Already at the 2023 Westphalian main licensing, FEINSCHMECKER gave clear indications of his riding horse qualities through his movement potential and willingness to perform. His first competition appearances in 2024 in riding horse classes were also very promising. At the 2024 Verden Championships, the Franklin son, ridden by Linda Weiß, placed 4th with a score of 8.2, followed by a 2nd place in a riding horse test with a final score of 8.3.

In 2025, Feinschmecker qualified for the final of the Hanoverian State Championships with a score of 8.6.

The stallion impresses above all with his elasticity, rhythm, and exceptional rideability, and his further sporting development is eagerly anticipated.

In 2025, his first foals were born and were equally impressive. With excellent type, modern conformation, and great athleticism, they received high scores at foal shows, and several were marketed through auctions.

Feinschmecker’s sporting prospects come as no surprise, as his pedigree is filled with outstanding references.

Feinschmecker’s sire, the elite stallion Franklin, began his career as a KWPN champion stallion, performance test winner in the Netherlands, finalist at the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses, and later achieved placings in international Small Tour competitions. Under Malin Wahlkamp-Nilsson (SWE), he has since added successes at Grand Prix level. Nineteen of his sons have been licensed. Franklin’s sire Ampère, himself a KWPN champion stallion and performance test winner, produced, among others, the successful Grand Prix stallions Abegglen FH NRW (Victoria Max-Theurer/AUT), Attraktiv (Ivan Nieto Sanchez/ESP), Amandori (Simone Pearce/AUS), and the Olympic participant All at Once (Yessin Rahmouni/MAR). His awarded daughters include the Westphalian champion mare Anky and the mare Amicella, who produced the Westphalian champion stallion, Westphalia and Bundeschampion, World Championships finalist for young dressage horses, internationally successful Inter II horse, and fourth-place finisher in the Louisdor Prize, Valverde.

Feinschmecker’s dam Dakota is a daughter of Dancier, the De Niro son and Donnerhall grandson.

Dancier, who left the breeding stage far too early, was the 2004 Hanoverian licensing champion in Verden, the 2005 performance test winner in Adelheidsdorf, the 2006 Hanoverian Reserve Riding Horse Champion, and bronze medalist among four-year-old stallions at the Bundeschampionat in Warendorf. Later successful up to advanced (S) level, he also made a major impact in breeding, with 58 licensed sons and numerous dressage horses successful up to Grand Prix level.
