DSP sales manager Norbert Freistedt can once again approach customers with an excellent collection on May 11, 2024 as the third edition of the DSP Eventers auction will take place as part of the CCI4* in Marbach, Germany.
A highlight of this event will be the auction of one of the last available straws frozen semen from Heraldik xx. The Thoroughbred of the century from the Birkhof Stud has influenced the German and worldwide sport horse breeding with his offspring like no other. Among his many successful children, double Olympic champion Butts Abraxxas, European champion FBW Halunke and the top international athletes Butts Leon, Butts Avedon and TSF Karascada stand out.

Furthermore, Heraldik xx is also the dam sire of the world’s most successful eventing horse of the last decades, La Biostetique Sam FBW – Michael Jung. His father, the Marbach state stud stallion Stan the Man xx, comes into play at catalog number 1: the licensed 3-year-old stallion Champ by Canoso comes from Sue by Stan the Man xx, who also has another Olympic horse and two times German national champion, Sam the Man / Bodo Battenberg. Champ also comes from an extraordinary dam line: his third dam Galatee, who was internationally successful up to 1.50m with Dirk Ahlmann and Sören von Rönne, bred Toulouse by Toulon, who was Bundeschampion in Warendorf with Hendrik von Eckermann and later had many successes up to 1.60m. The direct maternal line ends in the sixth generation with the mare Kateja III v. Vollkorn xx – Manolete xx, a full sister of the stallion Volturno, who won silver with Otto Ammermann at the Olympic Games in Montreal and the World Championships in Lexington. The 3-year-old champ made his first appearance at the Marbach free jumping competition, where he won the 3-year-old division with an excellent final score of 9.25.

Also with famous relatives is the Ramiro B daughter Senorita, whose dam, who was herself a CCI3* eventer, is a full sister to no less than four 5* horses, including Nereo, who won Badminton and Pau with Andrew Nicholson and was fourth individually at the Olympic Games in London. World champion genetics flow in the veins of the 4-year-old, highly talented black Arocan. He is a son of the Akhal-Teke stallion Amadei out of the full sister of fischerRocana, who was vice world champion in Caen with Michael Jung and the most successful eventing horse in the world three times in a row.
A total of nine four-year-old young horses are on offer in the 2024 Eventers auction, including the half-brother of last year’s top price Kronprinzessin, a son of Casskeni II and offspring of Amadei (2), Chubakko, Hickstead White, Quitoll, Vingino and Vivant. Among the 4-year-olds there is Forance v. For Romance I is also an extremely rideable and comfortable dressage offering. Some of the 5-year-old youngsters are already successful in tournaments and come from Casino Berlin, Colorit, Icare D’Olymp and Kamasutra II. The collection is rounded off by three well-supported six-year-old eventing horses, which are recommended for immediate use in eventing shows.
