An Exceptional Sire That Wrote History by Julie Wentscher
He was one who got things moving, who proved his fighting spirit even under the most adverse conditions and passed this dominant trait to his progeny: When it
comes to an incredibly homogenous type and a willingness to perform, Landadel revolutionized breeding. You recognized his off-spring right away – and he
advanced to become a trademark for modern sporting talent. In spite of a turbulent and trying biography marked by heavy blows of fate, this Holstein stallion
created a dynasty of off-spring that have taken countless first places and medals. His progeny have won more than 3.7 million Euro so far – and not just in show
jumping either: Landadel also produced outstanding dressage horses. This exceptional sire can boast with numbers that make you dizzy: 66 licensed sons including
three Champion Stallions in a row, 50 State Premium mares, more than 92 horses successful at advanced level just in Germany – this makes him one of the most
significant sires in the world.
"Landadel has influenced breeding with three components that are very rare in this combination: he makes brilliant types
that have outstanding jumping ability and are also strong movers" is the premium rating given to Landadel by Oldenburg’s
Breeding Director, Dr. Wolfgang Schulte-Schleppinghoff.
But Landadel isn’t just the sum of convincing facts about his hereditary powers, he also stirred up personal feelings,
made chances possible and empowered the people around him to individual success stories. "Landadel helped us make
our breakthrough – without him we wouldn’t be where we are today" is the way Antonius Böckmann pays tribute to this
stallion that stood at his Oldenburg station for nine years. "Lady Weingard was the horse of my life – I had the most success
with her" is the praise Markus Beerbaum has for this Landadel daughter with whom he won team gold at the European Championships in Mannheim. But also Gerd
Sosath’s station which has meanwhile grown to 19 stallions was initiated solely by the Landadel son, Landor S.
Landadel was born March 15, 1982 in Schleswig-Holstein, that northern part of Germany between two seas, not too far from the
Holstein marketing center in Elmshorn, in a village called Klein Offenseth. Ilse Hell, the sister-in-law of the unforgotten stallion
owner, Maas J. Hell, bred Landadel out of her mare, Novella. "Landadel was noble as a foal already but didn’t really stand out
although his movements were actually quite special in those days" remembers Ilse Hell. His true quality was only revealed later as a
young stallion – where else with a pedigree like that – over the fences. The personality that this stallion would one day become was
already evident in Landadel’s dam: "Novella was an exceptional mare with plenty of self-confidence and an outstanding character.
She also had excellent movements" says her breeder. Novella, by Farnese-Ladykiller xx, produced eight foals. Among these were
three licensed sons, Aurel, Landadel and Acadius. Her Merano daughter, Valetta, is the dam of Willi Melliger’s world class
jumper, Calvaro. Novella’s grandson, Luxius by Lux Z, stands at the Böckmann station.
The owners of Holstein horses are very proud of the lines their horses come from. Landadel comes from line 1859 which has produced 14 licensed stallions so far.
On the sire’s side of his pedigree you find a name that is synonymous the world over for jumper breeding of the very best quality. A stallion responsible for more
than 130 licensed sons and numerous internationally successful sport horses whose off-spring won 4,332,946 Euro just in 2004: Landgraf I. A world class sire who
is honored by a life-size bronze statue in Elmshorn and whose greatest personal achievements are found in horses such as Cian O’Connors’ Olympic gold horse in
Athens, Waterford Crystal, and Jos Lansink’s World Cup winner, Libero. Farnese stands on the dam’s side of his pedigree, a cornerstone stallion in Holstein
breeding known for high performance horses such as Franke Sloothaak’s Olympic horse, Farmer, with whom he won the 1984 team bronze medal. Caliber,
substance, enormous jumping ability and intelligence characterize Farnese in just a few words. Landgraf’s sire, Ladykiller xx, is found twice in this pedigree – a
highly potent inbreeding component.

Landadel left home for the first time when he was two and a half years old. That was when Maas J. Hell purchased the young stallion from his sister-in-law. The pre-
selection for the Holstein Verband approval had just taken place and the verdict of the selection committee was „Very chic type but not large enough. Take him
back home for awhile and present him again later“. The Holstein Verband didn’t get to see the stallion again any time soon – Hell presented the bay stallion without
a mark in Oldenburg and they licensed him right off the bat: „He received applause for his movements even during the inspection on hard ground“, remembers Ilse
Hell. Oldenburg’s Breeding Director, Dr. Wolfgang Schulze-Schleppinghoff also remembers the first time he saw the young stallion: „We all applauded – Landadel
was already a commanding personality and his appealing type and radiance made him very attractive. In retrospect, it was a blessing for Oldenburg that Holstein
sent him back home.“
There was another turbulent story in the stallion’s history that ended in a dispute that had to be settled in court. Landadel
covered mares naturally at Hajo Willms’ station in Esenshamer Oberdeich for two years in 1985 and 1986 when a
dispute arose concerning ownership. Hajo Willms claimed that the stallion belonged to him and Maas J. Hell claimed the
same. The question was decided in court in favor of Maas J. Hell who got his stallion back. Meanwhile, Landadel had
won his stallion performance test in Medingen: with a score of 136.26, breeders took good notice. His double talent
was outstanding – with a score of 137.72 in jumping and 131.43 in dressage he was on second place in both disciplines.
He even received a 9.0 on the course – all the best prerequisites for a career in sport. But Landadel’s victory at his performance test was his first and last venture in
sport. Soon afterward he had to be stabled at the Veterinary Clinic in Hochmoor for nine months, four of which he could not even stand, because of a severe colic
and subsequent laminitis. „One of his testicles had to be removed during the operation and then laminitis developed in both hooves. He must have been in
unbelievable pain but his will to survive was so strong that he made it“ remembers Böckmann. He believed in this stallion that he had ridden once himself during the
performance test. „Landadel could have become a dressage horse – he was that rideable and strong moving“. At that time, Landadel’s half-brother on his dam’s
side, Aurel by Ahorn, had been standing at the Böckmann station. When Aurel had to be put down because of colic while he was at his performance test,
Böckmann started to investigate the whereabouts of Landadel. „Some rumors had it that he was now a gelding and others that he was no longer alive. But when I
called Hell, he told me that the stallion was still in the clinic and I could lease him if I wanted to.“ And that’s exactly what Böckmann did because Landadel had not
only his outstanding performance test results but also two very promising crops as references meanwhile.
Landadel was highly convincing – not just because of his movements… Foto: Eylers
The gamble paid off. The same year the stallion left the clinic he covered nearly 100 mares naturally. Landadel advanced to
the star position at the station in Lastrup. „Once we switched to artificial insemination, he had around 300 mares in a good
year“, says Böckmann. And that even though he was never again shown under a rider and had to spend several weeks in
the clinic after each breeding season to regain his strength.
But his off-spring said it all.
One of the first horses to be successful in sport was the licensed stallion, Le Cou Cou, who came from Landadel’s first crop. Bred out of
a Goldstern dam, this jumper won the Nation’s Cup in Prague in 1994 under Lars Nieberg and prizes totalling 66,500 Euro. With
Fighting Alpha, Nieberg has a Landadel grandson under saddle. This KWPN stallion by Landjonker-Farn has collected international
ribbons in series. He finished as the winner in 3-star competitions in Moorsela/BEL, Bologna/ITA, and Aachen, Nörten-Hardenburg,
Kiel, Wiesbaden, Bremen, Dortmund and Münster in Germany. "He’s the kind of horse everyone dreams about – from rideability to
willingness to perform" Nieberg praises this stallion who had won a grand total of 379,412 Euro by the end of 2004.
