Lord Fernando AB has been proclaimed champion of the 2011 Austrian Warmblood stallion licensing which was held begin February 2011 at the equestrian centre of Stadl Paura.
The stallions were divided into two categories: the first group included 3 to 4-year old young colts which still need to be performance tested. The second division was constituted by 4 to 5-year old stallions which either have been licensed with a different breed society, or which have been performance tested or which have stood out by achievements in the show ring.
Twenty-five colts were presented in the first division and twenty passed for the performance test while three of them received a special positive recommendation from the licensing committee. These three colts are:
