INSCHALLAH
Famous
Oldenburg Stallion
Inschallah
was a definitive example of the Oldenburg
Foundations Sire. Inschallah was a French bred Grey Anglo Arab (36% Arab) who was exported from France to
Oldenburg where he became the most important sire next to Furioso II at the famous Vorwerk
stallion station in Cappein.
Inschallah was approved for breeding by the
Oldenburg Verband as well as Hannoverian Verband, Trakehner, Westfalen, Hessichen
(Hessen) and Rhineland Verbands. Inschallah is
considered a prominent influential bloodline in
current Dutch horse breeding.
Inschallah was a large framed sire with enormous
gaits... producing the current desired style of trot
in Germany of a more rounded movement, with
higher knee action and a reaching forward
stride...as opposed to the flat leg movement
desired years ago.
With his powerful frame and extravagant movement, Inschallah has had a big influence on
modern warmblood breeding.
His offspring have dominated in every aspect...auction foals, show mares, elite foals,
conformation show class winners, top dressage horses and show jumpers.
His progeny's winnings (in Europe) are well over DM 891,000. Inschallah has sired Olympic
medal winning dressage horses and has over 34 fully approved sons including "Oldenburg" a
Dutch stallion, Indonese, who won over DM 30,000 in dressage competition in 1990, Ile de
Bourbon, In Extenso, Inselfurst, Insider, Interpol are just a few approved stallions standing in
Germany at the present time.
The Swedish team Olympic dressage horse, Inferno, is by Inschallah.
And the Olympic Champion, Mon Cherie, owned by Elizabeth Theurer-Max (Austria) is by
Inschallah and is well known for his exceptional collecting ability.
His auction foals, including Invincible (DM 150,000), bring in top prices.
Inschallah has sired fillies who have produced such successful sires as Westminster, Picasso
and Very Important. He sired over 83 premium mares. Ideal, one of
Inschallah's offspring, born and branded in Germany in 1985, was
exported to the United States and has become one of the most popular
breeding stallions in North America. Inschallah's son, Ideal, has for
five years running (1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001) was the number one sire of
Premium foals in North America presented to the ISR/Oldenburg NA
Registry.
In 1995, Germany's former Oldenburg breeding manager and former Oldenburg N.A. breeding
manager, Dr. Roland Ramsauer, said "Inschallah blood is currently very popular with
European breeders. Inschallah' s impeccable temperament has been successfully and
consistently showing up in generation after generation of his offspring. Breeders have
discovered that although there are excellent moving stallions available, there has been some
problems with unsuitable temperament. The Inschallah blood produces enormous gaits and
solid conformation, but it also produces very suitable sport horse temperament.
Inschallah has been described by people who know him as a kind and intelligent stallion eager
to please and careful with handlers. His offspring are collectively considered quite intelligent
and very oriented to be around people. |