Fighting Alpha’s sire, Landjonker, was one of Landadel’s first sons to be licensed. The off-spring of this brown stallion who was born in
1987 out of a Tin Rocco dam, had won 488,590 Euro by the end of 2004. The stallion was stationed in the Netherlands for five years
where he was known as Frühling before he returned to Germany in 1995. Landfriese I is another of Landadel’s first sons to pass on their great sire’s bloodlines.
This stallion, bred out of a Manstein- Vollkorn xx dam, has often been described as exceptional. His life was unfortunately very short: the two-time
Bundeschampionat finalist had to be put down at the age of seven. He left behind many off-spring that were successful at advanced level and had won 257,000
Euro by the end of 2004 as well as six licensed sons including Landsieger I, the Champion Stallion of the Oldenburg approval in 1993 who set off on an exemplary
career. Landsieger I graduated from winning tests for young riding horses and jumpers as well as aptitude tests to successfully participating at the
Bundeschampionat twice before he proceeded to reach advanced level and Grand Prix. Georgenhof’s Lausejunge by Landfriese I-Pilot also emphasizes the great
loss to breeders in connection with Landfriese’s untimely death. In 2000 he was a Bundeschampionat finalist and by 2004 he and his rider, Anna-Maria Jakobs
took sixth place in the German Championships for show jumpers in the ladies class. The liver chestnut stallion, Landgold, and his enormous jumping ability also
honor his sire. He received the highest score of 10 in jumping at his performance test in 1999. At the Bundeschampionat in 2000 he received scores of 9.2 and 9.3,
making him Vice Champion in the class for five year olds.
In 2003 Landgold was successful under Franke Sloothaak in advanced level competitions in Leipzig, Borken and Dortmund.
In 1989, Landadel’s off-spring were already so popular that the six foals at the auction in Vechta brought an average price of 20,000 DM. One of these foals, a
colt with the promising name of Le Champion who was sold to the US for 37,000 DM, had just been crowned Vice Champion at the first German Foal
Championships. In the US he later became the West Coast Junior Champion Stallion. By 1990 his first daughters were collecting the best ribbons at the German
Broodmare Show: Lavina and Venedig ranked second and fourth respectively.
In 1993 when the first Landadel off-spring were seven years old and allowed to compete at advanced level, a look at the list of prize money won that year showed
what an exceptional stallion he had become: 63,693 DM had been won by his off-spring. Lady Weingard is another great horse that was in the starting block for a
grand career. Marcus Beerbaum describes the most successful horse he has had in his career so far as a „very self-assured, fighting spirit“. With her he won team
gold at the European Championships in 1997 and the World Championships in 1998. He rode this mare that was purchased by Ingrid Bergmann as a filly for
10,500 DM at the auction in Vechta for four years before Jörne Sprehe took over in Lady Weingard’s saddle. In 2002, just about every two weeks, this pair took
off and racked up one first place after the other in advanced level competitions. Their greatest achievement so far was when they took the team European
Champion title for Young Riders in Le Touquet, France and silver individually. In 2004 they participated in the European Championships in Portugal and won the
German Championships at home. With all of these achievements, Lady Weingard is certainly one of Landadel’s most successful offspring: By the end of 2003 she
had won a total of 427,729 Euro.
Her full brother, Landkaiser, took a very different route. Born in 1993, he became the Champion Stallion at the Oldenburg approval in
1995 and successfully completed tests for show jumpers before he switched disciplines and has meanwhile won dressage tests at St.
George level. With his light bay coat, his few unobtrusive marks and typical noble looks, there’s no denying who Landkaiser’s sire is.
"You recognize Landadel’s off-spring right away – most of them are bay with very few marks, no chestnuts, no blacks“, says Tönne
Böckmann. Laudatio also falls into this category. Along with Landkaiser he is one of the four Champion Stallions that honor their sire.
The coveted winner’s sash went over his head at the Oldenburg approval in 1996. A year later he finished his performance test in
Medingen on first place with a score of 129.96. In 1998, all they wrote in the PSI catalogue about him was: Approval winner,
performance test winner – what more could you possibly want? Who ever it was that wanted exactly that put 650,000 DM on the table
for him. Four years later Laudatio represented Switzerland at the World Championships in Jerez under the French rider, Francoise
Cantamessa. Another full brother, Landclassic, who was approved in Verden in 1995, was a winner of advanced level jumping competitions. A son, Lagrano,
qualified for the 2003 Bundeschampionat in the class for five year old show jumpers and was sold to France at the PSI auction for 96,000 Euro. Another son,
Lassandro, out of a Sandro dam, was the most expensive horse at the Elite Auction in Verden in the fall of 2004, selling for 180,000 Euro to the US.
Laudatio was Landadel’s last Champion Stallion. And he concluded a successful trilogy that no other stallion in Oldenburg has ever matched: From 1994 to 1996,
Landadel presented the highest ranking stallion at the approval: Lagoheidor, Landkaiser and Laudatio. All three sons were decorated with the Oldenburg Verband’
s winner’s sash.
Landadel was seven years old when he presented his first Champion Stallion in 1989, Lord Kemm, who was stationed at the State Stud in Mecklenburg. The run
on Landadel continuously increased which also became quite evident at the auctions. In 1987 a colt from his first crop cost 11,000 DM. Four years later this colt
brought 100,000 DM and just a few months later at the PSI auction he was sold for 350,000 DM. That’s what you call fantastic growth potential! This gelding out
of a Coriolan dam held what he promised and proved again that Landadel could also make special class dressage horses. He qualified for the World Cup Tour
under Sven Rothenberger, took the Reserve position at the Olympic Games in Atlanta when he was nine and then continued his career under Rothenberger’s wife,
Gonnelien.
Leonardo da Vinci is another one in an armada of Landadel off-spring that brought high prices at the auctions. 60,000 DM was paid for Lauvette by Landadel-
Almé Star in 1995, 100,000 DM for the Landadel-Argentinus daughter Ultima in 1996 – and with the regularity of a clockwork, Landadel sent his young athletes
to Vechta. In 1995, a Landadel-Grannus foal brought 61,000 DM. His off-spring were also among the price highlights at the PSI auctions: in 1996 an Italian buyer
paid 251,000 DM for Lady, a mare with her sire’s gorgeous type. A year later a dressage horse named Le Touquet cost 500,000 DM. In 1998 Landadel even
had a trio of top quality horses: along with Laudatio, a Westphalian stallion named Le Carneval out of a Grande dam was purchased for 425,000 DM and another
stallion called Lichtblick out of a Ramino dam sold for 263,000 DM. In 1999, Lagumas Light followed with 370,000 DM and in 2000 a Landadel grandson named
Landay by Landfriese I-Aldatus brought 140,000 DM. Many of these have demonstrated their willingness to perform in competitions.
