Freiherr is regarded as one of the most influential sons of Furioso II, the Selle Français stallion imported to
Oldenburg in 1968 by Georg Vorwerk. Freiherr’s dam Almentanne,
produced two other approved stallions, the full brothers Fürst
Agram and Furi Agram. Her sire, Agram produced the international
showjumpers Anakonda, Abadir and Agent (who competed at the 1976
Olympics with Paul Schockemöhle, and went on to win DM130,000).Freiherr
won the Oldenburg Stallion licensing in 1978, the next year he
won the performance test, and in 1980, he was crowned main premium
winner on the basis of his first crop of foals. He has a number
of outstanding offspring, including: Weltwunder (champion mare
of her age group at Aachen in 1986 and the dam of Donnerschwee),
the mare, Love Story, a DLG winner (a major German show), his
champion stallion son, Feiner Stern, and the dressage star, Flashdancer,
ridden into 6th place at the WEG in 1994 by the Irish competitor,
Anna Merveldt-Steffens..
