Raven

Blessed with high nobility attributes, the large-framed Raven embodies a high degree of sportiness and an extremely high-quality, supple basic gait arrangement, which is why he was awarded the title of non-saleable premium stallion at the 2019 Westphalia licensing in Münster-Handorf. His always exemplary work attitude and constant willingness to perform should be emphasised.

His sire Revolution was a premium stallion and prize record holder in 2015, stallion performance test winner in 2016, World Champion of five-year-old dressage horses in 2018 and Vice World Champion of six-year-old dressage horses in Ermelo (NED) in 2019. The versatile and hereditary dam’s sire Christ, himself successful in the dressage ring up to advanced (S) level, has presented sensational sons at the German licensing, including several premium stallions. The highly proven Trakehner Buddenbrock adds a special blood variant to the pedigree and the extremely versatile Werther (Hanoverain Stallion of the Year 1992) as well as the Holstein top sire Calypso II, who is also the great-grandfather of Christ, round off the blood picture brilliantly.

Above Graphit and Gotthard, the valuable Hanoverian G-blood is clustered in the following generations. Raven represents the Hanoverian line 130/Anadyra I (by Angelo-Juli-Johannes-Trieglaff), which out of various branches produced such good stallions as A Conto As (PB Hess.), Abba (PB DK), Accusé (Ldb. Moritzburg), Campo Grande (Ldb. Dillenburg), Chalet’s Erbe (PB Westf.), Competent (PB Hann.), Golden Eye (PB IRL), Paganini, Premonition, Quitoll, Lustig, Sigesmund (PB Oldbg.), Wulf (Ldb. Celle) and the internationally successful dressage horse Tango Korrupti/Ina-Katrin Schmid.

We are excited about his first foaling year and are happy about the feedback from the breeders. Raven was in high demand at home and abroad last year and was exempt for the stallion performance test as all 3-year-olds as a result of Corona 2020. He will take his 50-day test in autumn 2021. Since the stallions have only been with us since 05 February, now have to complete the EU quarantine and Anna wants to get to know her charges under saddle in a relaxed manner, we have decided on the 50-day test in autumn as a “stallion performance test complete package”. Raven is an exceptional stallion in charisma and movement, whose progress under saddle we follow with enthusiasm. We are convinced that a great stallion is growing up here.