A grey called Silva Little Gun is another one of these. When he was ridden by Helena Weinberg, competitors often only saw this pair from behind. As early as
1998 under Hauke Luther he won a Grand Prix in Malmö, Sweden and really gathered momentum the following year: London, the World Cup in Berlin, a Grand
Prix in Stuttgart – they won them all. In 2001 this Oldenburg known for fast rounds won the World Cup in Moscow, a feat he repeated again two years later in
2003 which helped to increase his life time earnings to 376,293 Euro.
One of Landadel’s off-spring even made it to the top when prizes were awarded at the Hamburg Derby which has a reputation as the most feared course in the
world. That was in 2001 with an awesome mare named Landdame FRH ridden by Franke Sloothaak. The mare stood out as a seven year old already because of
her enormous jumping talent and ambition: she won in Rotterdam and Donaueschingen and a year later in Neumünster, Rome, Hickstead and Kiel as well as Grand
Prix in Leipzig and Zurich and a 3-star competition in London in 2002. Sloothaak purchased this Hanoverian mare at the fall auction in Verden in 1996 for 100,000
DM. Just three years later she was the most successful Landadel off-spring in the FN’s Breeding Year Book with 149,765 Euro in prizes.
Her full brother, Laurion, a licensed stallion, was no less successful: He was a finalist at the Bundeschampionat twice under Sören Pedersen, participated in the
European Championships in 2001, became Vice Danish Champion in 2002 and demonstrated his willingness to perform in numerous Nation’s Cups and Grand
Prix.
It is exactly this great attitude that is Landadel’s trademark and the trait gets passed from one generation to the next. Need an example? Ludwig von Bayern with a
Bavarian brand and the spectator’s darling at the Oldenburg Hengsttage 2001, is a Landadel grandson through his sire, Landor S: "He’s the best youngster I ever
had", says Gerd Sosath who stands the stallion at his station and shows him in sport. The highest scores in his 30 day test with a 10 for rideability and 9.5 in free-
jumping as well as first places in tests for jumpers appropriate for his age in novice and elementary level and qualification for the Bundeschampionat in 2004 all
confirm Gerd Sosath’s expectations.
His sire, Landor S, has already more than confirmed all of the hopes ever placed in him. More than 20 licensed sons are found among the off-spring of this
Oldenburg stallion born 1991 as well as numerous successful sport horses and high priced auction horses. Landor S demonstrated his awesome talent in
competition. In 1994, at his stallion performance test, he showed where his destiny lay: with 133.66 points he placed second in jumping. A year later he was the
best placed four year old at the Oldenburg Stallion Championships, State Champion of five year old jumpers in 1996 in Rastede and placed in the
Bundeschampionat finals in Warendorf.
With feline suppleness in the turns, a leg technique that is lightening fast and reactions that are just as fast, Landor S certainly deserved to win the Bundeschampionat
the following year. This Landadel-Godehard son was successful all the way up to Grand Prix. Meanwhile the stallion has been retired from sport and earns his keep
solely as a sire – a job at which he is also most successful. In 2003 nine of his off-spring reached the site of his own triumph: the Burandtwiese in Warendorf. And
he was the only sire here to have two off-spring among the finalists in the class for six year old jumpers. One of these was Lagato, who sold at the PSI auction in
2003 for 200,000 Euro, a stallion out of a Caletto I dam who reached the jump-off with a score of 9.3 but was still beaten by others, including a half-brother on his
sire’s side named Llandovery who took sixth place. Llandovery caused a firework of bids at the 2002 PSI auction that only ended when the priced reached
600,000 Euro. Not quite as expensive but still nearly a record was the price paid at the French auction in Fences in 2002 for the Landor S son, L’Arc de
Triomphe: 460,000 Euro. Another extraordinary athlete is Little Love out of a Classiker-Godehard dam who became the 1998 Oldenburg State Champion of five
year old show jumpers.
Landor S
Landor S’ off-spring also drew a lot of attention at the approvals. At the Springpferdezuchtverband Oldenburg-International in particular that was founded in 2002,
the stallion has been a dominating force: two of the three champion stallions this Verband has selected so far were by Landor S: Lovis Corinth, the first champion
stallion for the new Verband in 2002 and Lauterbach in 2004. Lovis Corinth, an awesomely modern stallion bred out of a Holstein mare by Corofino I, was highly
coveted at the auction in Vechta where he sold for 90,000 DM. As Reserve Champion of the 2001 Oldenburg approval and scores of 9.5 in freejumping and 9.0
on the course at his 70 day test, this has stallion demonstrated exceptional talent for performance. Also laced with Holstein bloodlines from his Contender dam,
Lauterbach is another extra class jumper talent who sold at the approval for 50,000 Euro. But not just Landor S’ sons have inherited these qualities. In 1999 his
daughter, Lady Madonna, won the Oldenburg Elite Broodmare Show in Rastede and there were two more Brillantring mares before Lady Heida won the class for
mares with emphasis on jumping at the German Broodmare Show in Neustadt/Dosse three years later. Her full sister, Lady Heida II, received a score of 10 in free
jumping at her performance test.
Landor S is not his dam’s only licensed son though. The dam, Fureida, was bred to Landadel several times and the results were three licensed sons: Along with
Landor S there was Landwerder, a successful Grand Prix stallion in the US, and Lagoheidor. This strong moving bay stallion won his performance test and after
successfully competing in show jumping for awhile, he switched to the dressage ring and advanced to Grand Prix in the Netherlands. Other most striking off-spring
are Lonevan, a horse with a Baden-Württemberg brand who qualified for the 2004 Nürnberg Burgpokal with Ingrid Klimke and the licensed stallion, Lord
Oldenburg, who sold for 200,000 DM in Vechta. The fourth leaf of this clover is a grey gelding called Laertes who competes at advanced level.
And speaking of advanced level: The highest stage in the career of a sport horse – accompanied by the pride of the breeder – has been reached by many of
Landadel’s progeny. Dobel’s Luigi was one of them. Born 1991, this Oldenburg won numerous first and other places with Otto Becker up to 3-star level. "The
mares were often more interesting. Some of the heavy Farnese traits that came from Landadel’s dam’s side often appeared in the males. The mares were usually
more elegant" remembers Tönne Böckmann. One of the most successful Landadel "ladies" for a long time was Argelith Luna Luna. "A really bitchy mare but
unbelievably cautious on the course and a real fighter" is the way her owner and rider, Eva Bitter, characterizes her. She competeted in one show after the other
with this mare out of a Vollkorn xx dam and was on the winning team in the Nation’s Cups in Prag in 1998 and Budapest in 1999. "Now we are hoping for a foal
by Stakkato", says Eva Bitter hopefully.
Still in the middle of her career is Fein Cera.
This brown mare was in best form at the 2002 World Championships in Jerez where it was dreadfully hot and advanced to win the title.
With the traditional change of riders, Fein Cera enabled all riders to clear rounds although the Swedish rider, Helena Lundbäck, was burdened with a penalty for
time. The best horse at the World Championships, she carried her rider, Peter Wylde, to the bronze medal. In 2003, this mare bred by Harm Thormählen won
57,882 Euro, also winning the Grand Prix in Düsseldorf and Nörten-Hardenberg after having won 54,279 Euro the year before. In 2004 the pair crowned their
career by taking home the team silver medal.
