Furst Heinrich

For a stallion that lived so briefly and died so young, Furst Heinrich continues to exert an extraordinary and disproportionately positive influence on the breeding of successful dressage horses. His brief competition and breeding performance is impeccable. Awarded a Premium Stallion at the NRW Licensing in 2000 at 2 years old, he went on to be Champion of his performance test in Münster-Handorf with a score of 8.82 and was Main Premium winner in Oldenburg.

Qualifying for the Bundeschampionship with a score of 8.5, he then competed successfully in his class and came 2nd in the Final. Finally, in 2003, as a five year old, he was crowned World Young Horse Dressage Champion with a score of 9.3.

In his short breeding career, he produced over 40 Licensed Stallions including many Premium Stallions, Champions and Reserve Champions. At the 2004 Oldenburger Licensing his first crop sons, Van the Man and First Forez, were awarded Champion and Reserve Champion respectively. n 2006 his son, Furstenball sold for the record price of 110,000EU at the Oldenburger Foal Auction. In 2007, the Licensed son, Froschkonig won the title of Oldenburger State Champion as a 3 year old.
