Sire Weltpoet under HSM Balzer, Dillenburger Landgestuet (click to view Gallery)Full House at Hessian State Stud of Dillenburg
The history of horse-breeding in today's regional state of Hessia was constituted by consolidation of Kassel, Korbach and Weilburg state studs in 1870. However it goes back in time way further to 1589 when under “Wilhelm the First” the "Wild Horses of the Zapfenburg stud" developed to the "Sababurger" which were considered to be particularly tough.Later under “Wilhelm the Rich”, the "Dillenburg Ramsnoses" which derived from spanish and neapolitan stallions were sought after as parade riding horses but also as carriage horses for state coaches, due to their expansive gaits. The royal stud of Beberbeck was established in 1724 through the combination of the estate of Beberbeck with Sababurg stud and only a few years later, in 1737, Kassel state stud emerged from it. In 1869, Dillenburg became the state stud of Prussia-Hessia-Nassau and one year later, the first state stallions occupied their loose boxes there. 
Last weekend now the state stud opened its doors for the annual state stud presentation 2009 to the public again. In its 4th year in cooperation with the state stud of Lower Saxony Celle the state stud Dillenburg also this time again presented two and four-legged stud colleagues from Celle. Celler stallions from the Youngster Hohenzollern up to the experienced sires Rascalino and Perigueux presented themselfes in very good form without exception.The list of “stars” was promissing and accordingly the large indoor riding arena was occupied with 1.200 spectators up to the last seat.One looked forward to presentations of well-known and successful Dillenburger Sires such as Chalet, Weltpoet or D-online among many other things and were facilitated by the land stable masters Mr. Xanke and Dr. Brockmann.The “work at hand” with a balanced D-online under OSM Lenz inspired the public likewise as an extremely convincing and dominant older gentleman named Reflektor lead by apprentice Scholz. Show-jumping specialists Exodus under apprentice shepherd and Excursion under apprentice Scherneck convinced the interested public as well as many other stallions by expression and vigour.
This presentation of two state studs Dillenburg and Celle once reflected professionalism and teamwork on all levels. Colleagues of both studs worked hand-in-hand and set an example of outstanding co-operation.