The Oldenburg mare, C’Dur, was another of Landadel’s highlights: she won the class for five year and older mares at the 1998 German Broodmare Show in
Warendorf. Bred by Paul Wendeln out of a Zeus dam, she produced a Donnerhall son named D’Dur who became the second Reserve Champion at the 2000
approval. C’Dur’s full brother Laphroaig, the spitting image of his sire, was successful in tests for jumpers and is now active in Austria.
Landadel’s dam’s side is also a guarantee for quality. Many licensed stallions and successful sport horses have resulted from such a constellation. One example:
Roh Magic, a North Rhine-Westphalian State Stud stallion by the Grand Prix winner, Rohdiamant, premium stallion in the final ring at the approval in Münster-
Handorf in 2001. Another horse bred according to this recipe was the licensed Premium stallion, Rabano, who was purchased as a foal for 50,000 DM. His son,
Rosizky, bred out of a Holstein dam, became one of the premium stallions in Münster-Handorf in 2002. Escalero-Ex Libris combined with Landadel was worth
170,000 DM to buyers in Vechta and the combination with the star Hanoverian stallion, Weltmeyer, produced the Bavarian State Stud sire, Weltenadel as well as
the Hanoverian performance test winner, Westernhagen. When bred to the World Champion in dressage, Sandro Hit, a Landadel daughter produced the 2002
Oldenburg Champion Stallion, Stedinger, who not only successfully competed in tests for riding horses but also produced striking type foals. With the awesome
jumper Caretello as his sire, the Bavarian stallion Carlando has been successful in international show jumping under Heinrich- Hermann Engemann. The
Bundeschampionat finalist, Forrester, who is by the 2x Olympic team gold winner, For Pleasure, proved his willingness to perform under Sören Pedersen at
international level.
August der Starke
With Argentinus, another Landadel daughter called Elinda produced one of the price record breaking horses in Vechta, August der Starke: this licensed stallion
successfully ridden up to Grand Prix by the Austrian rider, Victoria Max-Theurer, was purchased in 1999 for 667,000 DM.
The same applies to Landadel’s sons: 66 sons were licensed in Germany alone and many of these proved their qualities in sports. For example the Hanoverian
stallion, Lambourghini Diabolo out of a Calypso II-Graphit dam: after winning tests for jumpers, this stallion born 1995 successfully advanced to the top.
The noble Lancado, who received the dream score of 10 at his stallion performance test not only has that typical Landadel look but Contender-Wedekind in his
pedigree. He proved the so highly esteemed willingness to perform that his pedigree promised in advanced level jumping.
Landcapitol is another stallion with a very fine pedigree. As the name already indicates, this Holstein stallion with ribbons in advanced level show jumping was bred
out of a fill sister of the trademark stallion, Capitol. Born in 1994, this stallion has already produced five licensed sons. A stablemate of this bay stallion stationed
with Böckmann called Landrover, who is a successful medium level jumper, has meanwhile been leased to Poland. His dam line has also proved to be particularly
strong: when bred to Cord a la Bryére, the dam Aleska Z produced Cordalmé who became an internationally successful show jumper and the sire of Olympic
Game participants as well as HGF Can Fly who became the 2002 Bundeschampion in the class for five year olds. Landphönix has also reached the stratosphere of
international show jumping. Inbred on his dam’s side over the Westphalian trademark stallion, Pilot, the stallion was a finalist at the 1999 Bundeschampionat, won a
jumping competition just for stallions in Sögel and has meanwhile made a reputation internationally. His licensed son, Landpirol, who took sixth place at the
Bundeschampionat in the class for five year old jumpers and has been on the German Olympic team since 2004 under Marco Kutscher, is another great
advertisement for his sire.
The list of successful Landadel sons could be continued indefinitely.
For example, Lamoureux II, Champion Stallion at the 1996 North Rhine-Westphalian approval and stationed at the State Stud in Warendorf. Or Lincoln L who
was successfully ridden by Markus Merschformann in Frankfurt, London and Paris where he finished with his name on the winners’ list. Landadel was no longer
alive when many of his off-spring achieved their greatest success. The stallion had to be put down due to a severe colic in 1995 when he was just 13 years old.
„We brought him directly to the clinic but it was too late and we didn’t want to put him through the agony of an operation anymore“, remembers Böckmann. The
era of this very special sire had reached its end. „The premature death of this exceptional sire was a heavy blow for German breeds because he produced
outstanding sons and well above average performance horses“, is the way Horst Ense, the chairman of the committee on breeding matters at the German FN,
expresses it. The fact remains that the influence Landadel on modern sport horse breeding is shared by very few stallions. The designation „trademark stallion“
barely fits this Holstein stallion; that’s more an understatement.
In Bronze verewigt und unvergessen:

He was one who got things moving, who proved his fighting spirit even under the most adverse conditions and passed this dominant trait to his progeny: When it
comes to an incredibly homogenous type and a willingness to perform, Landadel revolutionized breeding. You recognized his off-spring right away – and he
advanced to become a trademark for modern sporting talent. In spite of a turbulent and trying biography marked by heavy blows of fate, this Holstein stallion
created a dynasty of off-spring that have taken countless first places and medals. His progeny have won more than 3.7 million Euro so far – and not just in show
jumping either: Landadel also produced outstanding dressage horses. This exceptional sire can boast with numbers that make you dizzy: 66 licensed sons including
three Champion Stallions in a row, 50 State Premium mares, more than 92 horses successful at advanced level just in Germany – this makes him one of the most
significant sires in the world.
"Landadel has influenced breeding with three components that are very rare in this combination: he makes brilliant types
that have outstanding jumping ability and are also strong movers" is the premium rating given to Landadel by Oldenburg’s
Breeding Director, Dr. Wolfgang Schulte-Schleppinghoff.
But Landadel isn’t just the sum of convincing facts about his hereditary powers, he also stirred up personal feelings,
made chances possible and empowered the people around him to individual success stories. "Landadel helped us make
our breakthrough – without him we wouldn’t be where we are today" is the way Antonius Böckmann pays tribute to this
stallion that stood at his Oldenburg station for nine years. "Lady Weingard was the horse of my life – I had the most success
with her" is the praise Markus Beerbaum has for this Landadel daughter with whom he won team gold at the European Championships in Mannheim. But also Gerd
Sosath’s station which has meanwhile grown to 19 stallions was initiated solely by the Landadel son, Landor S.
Landadel was born March 15, 1982 in Schleswig-Holstein, that northern part of Germany between two seas, not too far from the
Holstein marketing center in Elmshorn, in a village called Klein Offenseth. Ilse Hell, the sister-in-law of the unforgotten stallion
owner, Maas J. Hell, bred Landadel out of her mare, Novella. "Landadel was noble as a foal already but didn’t really stand out
although his movements were actually quite special in those days" remembers Ilse Hell. His true quality was only revealed later as a
young stallion – where else with a pedigree like that – over the fences. The personality that this stallion would one day become was
already evident in Landadel’s dam: "Novella was an exceptional mare with plenty of self-confidence and an outstanding character.
She also had excellent movements" says her breeder. Novella, by Farnese-Ladykiller xx, produced eight foals. Among these were
three licensed sons, Aurel, Landadel and Acadius. Her Merano daughter, Valetta, is the dam of Willi Melliger’s world class
jumper, Calvaro. Novella’s grandson, Luxius by Lux Z, stands at the Böckmann station.
