2021 1d premium stallion Oldenburg

"Very superior, master of the situation, with an uncanny overview. A dressage horse through and through. With enormous elasticity in his movement. With a lot of natural carrying power, as one would wish. A stallion that one can imagine competing at the next championships. He comes from a very successful Oldenburg breeding house von Merveldt from Vechta," said Breeding Director Bernhard Thoben in praise of our new addition Value, who was ranked Id on the premium ring at the Oldenburg Hengst-Tage 2021.  

The sire Valverde was Westphalian Champion and Vice Bundeschampion as a four-year-old, placed fourth in the World Championship Final as a five-year-old and won the Bundeschampionat and placed fourth in the Bundeschampionat Final as a six-year-old. As a seven-year-old, he and Yara Reichert won a series of international advanced (S) level tests for young dressage horses and placed eleventh in the dressage horse World Championships Final in Verden. Several sons from Valverde's first crop were licensed. His sporty offspring are off to a promising start under saddle.

The dam, St.Pr./El.St. Floris Laetizia, is a half-sister to the licensed riding horse Bundeschampion Finest Selection OLD (by Follow Me).

The dam's sire Floriscount was HLP dressage winner and overall second in Schlieckau in 2008 (Fremdreiter 10), went on to win dressage horse tests including qualifying for the Bundeschampionat and finished second in the Burg Cup Final in 2014 under Oliver Oelrich.He also received the VTV Dressage Stallion of the Year award in Oldenburg. With the breeder's daughter Patricia von Merveldt, he went victoriously up to Grand Prix. 20 of his sons were licensed, including the Grand Prix-placed Ferdinand/Kim Pfeiffer.

The third dam, Dubarry, produced the Intermediate I dressage horses Laudon and Lexus (both by Lauries Crusador xx). Her full brother Dubloon and her half-brother Lago Casablanca (by Lauries Crusador xx) were licensed, Dubloon was successful for Great Britain in international para-sport.
