Madeleine Winter-Schulze's Grand Prix horse Freischütz has gone to a German junior rider, Feodora von Roeder.

Freischütz is a 12-year old Oldenburg gelding by Foundation out of Mona Martina (by Del Martino x Eskardo x De Niro) ). He is bred by Franz-Josef Wieghaus-Vorwerk.

Reserve Licensing Champion

The dark bay was presented by Andreas Helgstrand and Udo Wagner for approval at the 2015 Oldenburg Stallion Licensing in Vechta, where he was named reserve champion. At the auction following the licensing he sold for 320,000 euro and was announced to be sold to The Netherlands, but rumours in Vechta said that Helgstrand bought back the colt.

He did his stallion performance test in Denmark in the autumn of 2016 and scored 800 points.

Dressage Grand Ducale

Helgstrand sold he stallion to Dressage Grand Ducal in Luxembourg and the horse moved in training with Sascha Schulz.

Schulz debuted the stallion internationally in March 2018 at the CDI Ebreichsdorf in the 5-year old classes and also competed in Wiener Neustadt. In 2019 he rode the 6-year old tests at the CDI Leudelange.

In 2019 Grand Ducale downsized and sold a gelded Freischutz back to Helgstrand.

Madeleine Winter-Schulze

Helgstrand resold the horse to Madeleine Winter-Schulze for Isabell Werth to ride but assistant William Matthew was given the opportunity to produce and compete the horse.

He debuted the horse in August 2020 at M-level in Halver and took him to small tour level in February 2021. In 2022 they rode the Nurnberger Burgpokal qualifier in Langenfeld, while in 2023 they won the Louisdor Cup qualifier in Hagen. They finished 10th in the Louisdor Cup Finals in Frankfurt.

Their international show debut was in August 2023 at big tour level at the CDI Ermelo, where they posted 66.935% in the Grand Prix. Two months later they went to the CDI Troisdorf. In 2024 they did two CDI's: one in Hagen but got eliminated at the Aachen Dressage Days CDI. Their last show as a pair was in Neuss in a national Short Grand Prix. They scored 69.420%.

Feodora von Roeder

Freischütz has moved into the care of the Von Roeder family as a junior horse for Feodora.

The new partnership made its first public outingin Ansbach before heading to the Preis der Besten qualifier at Gestut Schafhof in Kronberg on 11 - 13 April 2025. In the junior team test they placed 17th with 64.910%.