The owners of Holstein horses are very proud of the lines their horses come from. Landadel comes from line 1859 which has produced 14 licensed stallions so far.
On the sire’s side of his pedigree you find a name that is synonymous the world over for jumper breeding of the very best quality. A stallion responsible for more
than 130 licensed sons and numerous internationally successful sport horses whose off-spring won 4,332,946 Euro just in 2004: Landgraf I. A world class sire who
is honored by a life-size bronze statue in Elmshorn and whose greatest personal achievements are found in horses such as Cian O’Connors’ Olympic gold horse in
Athens, Waterford Crystal, and Jos Lansink’s World Cup winner, Libero. Farnese stands on the dam’s side of his pedigree, a cornerstone stallion in Holstein
breeding known for high performance horses such as Franke Sloothaak’s Olympic horse, Farmer, with whom he won the 1984 team bronze medal. Caliber,
substance, enormous jumping ability and intelligence characterize Farnese in just a few words. Landgraf’s sire, Ladykiller xx, is found twice in this pedigree – a
highly potent inbreeding component.

Landadel left home for the first time when he was two and a half years old. That was when Maas J. Hell purchased the young stallion from his sister-in-law. The pre-
selection for the Holstein Verband approval had just taken place and the verdict of the selection committee was „Very chic type but not large enough. Take him
back home for awhile and present him again later“. The Holstein Verband didn’t get to see the stallion again any time soon – Hell presented the bay stallion without
a mark in Oldenburg and they licensed him right off the bat: „He received applause for his movements even during the inspection on hard ground“, remembers Ilse
Hell. Oldenburg’s Breeding Director, Dr. Wolfgang Schulze-Schleppinghoff also remembers the first time he saw the young stallion: „We all applauded – Landadel
was already a commanding personality and his appealing type and radiance made him very attractive. In retrospect, it was a blessing for Oldenburg that Holstein
sent him back home.“
There was another turbulent story in the stallion’s history that ended in a dispute that had to be settled in court. Landadel
covered mares naturally at Hajo Willms’ station in Esenshamer Oberdeich for two years in 1985 and 1986 when a
dispute arose concerning ownership. Hajo Willms claimed that the stallion belonged to him and Maas J. Hell claimed the
same. The question was decided in court in favor of Maas J. Hell who got his stallion back. Meanwhile, Landadel had
won his stallion performance test in Medingen: with a score of 136.26, breeders took good notice. His double talent
was outstanding – with a score of 137.72 in jumping and 131.43 in dressage he was on second place in both disciplines.
He even received a 9.0 on the course – all the best prerequisites for a career in sport. But Landadel’s victory at his performance test was his first and last venture in
sport. Soon afterward he had to be stabled at the Veterinary Clinic in Hochmoor for nine months, four of which he could not even stand, because of a severe colic
and subsequent laminitis. „One of his testicles had to be removed during the operation and then laminitis developed in both hooves. He must have been in
unbelievable pain but his will to survive was so strong that he made it“ remembers Böckmann. He believed in this stallion that he had ridden once himself during the
performance test. „Landadel could have become a dressage horse – he was that rideable and strong moving“. At that time, Landadel’s half-brother on his dam’s
side, Aurel by Ahorn, had been standing at the Böckmann station. When Aurel had to be put down because of colic while he was at his performance test,
Böckmann started to investigate the whereabouts of Landadel. „Some rumors had it that he was now a gelding and others that he was no longer alive. But when I
called Hell, he told me that the stallion was still in the clinic and I could lease him if I wanted to.“ And that’s exactly what Böckmann did because Landadel had not
only his outstanding performance test results but also two very promising crops as references meanwhile.
Landadel was highly convincing – not just because of his movements… Foto: Eylers
The gamble paid off. The same year the stallion left the clinic he covered nearly 100 mares naturally. Landadel advanced to
the star position at the station in Lastrup. „Once we switched to artificial insemination, he had around 300 mares in a good
year“, says Böckmann. And that even though he was never again shown under a rider and had to spend several weeks in
the clinic after each breeding season to regain his strength.
But his off-spring said it all.
One of the first horses to be successful in sport was the licensed stallion, Le Cou Cou, who came from Landadel’s first crop. Bred out of
a Goldstern dam, this jumper won the Nation’s Cup in Prague in 1994 under Lars Nieberg and prizes totalling 66,500 Euro. With
Fighting Alpha, Nieberg has a Landadel grandson under saddle. This KWPN stallion by Landjonker-Farn has collected international
ribbons in series. He finished as the winner in 3-star competitions in Moorsela/BEL, Bologna/ITA, and Aachen, Nörten-Hardenburg,
Kiel, Wiesbaden, Bremen, Dortmund and Münster in Germany. "He’s the kind of horse everyone dreams about – from rideability to
willingness to perform" Nieberg praises this stallion who had won a grand total of 379,412 Euro by the end of 2004.
Fighting Alpha’s sire, Landjonker, was one of Landadel’s first sons to be licensed. The off-spring of this brown stallion who was born in
1987 out of a Tin Rocco dam, had won 488,590 Euro by the end of 2004. The stallion was stationed in the Netherlands for five years
where he was known as Frühling before he returned to Germany in 1995. Landfriese I is another of Landadel’s first sons to pass on their great sire’s bloodlines.
This stallion, bred out of a Manstein- Vollkorn xx dam, has often been described as exceptional. His life was unfortunately very short: the two-time
Bundeschampionat finalist had to be put down at the age of seven. He left behind many off-spring that were successful at advanced level and had won 257,000
Euro by the end of 2004 as well as six licensed sons including Landsieger I, the Champion Stallion of the Oldenburg approval in 1993 who set off on an exemplary
career. Landsieger I graduated from winning tests for young riding horses and jumpers as well as aptitude tests to successfully participating at the
Bundeschampionat twice before he proceeded to reach advanced level and Grand Prix. Georgenhof’s Lausejunge by Landfriese I-Pilot also emphasizes the great
loss to breeders in connection with Landfriese’s untimely death. In 2000 he was a Bundeschampionat finalist and by 2004 he and his rider, Anna-Maria Jakobs
took sixth place in the German Championships for show jumpers in the ladies class. The liver chestnut stallion, Landgold, and his enormous jumping ability also
honor his sire. He received the highest score of 10 in jumping at his performance test in 1999. At the Bundeschampionat in 2000 he received scores of 9.2 and 9.3,
making him Vice Champion in the class for five year olds.
In 2003 Landgold was successful under Franke Sloothaak in advanced level competitions in Leipzig, Borken and Dortmund.
In 1989, Landadel’s off-spring were already so popular that the six foals at the auction in Vechta brought an average price of 20,000 DM. One of these foals, a
colt with the promising name of Le Champion who was sold to the US for 37,000 DM, had just been crowned Vice Champion at the first German Foal
Championships. In the US he later became the West Coast Junior Champion Stallion. By 1990 his first daughters were collecting the best ribbons at the German
Broodmare Show: Lavina and Venedig ranked second and fourth respectively.
