairman, Dr Maximilian Slawinski, also extended special thanks to Matthias Wittke. For the chairman of the European Licensing District, it is always a matter close to his heart to present the association’s stallions outside Schleswig-Holstein as well, and thanks to the excellent contacts with Richard Vogel, Sophie Hinners and David Will, there have already been several moments of success to celebrate – not least with the Bundeschampion and winner of the Warendorf Grand Prix, Crack by Cornet Obolensky.
