PRESS RELEASE
Münster: Thanks to a thought-through hygiene concept, the authorities approved the realization of the Westphalian main licensing. A highly interesting collection of 77 future sires will face the judgment of the licensing commission at the end of November. In order to equalize the event, the licensing will take place from Sunday, November 22, to Wednesday, November 25. There will be a division between dressage and jumping stallions. The stallion sales will take place in the form of a live auction with the possibility to bid online.
The health department and regional authorities have made a decision: The Westphalian main licensing can take place. Thanks to a good hygiene concept, the Westfälisches Pferdestammbuch e.V. has been granted permission to hold the licensing in 2020. The event is subject to strict measures and hygienic regulations. In order to equalize the overall situation on the premises, this year's main licensing will already start on Sunday noon, November 22. Furthermore, the event days have been divided into dressage and jumping. For the free jumping, as already announced in advance, the way the jumping stallions are presented was changed in coordination with the responsible committees. On Monday and Wednesday evenings the stallion sale will take place in the form of a live auction with the additional possibility to bid online. Only a very small number of visitors will have access to the area. The complete event will be broadcast live on ClipMyHorse.TV.
A total of 77 riding horse stallions will face the judgement of the licensing commission in Münster- Handorf from November 22 to 26. 49 dressage stallions and 28 stallions with a jumping pedigree are admitted to the Westphalian main licensing. The first licensing year of the Reserve Champion of the Westphalian Main Licensing in 2016 is eagerly awaited. The North Rhine-Westphalian State Stud Stallion Zoom is represented in the collection with eight offspring. The reigning Bundeschampion Secret is also well represented with three offspring in his first licensing year. The proven sires Benicio and Vitalis also have three direct offspring each. The blood of the trademark stallion Florestan I flows through his grandchildren and great-grandchildren both on the maternal side and on the paternal side in the veins of numerous licensing candidates. The famous Cornet Obolensky provides most descendents with three direct sons. Two further offspring are provided by his son Cornado I, one by his grandson Comme le père.
