Gestüt Neuenhof - history, vision and successes
50 minutes very interesting documentary about the history, vision and successes for the breeder couple behind Gestüt Neuenhof. (In German)
It all started with successful jumping breeding, and the philosophy is that they only want to breed with the best mares by being very selective, even though they knew that the best mares would be even more valuable when proved themselves in the sport.
Among some of the breeding philosofies at Gestüt Neuenhof: Never make the combination with an unproven mare and an unproven young stallion.
Eternity
The gelding Eternity born 2014 by Escolar / Sir Donnerhall I, bred by Franz Remmersmann became Westfalen Champion as 3 year old under Pascal Kandziora, and later same year he became bundeschampion under Eva Möller. Since end of 2018 Eternity has been under further education by Danish international top rider Cathrine Dufour, and they successfully qualified for both Danish national Young horse championships finals and selected to represent Germany for World Championships Young Horses. Eternity is owned by Helgstrand Dressage.
Eternity was the first offspring by Gestüt Neuenhof stallion Escolar and therefore also something special. From the breeders of Eternity, he didn’t look that special as he only showed canter at the start of his life. Unfortunately he only had one testicle and he was therefore castrated. The breeders are now very excited as they have a 1 year old full brother. (Move the timeline to 46.30 the watch the part about Eternity)