In 1993 when the first Landadel off-spring were seven years old and allowed to compete at advanced level, a look at the list of prize money won that year showed
what an exceptional stallion he had become: 63,693 DM had been won by his off-spring. Lady Weingard is another great horse that was in the starting block for a
grand career. Marcus Beerbaum describes the most successful horse he has had in his career so far as a „very self-assured, fighting spirit“. With her he won team
gold at the European Championships in 1997 and the World Championships in 1998. He rode this mare that was purchased by Ingrid Bergmann as a filly for
10,500 DM at the auction in Vechta for four years before Jörne Sprehe took over in Lady Weingard’s saddle. In 2002, just about every two weeks, this pair took
off and racked up one first place after the other in advanced level competitions. Their greatest achievement so far was when they took the team European
Champion title for Young Riders in Le Touquet, France and silver individually. In 2004 they participated in the European Championships in Portugal and won the
German Championships at home. With all of these achievements, Lady Weingard is certainly one of Landadel’s most successful offspring: By the end of 2003 she
had won a total of 427,729 Euro.
Her full brother, Landkaiser, took a very different route. Born in 1993, he became the Champion Stallion at the Oldenburg approval in
1995 and successfully completed tests for show jumpers before he switched disciplines and has meanwhile won dressage tests at St.
George level. With his light bay coat, his few unobtrusive marks and typical noble looks, there’s no denying who Landkaiser’s sire is.
"You recognize Landadel’s off-spring right away – most of them are bay with very few marks, no chestnuts, no blacks“, says Tönne
Böckmann. Laudatio also falls into this category. Along with Landkaiser he is one of the four Champion Stallions that honor their sire.
The coveted winner’s sash went over his head at the Oldenburg approval in 1996. A year later he finished his performance test in
Medingen on first place with a score of 129.96. In 1998, all they wrote in the PSI catalogue about him was: Approval winner,
performance test winner – what more could you possibly want? Who ever it was that wanted exactly that put 650,000 DM on the table
for him. Four years later Laudatio represented Switzerland at the World Championships in Jerez under the French rider, Francoise
Cantamessa. Another full brother, Landclassic, who was approved in Verden in 1995, was a winner of advanced level jumping competitions. A son, Lagrano,
qualified for the 2003 Bundeschampionat in the class for five year old show jumpers and was sold to France at the PSI auction for 96,000 Euro. Another son,
Lassandro, out of a Sandro dam, was the most expensive horse at the Elite Auction in Verden in the fall of 2004, selling for 180,000 Euro to the US.
Laudatio was Landadel’s last Champion Stallion. And he concluded a successful trilogy that no other stallion in Oldenburg has ever matched: From 1994 to 1996,
Landadel presented the highest ranking stallion at the approval: Lagoheidor, Landkaiser and Laudatio. All three sons were decorated with the Oldenburg Verband’
s winner’s sash.
Landadel was seven years old when he presented his first Champion Stallion in 1989, Lord Kemm, who was stationed at the State Stud in Mecklenburg. The run
on Landadel continuously increased which also became quite evident at the auctions. In 1987 a colt from his first crop cost 11,000 DM. Four years later this colt
brought 100,000 DM and just a few months later at the PSI auction he was sold for 350,000 DM. That’s what you call fantastic growth potential! This gelding out
of a Coriolan dam held what he promised and proved again that Landadel could also make special class dressage horses. He qualified for the World Cup Tour
under Sven Rothenberger, took the Reserve position at the Olympic Games in Atlanta when he was nine and then continued his career under Rothenberger’s wife,
Gonnelien.
Leonardo da Vinci is another one in an armada of Landadel off-spring that brought high prices at the auctions. 60,000 DM was paid for Lauvette by Landadel-
Almé Star in 1995, 100,000 DM for the Landadel-Argentinus daughter Ultima in 1996 – and with the regularity of a clockwork, Landadel sent his young athletes
to Vechta. In 1995, a Landadel-Grannus foal brought 61,000 DM. His off-spring were also among the price highlights at the PSI auctions: in 1996 an Italian buyer
paid 251,000 DM for Lady, a mare with her sire’s gorgeous type. A year later a dressage horse named Le Touquet cost 500,000 DM. In 1998 Landadel even
had a trio of top quality horses: along with Laudatio, a Westphalian stallion named Le Carneval out of a Grande dam was purchased for 425,000 DM and another
stallion called Lichtblick out of a Ramino dam sold for 263,000 DM. In 1999, Lagumas Light followed with 370,000 DM and in 2000 a Landadel grandson named
Landay by Landfriese I-Aldatus brought 140,000 DM. Many of these have demonstrated their willingness to perform in competitions.
A grey called Silva Little Gun is another one of these. When he was ridden by Helena Weinberg, competitors often only saw this pair from behind. As early as
1998 under Hauke Luther he won a Grand Prix in Malmö, Sweden and really gathered momentum the following year: London, the World Cup in Berlin, a Grand
Prix in Stuttgart – they won them all. In 2001 this Oldenburg known for fast rounds won the World Cup in Moscow, a feat he repeated again two years later in
2003 which helped to increase his life time earnings to 376,293 Euro.
One of Landadel’s off-spring even made it to the top when prizes were awarded at the Hamburg Derby which has a reputation as the most feared course in the
world. That was in 2001 with an awesome mare named Landdame FRH ridden by Franke Sloothaak. The mare stood out as a seven year old already because of
her enormous jumping talent and ambition: she won in Rotterdam and Donaueschingen and a year later in Neumünster, Rome, Hickstead and Kiel as well as Grand
Prix in Leipzig and Zurich and a 3-star competition in London in 2002. Sloothaak purchased this Hanoverian mare at the fall auction in Verden in 1996 for 100,000
DM. Just three years later she was the most successful Landadel off-spring in the FN’s Breeding Year Book with 149,765 Euro in prizes.
Her full brother, Laurion, a licensed stallion, was no less successful: He was a finalist at the Bundeschampionat twice under Sören Pedersen, participated in the
European Championships in 2001, became Vice Danish Champion in 2002 and demonstrated his willingness to perform in numerous Nation’s Cups and Grand
Prix.
It is exactly this great attitude that is Landadel’s trademark and the trait gets passed from one generation to the next. Need an example? Ludwig von Bayern with a
Bavarian brand and the spectator’s darling at the Oldenburg Hengsttage 2001, is a Landadel grandson through his sire, Landor S: "He’s the best youngster I ever
had", says Gerd Sosath who stands the stallion at his station and shows him in sport. The highest scores in his 30 day test with a 10 for rideability and 9.5 in free-
jumping as well as first places in tests for jumpers appropriate for his age in novice and elementary level and qualification for the Bundeschampionat in 2004 all
confirm Gerd Sosath’s expectations.
His sire, Landor S, has already more than confirmed all of the hopes ever placed in him. More than 20 licensed sons are found among the off-spring of this
Oldenburg stallion born 1991 as well as numerous successful sport horses and high priced auction horses. Landor S demonstrated his awesome talent in
competition. In 1994, at his stallion performance test, he showed where his destiny lay: with 133.66 points he placed second in jumping. A year later he was the
best placed four year old at the Oldenburg Stallion Championships, State Champion of five year old jumpers in 1996 in Rastede and placed in the
Bundeschampionat finals in Warendorf.
