Three foals, thereof two international showjumpers, and afterwards an international career up to 1.50m herself - this is the story of Silberrose Dree Boeken – and one of the reasons why also this Stakkato Gold × Vulkano mare has become an important part of our breeding.

Silberrose herself is a Stakkato Gold × Vulkano × Calypso II x Wienerwald x Agram descendant. Following her two foals, Silberrose was a very successful showjumper up to 160 cm levels, first internationally with Pieter Clemens before moving to the US where she went on to win with McLain Ward.

But looking back, it is not only her own sport career that makes Silberrose special to us. It is what she has passed on – and the influence she continues to have on our breeding until today:

Golden Eye Dree Boeken by Goldfever is one of her descendants. He was a licensed stallion, competed up to 1.60m, won the CSIO4* Grand Prix of Warsaw with Lars Bak Andersen and is now competing with Denmark’s Caroline Rehoff Pedersen. This year, we have three foals by Golden Eye at Dree Boeken – still bringing Silberrose`s genetics back into the next generation of our breeding.

Cardentos Rose Dree Boeken by Cardento is successful internationally, she won the 145 National U25 Grand Prix in 2022 and today is with Margareth Eikner. Before, she was already mother to Kings Rose Dree Boeken (successful at 155m levels under the sattle of Angelica Augustsson Zanotelli) and Vulkanos Rose Dree Boeken.

Long before the first competition. Long before one knows where and how far they will go. This is where it all starts.

A place where horses come first: Space to move, good company, and time to grow, surrounded by the forests and lakes of the Dahme-Heideseen Nature Park, just outside Berlin.

World Champions in Aachen. What a result.

Congratulations to the German show jumping team on winning World Championship gold in Aachen!

Congratulations to Marcus, Daniel Deusser, Sophie Hinners, Richard Vogel, Otto Becker and the whole German team. A fantastic performance.

Winning a World Championship is one thing. Doing it in Aachen, in front of a home crowd, makes it even more special.

And a special congratulations to Marcus Ehning. Three clear rounds with Coolio, another team world title, and 16 years after the German victory in Lexington, he is right back on top.

Every day, we observe our horses. Every day, they observe us.
Our horses tell us something. Not with words, but through their behaviour.

How they move across the pasture - how they interact within the herd - how they react to unfamiliar situations.

Careful observation often reveals small changes long before they become real problems. Over the years, we have learned that successful breeding is not only about making good decisions.

It is also about recognising the right moment to act. Good breeders spend as much time watching as they do planning.

Dree Boeken Alumni: Loewenkoenig Dree Boeken
Born in 2014, Loewenkoenig Dree Boeken was the first Hanoverian-approved son of the legendary Darco.
His pedigree reflects generations of Dree Boeken breeding: Darco × King Kolibri × Vulkano FRH while both King Kolibri and Vulkano FRH were bred at Dree Boeken, making Loewenkoenig a combination of internationally proven bloodlines of our own breeding program.
Following his approval, Loewenkoenig stood at the State Stud Celle's EU breeding station in Adelheidsdorf before going abroad. Today, Loewenkoenig continues his sporting career in South Africa with Grand Prix rider Sandy Manasse of Ascot Stables and we are proud to see another Dree Boeken horse performing at the highest level internationally.

“Trust is the foundation of confidence.” - Arend Kamphorst

At Dree Boeken, young horses spend a lot of time with people from the very beginning. Nothing spectacular - just the things that later make everyday life easier. Being handled. Being led. Standing tied. Regular hoof care. Loading onto the trailer.

And then there is everything outside the stable. We walk them in the woods. They see tractors and farm machinery. Other animals. New places. Strange noises. Sometimes we simply rub them with a plastic bag and see what happens.

Every horse reacts differently. That is exactly why we treat them as individuals. When the time comes to start under saddle, we want them to already know one thing very well. They can trust people, deal with new situations and stay confident.

For us, Education starts long before the first ride.

Con Balou Dree Boeken: Proven genetics - Proven performance - and a journey that is only just beginning.

A licensed Hanoverian stallion by Contendro II out of our homebred Baloubets Rose Dree Boeken (Baloubet du Rouet x Darco), combining three of the most influential jumping bloodlines with one of Dree Boeken's proven mare families.

His dam is successfully competing at international level with Marcus Ehning, while Con Balou is carefully and thoughtfully produced by Kaya Ehning.

Already qualified for the Bundeschampionate on multiple occasions, Con Balou reached the Bundeschampionat Final as a five-year-old. He started his six-year-old season in impressive style, winning his very first competition of the year and securing another qualification for Warendorf.

Developed patiently rather than rushed, he combines outstanding rideability, scope and attitude with the pedigree and potential to succeed at the highest levels of the sport.

Con Balou is now available to a new home with ambitions to develop his exciting potential for the highest levels of the sport. For further information, videos and enquiries, please contact us directly.

Dree Boeken Alumni: Cardentos Rose Dree Boeken

Some mares leave their mark in more than one way.

Bred at Dree Boeken, Cardentos Rose Dree Boeken combines the exceptional blood of VDL Cardento with one of our strongest mare families. Out of Silberrose, who competed internationally with McLain Ward, she represents generations of proven performance.

Before leaving our breeding program, she had already produced two promising offspring: Kings Rose Dree Boeken (V: King Kolibri) and Vulkanos Rose Dree Boeken (V: Vulkano FRH).

After being sold to Estonia, Cardentos Rose Dree Boeken has continued her successful international sport career under the saddle of Margareth Eikner, proving her quality in CSI competitions with consistent performances at international level.

This combination is exactly what we strive for at Dree Boeken: mares that perform successfully in international sport while passing on their talent to the next generation.

We are proud to follow Cardentos Rose Dree Boeken's journey and wish her riders and owners continued success for the future.
