Stallion fates as well as that of the Ferdinand are in the current time hardly more conceivable. It was the plakative example of the vielzitierten career "of the plate washer to the millionaire". Ferdinand was always a hard, irritating stallion. Its very good shoulder became quickly clear, it had sufficient Widerrist and in the age also a good Halsung. In the entire, it was however quadratic and carried a quite large head. The rear leg was somewhat gewinkelt, the gear just and spirited. In younger years, it made few here. It was thin in the neck, tip and little bemuskelt in the Kruppenpartie. First of all the 1941 born brown stallion of 1944 to 1949 in Landesbrück, the current Vorzeigestation in the hannoverschen high breeding zone Kehdingen stood. There it had not delivered mourned much to do, it to be sure some mare and the stallion rock block, that eliminated quickly again out of the Celler existence, but the breeding it no tear after when it was shifted after franc castle.

Actually no miracle, for its coming later had not been able to improve in the first years the impression that the stallion itself left behind. Also they were noticeable through short necks and short Kruppen, were often spätreif, had open flanks, short pairs of pants and partially bad saddle situation. On the station franc castle in the vicinity of Bremen the first exceptional coming later of Ferdinand fell then. The star of the Ferdi (with Alwin Schockemöhle) began to illuminate and all at once became a very desired stallion, that with the repeated Umstationierung (1960) out of Ferdinand into the high breeding zone, and to be sure after Baljerdorf, that recovered neighbor station of its first effect site a real chance. Here Ferdinand left behind several gekörte sons. For Celle, it placed the well known Vererber Wedekind, tropic and Winnetou, in Westfalen caused sovereign Ferdinand (late Zangersheide), in Oldenburg stood waltz and in east frieze country Wegerich. Above all the three first mentioned placed the heritage of its father through strong use on a wider basis. Sovereign Ferdinand was and a. full brother of the success horses Faustus and Funchal/Hendrik Snoek. Its best son in the rectangle was Mehmed with which Dr. of pure Klimke became 1974 world champions of the Dressurreiter. Mehmed was certainly more a chance product, for the large strength of the Ferdinand-children was the jumping. The daughters were better was confessed predominantly in the breeding successful, in the sport solely fire baptism/Carde judge. Ferdinand was the first profit sum-millionaire under Germany at that time stallions. At 26 years of age the reinerbig was delivered dark stallion (it made only brown and Rappen) into the Austrian country g sharp deed Piber. In the heights climate of Piber, yet three years were directed it causing of beneficial. It has leave behind in Piber yet several gekörte sons, as well as some valuable mother mare. It was puten to sleep 29jährig.
