Sire description
Stedinger (Oldenburger)(IMP) - Stedinger was the undisputed Young Stallion Champion of the Oldenburger licensing in 2002 and runner-up at the main premium award in 2004. After victories in many dressage tests at medium (M) level, he was trained by Dieter Weichert for the next level in dressage. In spite of a heavy breeding load, Stedinger did an outstanding job at his 70-days test in Neustadt/Dosse. He finished the performance test with a total index of 131 (dressage 130.72 / jumping 121.92). In 2005 he qualified for the “Bundeschampionat” of dressage horses in Warendorf. Stedinger is a charming, beautiful and very correct stallion. He is one of the best all around athletes that you can imagine, with gorgeous movement and super form over fences. He should be an excellent addition to the “D” and “R” lines to bring in the blood of Sandro and Landadel, with their jumper talents adding to the athleticism of the modern dressage horse. Depth of breeding, outstanding conformation & movement equal to the very best, anywhere in the world!
