Helgstrand's breeding stallion and former Bundeschampion Fynch Hatton has been gelded and sold.

Fynch Hatton is an 8-year old Oldenburg by Formel Eins out of Senorita Meyer (by Sir Donnerhall x Weltmeyer x Bolero). He is bred by Bernhard Ilting-Reuke. 

Saddle Licensing Champion

The bay stallion became the champion of the 2019 Oldenburg Saddle Licensing. 

The stallion was presented at the auction following the licensing by Spanish Enrique Brewah Grandos Jr from Spain, at the auction following the licensing, he sold for the top price of 260,000 euro to Helgstrand in Denmark. 

He did his 35-day stallion performance test in Denmark, scoring 8,40 points, and was approved at the 2020 Danish warmblood stallion licensing as well as for the Hanoverian Verband

Bundeschampion

He was first competed in 2019 by Eva Möller and after winning the Oldenburg Young Horse Championships in Rastede, he went to the 2019 Bundeschampionate but got eliminated in the first round due to blood in the mouth. Möller found out that he had a loose tooth cap which caused the bleeding. 

In 2020 Sina Aringer got the ride and she reclaimed the Oldenburg Young Horse Champion's title (this time in Vechta due to corona) and they won gold at the 2020 Bundeschampionate.

In 2021 it was Leonie Richter's turn to compete the horse. She rode him to a fourth place at the 2021 Oldenburg Young Horse Championships, but he did not return to Warendorf despite qualifying.

Rastede in July 2021 was the stallion's last show in Germany.  The horse moved to Denmark and undr Michael Fronne Christensen qualified for the 2021 Danish Young Horse Championships, which Andreas Helgstrand himself rode with Fynch. They were second behind Hesselhoj Down Town.

Gelded and Sold

Helgstrand has sold a gelded Fynch Hatton to his loyal client Yara Reichert as an FEI prospect for sport.

One week after Eurodressage contacted Reichert to confirm the sale, the rider posted on Instagram stories, "yes he is here, he came as a gelding, he's an awesome guy. We need to get to know each other, acquaint ourselves with one another - who are you, who am  -  before our journey starts. We'll give it a try."

As a breeding stallion he sired one licensed son so far (Fascination) and one state premium daughter in Germany. His foals were highly coveted in auctions in Europe.
