Feinsten

Information

About - With an outstanding score of 91.0 percent, Feinsten claimed the silver medal at the Danish Championship for four-year-old dressage horses in Randbøl. Partnered by his rider Anne-Mette Strandby Hansen, the reserve champion of the Westphalian licensing and second reserve winner of his HLP impressed the judges with exceptional marks: 9.5 for canter and overall potential, 9.2 for trot, 9.0 for rideability, and 8.3 for walk.

Sire - His sire Franklin has enjoyed an outstanding career as a KWPN score champion, HLP winner in the Netherlands, World Dressage Horse Championships finalist, and internationally successful Small Tour competitor, later reaching Grand Prix under Malin Wahlkamp-Nilsson. His first offspring have already progressed to top-level sport, including reserve winner Kadans (Andreas Helgstrand) and the approved Caliber (Andrea Woodard). Among his more than 20 licensed sons are Inter I-placed Fusionist (Martin Christensen), reserve winner Franklin’s Love PS (successful to M* level), and Swedish HLP winner Knockando VH. His sport progeny further include Louisdor Prize winner and Aachen Nations Cup champion Fendi (Sönke Rothenberger), Germany’s vice champion and Olympic reserve; international Inter I competitor Elektra di Fonte Abeti (Juliette Ramel), European Youth Team bronze medalist Finale Melody (Julie Dam Jensen), DJM fourth-place finisher Francis Drake OLD (Martha Raupach) and World Championship-placed Straight Horse Floriana and Ferdinand De Fontaine.

Damline - Feinsten's dam St.Pr.St. Reykjavik earned a top mare performance test score of 8.97 (rideability 10; trot and canter 9.5) and won her riding horse classes. She produced an Extra Gold son licensed in Westphalia, as well as Vita Fleur (by Vitalis) ridden by Alvaro Almiñana Poquet (ESP). Her sire, Rock Forever I NRW, was reserve champion at his licensing, medalist at the German National Riding Horse Championships (bronze and silver at three and four years), Vice National Champion of five-year-old dressage horses, and sixth at the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses. He later placed third in the 2011 Nuremberg Burg-Pokal final and, with Sophie Holkenbrink, finished fifth at the German Young Riders Championships in 2013, going on to achieve victories up to Grand Prix level.

Progeny - Feinsten's first crop did not disappoint consistently producing noble types with wonderfully elastic movements through the body.
