Stallion stations Schafhof and Klatte have struck a collaboration titled "Roscharden Dressage" which entails a joint venture in stallion shows, staging a national dressage competition and a dressage foal auction.
Ann Kathrin Linsenhoff's Schafhof in Kronberg near Frankfurt, Germany, needs little introduction as the home base of German WEG team rider Matthias Rath. As of 2016 they launched a EU approved insemination centre at their dressage stable, standing stallions such as Totilas, Bretton Woods, Foundation, and Furst Romancier in partnership with Paul Schockemohle.
Zuchthof Klatte in Klein Roscharden in the north of Germany and has a strong focus on show jumping, even though they represent a few dressage stallions such as Farewell III and KWPN sires Dream Boy and Jerveaux.
"The idea for a cooperation arose at the beginning of the year when we were guests at the Schafhof stallion show," Henrik Klatte explained. Klatte and Matthias Rath were on one track when it comes to their philosophy in stallion keeping, training the stallions for top sport and generate interest from the breeders through sport results.
The collaboration at the moment entails a joint representation at the stallion shows planned at Schafhof (30 March 2019) and at Klatte's (13 April 2019); as well as the hosting a dressage competition with classes up to Grand Prix level at Klatte's on 23 - 25 August 2019. At this competition they will hold a "Future Dressage Sales," an auction for dressage foals.
