Westfalian Foundation Stallion - Florestan I - Dead at 26

 

The Westfalian foundation stallion Florestan I has passed away at age 26 at his home Landgestut Warendorf in Germany, on Tuesday 2 January 2011, due to problems connected with his age. The stallion stopped breeding three years ago and was enjoying his retirement at the stud farm. 

Bred by Grit and Eberhard Schulte-Böcker in Geilenkirchen, Germany, Florestan was by Fidelio I out of Raute (by Rheingold x Garamond).

Florestan became a true foundation stallion stamping his offspring and creating a breeding line of his own. He was the runner up on the 2011 WBFSH Dressage Sire Ranking thanks to his successfull offspring competing at Grand Prix level dressage. More than 2,000 offspring are registered as competition horse in Germany.
