\"\"A golden promise for the future of dressage horse breeding<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When a breeder’s dream comes true, it sometimes has a very special sparkle. For Ursula Kasberger from Lower Austria, this sparkle is called Just Champagne<\/strong> \u2013 an extraordinary buckskin colt who will compete at the Hanoverian licensing in Verden from November 21 to 22, 2025, and then break new ground at the auction.<\/p>\n

The 2.5-year-old Oldenburg stallion is descended from Just Wimphof and carries valuable dressage blood via Quantensprung and Floriscount, which stands for power, clarity, and modern rideability. He was already awarded a prize in Vechta as a foal \u2013 an early promise of his potential. For Ms. Kasberger, who bred the stallion in Sottrum with Anja Rietbrock, he is much more than an outstanding horse: he is the fulfillment of a long-cherished dream.<\/p>\n

\u201cA horse with this character, this charisma, and this special color \u2013 I have always dreamed of this.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

With Quintale, her palomino Oldenburg mare, Ms. Kasberger produced her second foal and got exactly what she had hoped for with Just Champagne: a talented, well-balanced dressage horse, clear-headed, impressive in expression, and with a pedigree deeply rooted in classical breeding history.<\/p>\n

A statement for special colors in dressage horse breeding
\n\"\"<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Just Champagne stands not only for quality, but also for a conscious choice: the return of special colors in modern dressage breeding. Buckskin, palomino, and other colors were once widespread, especially among Trakehner horses. It was only the consistent focus on standard colors that pushed them into the background for decades.<\/p>\n

The young stallion carries the cream gene and passes it on \u2013 an exciting aspect for breeders who value special, yet genetically clearly defined and strongly inherited colors. His impressively full, natural tail is one of his visual trademarks.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"Training, preparation, and the journey to Verden<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Just Champagne received his basic training from Team Barock & Klassik in Sottrum. Under the guidance of Anja Rietbrock<\/strong>, he was sensitively prepared for the preliminary selection \u2013 a task he mastered brilliantly with his harmonious movements, inner calm, and strong foundation.<\/p>\n

Since the Hanoverian licensing<\/strong> has only been open to special colors again for a few years, Just Champagne is the only light-colored young stallion in the lot this year \u2013 a real highlight for all lovers of rare color variations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

Licensing and auction \u2013 a weekend full of excitement<\/h2>\n

Just Champagne will be presented on both days of the licensing under catalog number 83<\/strong>. On Saturday evening, after the licensing decisions, the next big step will take place: the auction. For Ms. Kasberger, it is an emotional moment\u2014a mixture of pride, gratitude, and a touch of sadness.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will make someone else very happy. But for me, he will always remain something very special.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

Conclusion: A stallion that touches hearts\u2014and can enrich breeding<\/h2>\n

Just Champagne combines quality, charisma, and a rare color that makes him stand out in breeding. Anyone who wants to take a look at the future of modern dressage horse breeding should not miss this stallion in Verden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
