"Thriller" Total Hope/Hohenstein/Sixtus/Kostolany

 Westfalen Colt Bprn May 30, 2023

From the very desired sire of Total Hope Winning Grand Prix Dressage 2023

This colt will mature to 16.2 h. He is all black with one white hoof. His movement is still unfolding but it looks to be as expected with 3 jaw dropping gaits .We believe he will be excellent under saddle and excel in dressage moving up through the levels quickly. If you are look for an FEI young horse this is your prospect. He should be exactly what you need with the gaits and willingness to succeed all the way to Grand Prix

He is out of one of our top mares. She was imported from Germany and this is her 5th foal. The first was sold as a 3 yo with completely clean full body xrays to a dressage judge. The next filly was retained in our breeding program. The 3rd foal was a colt bought as a stallion prospect and is just 2. Last years colt was sold to a top young rider as her future Grand Prix mount

Total Hope is the Sire

Burg Cup and Louisdor Prize winner and participant at the World Championships

With his successful participation in the World Championships in Herning/DEN, Total Hope has reached the highest level - and in record time. In 2022, for his first Grand Prix season, he won the competitions in Hagen a.T.W., Mannheim and Pinneberg with his trainer Isabel Freese/NOR with results up to almost 76 percent. In the Grand Prix in Aachen, he came fourth (with 75.0 percent). For this result, he was named VTV sport stallion. Before that, Total Hope won the Nuremberg Burg Cup in 2019 and the Louisdor Prize in 2021, something that no other stallion in the long history of the two most important young horse competitions had ever achieved before. And both times, he won in an absolutely impressive manner - clearly ahead of the strong competition. For his piaffe, passage and tempi changes in the Grand Prix final in Kronberg, the judges awarded scores up to 10 - a total of 77.54 percent. “That was a very mature performance”, commented Dr. Dietrich Plewa. “What is particularly impressive about this horse is that nothing seems trained or mechanical. This is the result of systematic training”

Without a doubt, Total Hope has inherited the talent for collection from his parents, who are none other than Totilas and Weihegold. 

Total Hope began his career as Champion of his Swedish licensing, dressage champion and finalist as a six-year-old and bronze medallist as a seven-year-old at the World Championships for young dressage horses. 

Total Hope OLD’s first sons have been licensed. Furstepoppel/Emma Ahlberg/SWE took part in the World Championships for five-year-old dressage horses in Verden. Total Target, already placed internationally in competitions for young dressage horses, was one of the top bids at the P.S.I. Auction. Terpling's Tiffany, Champion Foal in Denmark, was sold for 46,000 euros at the Danish Foal Auction, Total Amour was the top price of the 2021 DSP Online Auction, selling for 25,500 euros and Total Niro was also one of the top prices the year after at the DSP Online Auction.

His sire Totilas won double gold at the European Championships in Windsor/GBR in 2009 and triple gold at the World Equestrian Games in Lexington/USA in 2010. Furthermore, he was unbeatable at the World Cup Final in 2010 in 's-Hertogenbosch/NED and achieved numerous world record scores. He has produced over 30 licensed stallions, including the aforementioned Total Hope OLD, who was among the record-breaking number of Totilas’s offspring competing at the World Championships in Herning in 2022, just like Torveslettens Titanium RS2/Marieke van der Putten/NED, who came fifth by team. 

His dam Weihegold OLD was Oldenburg Champion Mare, winner of the Burg Cup and Louisdor Prize and, ridden by Isabell Werth, Olympic Gold medallist, triple World Cup winner and fourfold European Champion. She also produced the licensed stallion Jewels Sir Weihbach (by Sir Donnerhall I), who was successful up to Inter I with Tristan Tucker/AUS. Her daughters have also produced licensed stallions. St.Pr.St. Weihcine (by Fürst Heirnich) produced the Oldenburg licensing Reserve Champion Dodo Weihgand (by Diamond Hit), St.Pr.St. Aweih (by Apache) produced the Westphalian Champion Stallion Extra Gold (by Escolar), St.Pr.St. Weihcera Royal NG (by Zack), victorious at advanced (S) level, produced the licensed stallion For Gold (by Franziskus), St.Pr.St. Fürstin Weihe (by Fürst Romancier) produced the licensed stallion Damon Gold (by Damon Hill) and Weihronce (by For Romance I) produced the licensed stallion Viva Gold (by Vivaldi). One of her granddaughters produced the licensed stallion Iowa Gold (by Asgard’s Ibiza). 

Weihegold OLD is by Don Schufro, who led the German dressage breeding valuation for years, was internationally victorious up to Grand Prix level and won the Olympic bronze medal in Hong Kong/HKG with the Danish team in 2008.

His dam is Kween Bee

KASPAROW ( by EH Sixtus / Kostolany ) was also bred by Bernd Berge in Germany. In 2009, he was proclaimed Elite at the Trakehner Stallion Licensing in Neumunster. The black stallion is owned by Arja van der Laarse from the Netherlands. He was sold after his stallion approval via the Elite Auction at Klosterhof Medingen. He is the sire of the outstanding stallions Titulus, Insterpark, and Redecker.

This is Landgestut Marbach’s 5 year old License Trakehner stallion KRONPRINZ. He is FULL BROTHER to KWEEN BEE. Both were bred by Bernd and Erica Berge. Kronprinz was trained by Irina Oberthur and selected to compete at the 2010 Bundeschampionate. The black stallion was a premium stallion at the 2007 Trakehner Licensing and sold to Marbach for 110,000 euro. THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE FAMOUS KASSADRA DAMLINE

Unfortunetly, in heartbreaking news, we learn that KRONPRINZ had to be put down in August of 2010
