Best Future, Champion of 2021 German Sport Horse Stallion Licensing in Neustadt/Dosse

Breeding

German Sport Horse

A liver chestnut Best Future (by Benicio x Don Diamond) was named the champion of the 2021 German Sport Horse (DSP) stallion licensing in Neustadt/Dosse on Sunday 24 January 2021.

Originally the DSP Licensing was scheduled to take place in Munich, but only two days before the event the District Administration Office decided to cancel the event because of tightened corona measures in the area.

The DSP organizers were prompted to think fast and out of the box and a quick solution was found by relocating the event to the Graf von Lindenau-Halle arena at the Brandenburg State Stud in Neustadt/Dosse. In the Brandenburg area in north German the corona infection rate is higher than in Bavaria.

Forty eight dressage colts were entered, 42 showed up and 22 received a positive verdict from the licensing commitee and six were proclaimed premium.

A Benicio x Don Diamond x Fürst Heinrich was named the dressage champion of the licensing. He is bred and owned by Franz Galneder.

The reserve champion was a Ibiza x Sunny-Boy colt, bred by Irene Bayer and owned by Andreas Kaiser.

The third ranked premium stallion was a Diamond Hit x Johnson, bred by Thomas Schwarz and acquired by Antonius Schulze-Averdiek at the Riedlingen Foal auction two years ago.

The other premium stallions were a Zackerey x Don Juan de Hus offspring, bred by Boddecker-Sietz and presented by the company Steigbugel Zitzler; Christoph Kühnle's Vitalis x Diamond Hit colt; and Heinrich Ramsbrock's For Romance x Diamond Hit, who is bred by Brockmann-Drechsler and who is the full brother to the 2020 DSP Licensing Champion Finley.

A collection of licensed and non licensed colts is now for sale in an online auction that will conclude on 28 January.