With feline suppleness in the turns, a leg technique that is lightening fast and reactions that are just as fast, Landor S certainly deserved to win the Bundeschampionat
the following year. This Landadel-Godehard son was successful all the way up to Grand Prix. Meanwhile the stallion has been retired from sport and earns his keep
solely as a sire – a job at which he is also most successful. In 2003 nine of his off-spring reached the site of his own triumph: the Burandtwiese in Warendorf. And
he was the only sire here to have two off-spring among the finalists in the class for six year old jumpers. One of these was Lagato, who sold at the PSI auction in
2003 for 200,000 Euro, a stallion out of a Caletto I dam who reached the jump-off with a score of 9.3 but was still beaten by others, including a half-brother on his
sire’s side named Llandovery who took sixth place. Llandovery caused a firework of bids at the 2002 PSI auction that only ended when the priced reached
600,000 Euro. Not quite as expensive but still nearly a record was the price paid at the French auction in Fences in 2002 for the Landor S son, L’Arc de
Triomphe: 460,000 Euro. Another extraordinary athlete is Little Love out of a Classiker-Godehard dam who became the 1998 Oldenburg State Champion of five
year old show jumpers.
Landor S
Landor S’ off-spring also drew a lot of attention at the approvals. At the Springpferdezuchtverband Oldenburg-International in particular that was founded in 2002,
the stallion has been a dominating force: two of the three champion stallions this Verband has selected so far were by Landor S: Lovis Corinth, the first champion
stallion for the new Verband in 2002 and Lauterbach in 2004. Lovis Corinth, an awesomely modern stallion bred out of a Holstein mare by Corofino I, was highly
coveted at the auction in Vechta where he sold for 90,000 DM. As Reserve Champion of the 2001 Oldenburg approval and scores of 9.5 in freejumping and 9.0
on the course at his 70 day test, this has stallion demonstrated exceptional talent for performance. Also laced with Holstein bloodlines from his Contender dam,
Lauterbach is another extra class jumper talent who sold at the approval for 50,000 Euro. But not just Landor S’ sons have inherited these qualities. In 1999 his
daughter, Lady Madonna, won the Oldenburg Elite Broodmare Show in Rastede and there were two more Brillantring mares before Lady Heida won the class for
mares with emphasis on jumping at the German Broodmare Show in Neustadt/Dosse three years later. Her full sister, Lady Heida II, received a score of 10 in free
jumping at her performance test.
Landor S is not his dam’s only licensed son though. The dam, Fureida, was bred to Landadel several times and the results were three licensed sons: Along with
Landor S there was Landwerder, a successful Grand Prix stallion in the US, and Lagoheidor. This strong moving bay stallion won his performance test and after
successfully competing in show jumping for awhile, he switched to the dressage ring and advanced to Grand Prix in the Netherlands. Other most striking off-spring
are Lonevan, a horse with a Baden-Württemberg brand who qualified for the 2004 Nürnberg Burgpokal with Ingrid Klimke and the licensed stallion, Lord
Oldenburg, who sold for 200,000 DM in Vechta. The fourth leaf of this clover is a grey gelding called Laertes who competes at advanced level.
And speaking of advanced level: The highest stage in the career of a sport horse – accompanied by the pride of the breeder – has been reached by many of
Landadel’s progeny. Dobel’s Luigi was one of them. Born 1991, this Oldenburg won numerous first and other places with Otto Becker up to 3-star level. "The
mares were often more interesting. Some of the heavy Farnese traits that came from Landadel’s dam’s side often appeared in the males. The mares were usually
more elegant" remembers Tönne Böckmann. One of the most successful Landadel "ladies" for a long time was Argelith Luna Luna. "A really bitchy mare but
unbelievably cautious on the course and a real fighter" is the way her owner and rider, Eva Bitter, characterizes her. She competeted in one show after the other
with this mare out of a Vollkorn xx dam and was on the winning team in the Nation’s Cups in Prag in 1998 and Budapest in 1999. "Now we are hoping for a foal
by Stakkato", says Eva Bitter hopefully.
Still in the middle of her career is Fein Cera.
This brown mare was in best form at the 2002 World Championships in Jerez where it was dreadfully hot and advanced to win the title.
With the traditional change of riders, Fein Cera enabled all riders to clear rounds although the Swedish rider, Helena Lundbäck, was burdened with a penalty for
time. The best horse at the World Championships, she carried her rider, Peter Wylde, to the bronze medal. In 2003, this mare bred by Harm Thormählen won
57,882 Euro, also winning the Grand Prix in Düsseldorf and Nörten-Hardenberg after having won 54,279 Euro the year before. In 2004 the pair crowned their
career by taking home the team silver medal.
The Oldenburg mare, C’Dur, was another of Landadel’s highlights: she won the class for five year and older mares at the 1998 German Broodmare Show in
Warendorf. Bred by Paul Wendeln out of a Zeus dam, she produced a Donnerhall son named D’Dur who became the second Reserve Champion at the 2000
approval. C’Dur’s full brother Laphroaig, the spitting image of his sire, was successful in tests for jumpers and is now active in Austria.
Landadel’s dam’s side is also a guarantee for quality. Many licensed stallions and successful sport horses have resulted from such a constellation. One example:
Roh Magic, a North Rhine-Westphalian State Stud stallion by the Grand Prix winner, Rohdiamant, premium stallion in the final ring at the approval in Münster-
Handorf in 2001. Another horse bred according to this recipe was the licensed Premium stallion, Rabano, who was purchased as a foal for 50,000 DM. His son,
Rosizky, bred out of a Holstein dam, became one of the premium stallions in Münster-Handorf in 2002. Escalero-Ex Libris combined with Landadel was worth
170,000 DM to buyers in Vechta and the combination with the star Hanoverian stallion, Weltmeyer, produced the Bavarian State Stud sire, Weltenadel as well as
the Hanoverian performance test winner, Westernhagen. When bred to the World Champion in dressage, Sandro Hit, a Landadel daughter produced the 2002
Oldenburg Champion Stallion, Stedinger, who not only successfully competed in tests for riding horses but also produced striking type foals. With the awesome
jumper Caretello as his sire, the Bavarian stallion Carlando has been successful in international show jumping under Heinrich- Hermann Engemann. The
Bundeschampionat finalist, Forrester, who is by the 2x Olympic team gold winner, For Pleasure, proved his willingness to perform under Sören Pedersen at
international level.
August der Starke
With Argentinus, another Landadel daughter called Elinda produced one of the price record breaking horses in Vechta, August der Starke: this licensed stallion
successfully ridden up to Grand Prix by the Austrian rider, Victoria Max-Theurer, was purchased in 1999 for 667,000 DM.
The same applies to Landadel’s sons: 66 sons were licensed in Germany alone and many of these proved their qualities in sports. For example the Hanoverian
stallion, Lambourghini Diabolo out of a Calypso II-Graphit dam: after winning tests for jumpers, this stallion born 1995 successfully advanced to the top.
The noble Lancado, who received the dream score of 10 at his stallion performance test not only has that typical Landadel look but Contender-Wedekind in his
pedigree. He proved the so highly esteemed willingness to perform that his pedigree promised in advanced level jumping.
