From November 23 to 25, 2026, the international horse breeding community will gather at the Oldenburg Horse Center in Vechta. For the first time, the Oldenburg Stallion Days will take place from Monday through Wednesday. The focus will be on the licensing decisions, the awarding of the champion stallions, the stallion auction, and the festive Stallion Gala.
Two particularly promising young stallions embody the quality of this stallion crop: a dressage prospect from the famous maternal line of Weihegold OLD and a show jumping stallion with internationally proven performance genetics.
Catalog Number 75: From the direct maternal line of Olympic champion Weihegold OLD
Catalog number 75, born May 15, 2024, by Dynamic Dream out of El./StPrSt. Weihegold OLD by Don Schufro – Sandro Hit – Figaro, bred and trained by Christine Arns-Krogmann of Lohne, brings an exceptional pedigree to Vechta. Her sire, Dynamic Dream—himself a celebrated champion stallion at his licensing—has already made an impressive mark as a sire. Several of his offspring have won medals at state and national championships as well as at the World Championships. His dam, Weihegold OLD, is a true legend. In 2008, she was crowned the acclaimed champion mare at the Elite Mare Show in Rastede. Riding under Isabell Werth, she went on to make equestrian history: In 2016, the exceptional pair won Olympic team gold in Rio de Janeiro and triumphed three times in a row at the World Cup Finals in the following years. Weihegold OLD also sets standards as a broodmare. Among her licensed and Grand Prix-winning sons are Total Hope OLD by El.H. Totilas, who competes successfully under Isabel Freese (NOR); Special Gold PCH by San Amour I with Katharina Hemmer; and Sir Weihbach by Sir Donnerhall I under Tristan Tucker (AUS). In addition, she produced the Grand Prix-placed Vitally PCH by El.H. Vitalis, the S*-winning Aweih H by Apache and Weihronce by For Romance I, as well as the S*-placed State Premium mare Weihcera by Zack. Weihegold OLD also made a striking impression on the mare show stage: With Weihcera, Weihcine by Fürst Heinrich, Weihe Glück by El.H. Totilas, and Fürstin Weihe by Fürst Romancier, she presented no fewer than four Brillantring daughters for the Elite Mare Show in Rastede. Her dam, Weihevoll, is the dam of, among others, the Grand Prix-winning full brothers Total Recall by El.H. Totilas, ridden by Jemma Heran (AUS), and Tripple X, ridden by Hope Cooper (USA), as well as the licensed stallion Best of Weihe by Bonjour. Numerous licensed stallions have emerged from this famous Weissena mare line. These include, among others, Lux Dressage Statesman OLD, Inselfürst, Canaster I and II, Triumphator, Top of Class, Damon Gold, For Gold, Extra Gold, and Dodo Weihgand. If the stallion receives a positive licensing evaluation, he will be offered for sale at our auction.
Catalog Number 34: International show jumping genetics with a competition-proven maternal line
The show jumping lot also features a highly promising young stallion: Catalog Number 34, born March 25, 2024, by Heartbreaker out of Tansania by Toulon—Cassini I—Contender, bred by Bernd Kröger, Dinklage, and owned by Matthias Schlamminger GmbH, Regensburg.
His sire, Heartbreaker, is one of the most influential sires in modern show jumping breeding. Among his best-known offspring are Toulon and Hardrock Z, both of whom have enjoyed success in five-star show jumping. Riden by Dutch rider Peter Geerink, Heartbreaker placed fourth in the Aachen Grand Prix in 1999. The dam, Tansania, also impresses with her competition-proven offspring. She produced the full siblings Striewes Candice, who is successful in 1.45 m show jumping, and Comme Si by El.H. Comme il faut, who has already placed at the S* level. The broader maternal line also promises the highest level of competitiveness. The great-granddam, N-Comtess, produced three offspring who proved themselves in advanced show jumping classes: the licensed Contino by Colmander, who has been successful up to 1.55 m under Johannes Ehning; Diamo CM by Diamant de Semilly (1.50 m); and Casario by Casall (1.40 m). In addition, the dam line includes other international competition horses: My Lady by Chambertin achieved success in 1.60 m show jumping, while Novartis by Lucky Light was successful up to 1.50 m. The stallion is for sale at the stallion auction.
