headed off to the stallion station at Böckmann. Wow! After being given a guided tour and the option to get up close and personal to famous stallions such as Fidertanz and Floriscount OLD, we went out for some lunch at a lovely nearby restaurant. Te topic of discussion once again was very much horse related, however having members of the group from countries all over the world made the time fly by. Course members from Germany, Belgium, Lithuania, Denmark, USA, Canada and Dubai attended and made the whole experience so enjoyable. And the conversation was always diverse as we have such different day-to-day lives.”
Day Four, Saturday
“Our final day and it flew past! It was a very early start for us so that we could attend the vet check for the auction foals. After that, we made time to go to the Schockemöhle shop (many ladies in the group were kicking and screaming at the idea). Te rest of the day consisted of mainly viewing the sport horses and foals during the various presentation. We were fortunate enough to interact with the owners and breeders and get hands-on contact with the auction lots for the majority of the day. At 3 pm, the real fun began—the auction commenced! Prices fluctuated, the odd bargain was stolen and the top lot proved to be the final lot in the auction, a gorgeous Foundation liver chestnut filly out of a dam line of three state premium mares. Just exquisite and could have been ours for a mere 107,000 €! One member of the course purchased two foals and that provided much excitement for everybody!”
Ben’s Conclusions
“Overall, words cannot express what a truly wonderful experience these past four days have been. I cannot remember the last time I enjoyed myself so much with a group of new people. We laughed for almost four days solid with group chitchat and banter that was thoroughly infectious! It was so lovely to enjoy the company of other like-minded equestrian people and come away making new friends, gaining a whole wealth of knowledge and being thoroughly inspired to turn our own training environment into an even more inspiring set up where our own friends, clients and horses can thrive. To sum up our trip—AWESOME!!! I look forward to returning to another Oldenburg Verband course someday and would whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone interested in sport horses and in particular in sport horse breeding.”
