Purchased from Landgestut Celle in December 2007, Lokomotion fulfilled the expectations in the 2008 competition season at his new home in British Columbia, Canada. Undefeated in his FEI Four- Year- Old Dressage competitions, Lokomotion was proclaimed "one of the most exciting prospects for international competition" by judges who awarded him the score of 77.4%. His impeccable jumping pedigree, superb mind and outstanding form contribute to his versatility. Long negotiation and a desire to spread excellence in the breed to North America convinced Landgestut Celle to part with their rising star, originally purchased at the Verden Stallion auction for the Hanoverian breeding program. Dr Ludwig Christmann, International Breeding Director, describes Lokomotion as "a big framed stallion with a lot of presence and good conformation, great temperamental and rideability. He is versatile and with his unusual but performance based pedigree should match many different types of mares : those with the classic dressage pedigrees and jumper mares as well" His Sire, Lordanos, is exceptionally talented over fences earning a score of 10 in his performance test and in competition demonstrates unlimited scope, exceptional bascule and leg technique. Lordanos' record as young horse champion (Bundeschampionate), grand prix competitor and 20 licensed sons crossed with Landsieger's ability to produce winners in dressage and jumping explain Celle's choice in selecting Lokomotion for their program. Lokomotions' high scores in his 300-Day Test at Adelheidsdorf for temperament, rideability and athletic ability have been confirmed by his 2008 competition results with a rider new to FEI competitions. His excellence fertility is verified by test results and his first crop of foals will arrive in 2009. We are proud and excited to provide North America breeders' access to this exciting young stallion.
