FUREIDA II
Queen of the mare band at Gerd Sosath's 100 hectare property, Fureida II, the dam of
Landwerder, surveying the changes that had taken place in the last ten years, from a family
farm with 200 cows and two horses to one of Oldenburg's premier horse operations with
260 horses and no cows. At the stud they are very proud of their pasture and the fact that the
mares and foals can enjoy the summer out in the sunshine, playing on the rich grass.
Fureida had a lot to do with the transformation since she gave birth first to Laertes, an
advanced jumping horse with many wins with his breeder Gerd Sosath in the saddle, then to
Landwerder, also a licensed stallion, exported to the United States where he goes by the
name of Silver Lining. But it was with the third son, that Fureida hit the jackpot – Landor S,
a six-year-old champion at the Bundeschampionate in 1997, and a Grand Prix star with Gerd
Sosath and after that, with his son, Hendrik.
Fureida is royally bred being by Godehard, the most successful son of that pinnacle of
Hanoverian jumping breeding, Gotthard and out of Fureida by the celebrated Furioso II (this
of course is exactly the breeding of Voltaire, except he was by Furioso out of a Gotthard
mare). After Landor S, her next foal was Lagoheidor, who won the Oldenburg stallion
licensing in 1994, and the following year topped his performance test. In 2000, Fureida gave
birth to her fourth licensed stallion son, Corioso by Corofino I.
Landwerder's sire was Landadel, a son of Landgraf out of a Farnese mare. Landadel carries
a double cross of the great Ladykiller xx and his early demise was a huge blow to the
Oldenburg book. He is to my knowledge the only stallion to have sired World Cup finalists in
both dressage and showjumping, certainly in the same year. In 2001 the Landadel son,
Leonardo da Vinci was ridden in the Dressage final by Gonnelien Rothenberger while Helena
Weinbeg rode Silwa Little Gun in the Showjumping final. Certainly Landor S bears a very
close resemblance to his celebrated sire.