Landcapitol is another stallion with a very fine pedigree. As the name already indicates, this Holstein stallion with ribbons in advanced level show jumping was bred
out of a fill sister of the trademark stallion, Capitol. Born in 1994, this stallion has already produced five licensed sons. A stablemate of this bay stallion stationed
with Böckmann called Landrover, who is a successful medium level jumper, has meanwhile been leased to Poland. His dam line has also proved to be particularly
strong: when bred to Cord a la Bryére, the dam Aleska Z produced Cordalmé who became an internationally successful show jumper and the sire of Olympic
Game participants as well as HGF Can Fly who became the 2002 Bundeschampion in the class for five year olds. Landphönix has also reached the stratosphere of
international show jumping. Inbred on his dam’s side over the Westphalian trademark stallion, Pilot, the stallion was a finalist at the 1999 Bundeschampionat, won a
jumping competition just for stallions in Sögel and has meanwhile made a reputation internationally. His licensed son, Landpirol, who took sixth place at the
Bundeschampionat in the class for five year old jumpers and has been on the German Olympic team since 2004 under Marco Kutscher, is another great
advertisement for his sire.
The list of successful Landadel sons could be continued indefinitely.
For example, Lamoureux II, Champion Stallion at the 1996 North Rhine-Westphalian approval and stationed at the State Stud in Warendorf. Or Lincoln L who
was successfully ridden by Markus Merschformann in Frankfurt, London and Paris where he finished with his name on the winners’ list. Landadel was no longer
alive when many of his off-spring achieved their greatest success. The stallion had to be put down due to a severe colic in 1995 when he was just 13 years old.
„We brought him directly to the clinic but it was too late and we didn’t want to put him through the agony of an operation anymore“, remembers Böckmann. The
era of this very special sire had reached its end. „The premature death of this exceptional sire was a heavy blow for German breeds because he produced
outstanding sons and well above average performance horses“, is the way Horst Ense, the chairman of the committee on breeding matters at the German FN,
expresses it. The fact remains that the influence Landadel on modern sport horse breeding is shared by very few stallions. The designation „trademark stallion“
barely fits this Holstein stallion; that’s more an understatement.

LANDADEL
Landadel (Generation 2) by
Landgraf I ex Novella)
Landgraf I ex Novella)
Hollsteiner stallion, 16.3 hh, born 1982, died 1996. Breeder: Ilse Hell.
Right from the start, Landadel was something special. He was champion of his 100 day test at Medingen in 1985.
Landadel is one of those rarest of creatures - a stallion who is siring top dressage as well as jumping progeny. Indeed at the 2001 World Cups, Landadel
was unique in producing representatives in both the dressage and jumping finals, with the exquisite Leondardo da Vinci in the dressage with Gonnelien
Rothenberger, and, in the jumping, Helena Weinberg's Little Gun. In the 1999/2000 WBFSH standings, Landadel had 14 representatives on the jumping list
and three on the dressage. Landadel is regarded as the most important son of Landgraf - and carries a double cross of the great Ladykiller, and bears out the
theory that Landgraf worked best with mares with a high proportion of Thoroughbred blood. Landlord 4 and Lausbub 148 were out of mares by Tin Rocco
xx. Lanciano is out of a mare by Marlon xx and Lucky Luke is out of a mare by Fra Diavalo (by Frivol xx). Landadel's grand-dam is 3/4 Thoroughbred
(Ladykiller xx / Gauner xx).His dams sire, Farnese was famed for this extravagent trot, and was used as a demonstration stallion by the Holsteiner Verband -
besides the movement, the line was noted for its great substance and good conformation. Farnese's son Farmer was on the 1984 German Olympic
showjumping team with Franke Sloothaak.
Landadel's stallion sons include Le Cou Cou, Landfriese I, Landstern and Landjonker. Landadel is the sire of four Oldenburg Stallion licensing champions:
Lord Kemm, Lagoheidor, Landkaiser and Laudaatio. Perhaps his most famous performer has been the mare, Lady Weingard, who was ridden in her career
by Markus Beerbaum.
In Australia, Landadel is represented by the mare, Luna Luna who has been extremely successful at world cup qualifier level, with Vicki Roycroft and was
sold back to Europe after representing Australia at the WEG in Jerez.

Landjonker - A top stallion in
personality, performance and by
inheritance standards. Landjonker
began his breeding career in Holland
under the name of Frühling where he
won or was highly placed in medium to
advanced level jumping. So far he has
produced four licensed sons for
Germany--Karneval, Lassango, Life is
Life and Fighting Alpha. In 1994,
Fighting Alpha was the unsurpassed
winner of the stallion performance test
in Redefin and is now internationally
successful with Olympic champion,
Lars Nieberg. Landjonker left many
championship horses and highly prized

LANDCAPITOL: Corallo, Cadillac, Levin and Celvin have their origins in
this line. He absolved his stallion performance test in performance class II
and already clearly placed his imprint on his first crops of foals, which are of
the most modern type and have marvellous faces. The heredity becomes
self-evident upon closer scrutiny of the pedigree, where in the fourth
generation, the thoroughbred Ladykiller xx appears twice, the
thoroughbreds Cottage Son xx and Manometer xx are present once and the
Anglo-Arabian Ramzes by Ritterspon xx is represented twice. He was
awarded the state premium on the occasion of the 1998 stallion approval
and in 1999, had numerous wins up to intermediate class in show jumper
tests. In the year 2000, he presented his first approved son. Then in 2001,
he was placed in the first advanced class show jumping competitions and
presented a much admired young stallion at the Oldenburg approval. Type,
nobility, character, jumping ability and potential for movement constantly
remind the onlooker of his great sire Landadel as well as Landcapitol's
relatives of international rank. Breeder : Harm Thormählen, Kollmar

was 7th out of 50. 118.10 points overall with a 9.5 for stadium jumping 8's
for willingness to work, character, temperament and the walk. Overall
balanced on his jumping and ridability scores. Landkönig has produced,
from his first foal crop, a licensed Hanoverian stallion son and the highest

LANDROVER2: This young stallion reflects what can only be described as a unique family dynasty.
Royal Z I by Ramiro, the oldest son of the Almé daughter Aleska, produced a number of top
show jumpers in Denmark, who were successful up to World Cup show jumping, among them ,
Montanus Ricardo. His full-brother Royal Z II was a premium stallion in Oldenburg and also
presented a number of international show jumpers. Aleska's third approved son is no less than
Cordalmé Z, himself an international horse, and already the sire of 2 Olympic horses (Sydney
2000). Rolanda by the Ramiro son Rolando, the 4th foal of Aleska was a diamond ring mare in
Oldenburg as a 3-year old and had many wins in international competitions under Gilbert
Böckmann. Aleska produced 2 colts by the French stallion Livresco, of whom the older one was
approved in Denmark. The most recent daughter was a diamond ring mare in Rastede in 2001. She
derives from the French horse Quattro and is therefore inbred to the great Almé, which lets hopes
rise high for breeding and sport in the future. This phalanx of grandiose international siblings includes
Landrover, who in terms of his origin is probably the best Aleska son. Landadel is the first stallion in
Germany whose progeny won in excess of DM 1 million (Euro 511,292) within the time period of 1
year. Landrover came third at the stallion performance test in Redefin, won a number of show
jumper tests and qualified for the Federal Championship. Licensed for the Rhineland, Westphalia,
Thuringia, Saxony, Oldenburg (restricted individual covering permission), Show Jumper Horse
Breeding Association Oldenburg International applied for. Insemination fee : Euro 450.-
