Wayra: Breeding Mare with Exceptional Dressage Pedigree

Fürst Heinrich (Florestan I x Donnerhall x Weinberg) was an exceptional dressage sire who, despite his early death in 2005, left behind a significant legacy. As a premium stallion at the NRW licensing in 2000 and winner of the stallion performance test in Münster-Handorf, he impressed with his outstanding basic gaits, rideability, and character. In 2003, he became the World Champion of Young Dressage Horses under Helga Finken and was also the Vice Bundeschampion in Warendorf.

His breeding career was exceptionally successful: Fürst Heinrich produced over 50 licensed sons, including outstanding sires such as Fürstenball, who fetched €110,000 at the Oldenburg Foal Auction, as well as Fürst Romancier, Feinrich, Fürst Fugger, and Fürst Wilhelm. In addition to the stallions, he produced numerous award-winning mares and high-performance sport horses successful at the advanced level. His pedigree combines the blood of two of the most important dressage sires, Florestan I and Donnerhall, which underscores his exceptional hereditary power. Fürst Heinrich is considered one of the most influential dressage stallions of his time and has had a lasting impact on modern dressage horse breeding.
