Vaderland – Exceptional Dressage Stallion with Top Ratings and Proven Career

The stallion Vaderland completed the 14-Day Test in Adelheidsdorf in spring 2019 with an outstanding, dressage-focused final score of 8.74, earning the second-best dressage result. In March 2020, he successfully passed the performance test in Verden with a score of 8.48. His trot and willingness to perform were particularly praised, each receiving a remarkable 9.5. For his rideability, he was awarded a dream score of 9.75 by the guest rider.

Initially, Vaderland was trained and brought into competition by Dinja van Liere. In early 2024, the pair competed at the CDI Prix St. Georges and in the Freestyle at the Dutch Masters, achieving second place in both competitions on their first attempts.

Vaderland also impresses as a breeding stallion: his offspring are already successful at stallion approvals and competitions, and he has repeatedly produced auction highlights. For his exceptional achievements in sport and breeding, Vaderland was named VTV Stallion of the Year 2024.

Since moving to Gestüt Brune, Vaderland has continued his career successfully under Bernadette Brune. At their first start together, they won the St. Georg Spezial. Their debut in the advanced S*** level was equally impressive, scoring over 70% and finishing second at competitions in Pinneberg and Elmlohe.
