Routinier was born in the Oldenburg
region of Germany on July 28, 1995. He was licensed in 1997 and
approved in 1999 at the 100 day stallion performance testing in
Neustadt/Dosse, Germany. The quality of the stallions at the 1999
stallion performance test was noted to be the best ever seen, with
scores reflecting the test’s competitive nature. Routinier
completed his stallion test with a score of 113.43, finishing 8th
out of the 40 stallions tested. He received two 10.0s and six
9.0s. 10.0s for “Willingness to Perform” and “Overall Ability to
Perform” and 9.0s for "Temperament", "Character", "Rideability",
"Canter", "Trot" and "Jumping (U/S)". Routinier is the ONLY stallion
available in the USA that has received such high scores at the end
of the testing. Although Routinier excels in the sport of Dressage,
he is also a skillful and talented Jumper.
Routinier has a wonderful
temperament. He is very intelligent and respectful, sensitive and
affectionate. Extremely kind and easy to handle, Routinier is just
a pleasure to work with and be around. Under saddle Routinier is
thoughtful and hard working with a true desire to strive for
perfection. In hand he is always a gentleman and enjoys being
handled and fussed over. Routinier loves: being groomed, being
talked to/lots of praise, turn out, going for walks, Ponies, taking
naps in the afternoon, lying down in his stall with his human
buddies, Jolly Balls, breakfast/lunch/dinner, natural supplements,
treats and belly rubs. Most importantly, he loves his breeding
duties and thinks himself a bit a Casanova. Best explained,
Routinier is like a member of a Royal Family.
Rubinstein I needs hardly any
introduction. He was from the outset one of the most popular sires
who ever stood in Oldenburg. After an outstanding stallion
performance test, in which he was placed third, and an excellent
first crop, he was the overwhelming main premium winner in 1990. A
stallion with unparalleled influence and success, he had 40 wins at
Grand Prix level, was a member of the 1996 Olympic team, sired 89
state premium mares and 66 approved stallions and was the father of
top auction horses and Grand Prix winners.
Inschallah (AA)
is considered to be one of the greatest French bred Anglo Arabs (36%
Arab) ever seen in Germany. Inschallah began his career in Oldenburg
at the famous Vorwerk station by winning the performance test at
Adelheidsdorf in 1972. Once exported from France to Oldenburg, he
became the most important improvement sire next to Furioso II at the
famous stallion station. He soon gained a reputation for siring
dual purpose horses. 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. Please visit

Zeus, sire of
over 31 approved stallions in a multiple European Warmblood
registries, was first named as a Selle Francais, Gordios. When
French bred Gordios was sold to George Vorwerk and imported to
Germany, he was renamed Zeus. As a 9-time champion of his age
group, and with the earnings of his offspring totaling almost 4
million DM, in Germany alone, Zeus is known as one of the best
producers of jumpers the world has ever seen. At the Oldenburg
stallion approvals of 1992, he sired the first and second Reserve
Champions. Zeus has presented numerous top international competition
horses. In 1993 at the German Championships Zerberus (Ludger
Beerbaum,) became the champion of 5-year old jumpers. In '94 at the
Vechta Auction Zino, was the top foal (went for 60,000 DM). At the
1995 World Cup finals not less than 6 Zeus offspring participated.
At the auction in Zangersheide in '98, Zeus was the sire of the
highest priced horse. For more information please visit
