Strict selection- Exquisite Stallion Collection at the 50th Trakehner Stallion Market
The Trakehner Hengstmarkt celebrates its 50th anniversary with the licensing and auction in the Holstenhallen, Neumünster. This is the most significant event in the breeding year.
“Yes, they have to be of perfect quality”, admits Lars Gehrmann, breeding manager and CEO of the Trakehner union. “We will inspect about 50 young stallions for the approval.” A rigorous selection for future sires of the new foal generation is mandatory for the selection committee. Sportiness, quality of movement and the future prospects of inheritance are three of several criteria. “We will see some descendants of successful stallions in the international sport. In addition, some offspring of the same fathers is in the collection” said Gehrmann,”colts by Imperio, Instenburg, Le Rouge and Gribaldis last year can be seen.”
