The Hanoverian stallion licensing committee approved seventeen dressage bred colts at the 2016 Hanoverian spring licensing in Verden, Germany, on 29 April 2016, where 3-year old and older stallions were presented under saddle.
The spring saddle licensing for Hanoverian is mainly an approval of non-Hanoverian bred stallions. This year many of the participating stallions had already completed their stallion performance testing.
Thirty-four stallions were entered for the 2016 Hanoverian Spring Saddle licensing. Six dropped out before the licensing, including Schockemohle's three colts Feinrich (by Furst Heinrich x Sir Donnerhall), For Romance II (by Furst Romancier x Sir Donnerhall), and Furst Jazz (by Furst Romancier x Painted Black).
Six were not approved, including Londonbeat's Harmony (by Londontime x Don Marcello) and Flash Back (by Franziskus x Sir Donnerhall).
