Anticipation is building: The collection for the first Oldenburg Elite Foals Competition Auction, held as part of the Steinhagen Riding Days, is now available online.
On Saturday, June 20, 2026, breeders, competitive riders, and investors can look forward to an exclusive selection of seven highly promising young talents.
Two Dressage Foals
The collection includes five show jumping foals and two dressage foals, all of which boast top-class pedigrees and promising prospects for both competition and breeding. Among the show jumping foals are offspring of internationally successful top sires such as Ermitage Kalone, Ogano Sitte, and Vingino.
The dressage foals are in no way inferior to their show jumping counterparts: With the Oldenburg champion stallion Verbier and Lord Charmeur, who attracted attention with an outstanding 50-day test, modern performance genetics and the best prospects for the future are guaranteed here as well.
With catalog number 4, the auction presents the elegant dressage prospect Very Nice, born April 16, 2026, by Verbier out of Fidertraum by Fidertanz-De Niro-Noble Roi xx, bred by Bernd Böckmann of Lastrup. This modern daughter of the Oldenburg champion stallion Verbier comes from an exceptionally successful dressage line. Her granddam Gritt is a full sister to the Intermediaire I-winning horses Dragon Dancer and Dorigo, as well as to Griskana, who produced, among others, the S**-winning Nymphenburg First Choice and the Prix St. Georges-winning Finero, both by Fidertanz. This line also produced the licensed Grand Prix winner Fahrenheit as well as other internationally successful sport horses.
Steinhagen Competition
For many years, the Steinhagen Riding Days have stood for dedicated equestrian sports, a vibrant club culture, and the special bond between athletes, breeders, and horse enthusiasts. For the first time, this traditional event will now be complemented by an Oldenburg elite foal auction, offering an attractive meeting place for horse enthusiasts and prospective buyers. The relaxed tournament atmosphere, personal conversations, and close proximity to the foals create a special setting for this premiere.
