Breeder – J. Guicheney

Inschallah was a French bred Grey Anglo Arab (36% Arab) who was exported from France to Oldenburg where he became the most important sire next to Furioso II at the famous Vorwerk stallion station in Cappeln where he stood from 1970 to 1990.

In 1972 he won his stallion performance test in Westercelle.

Among his 30 some licensed sons, including Indonese, a highly successful Grand Prix stallion, Ile de Bourbon and Inervall, two advanced (S) level winning show jumpers, and Inselfürst, who won his stallion performance test. He was the sire of the Swedish Olympic horse, Inferno. Inschallah AA also sired more than 70 premium mares and a great number of horses that were highly successful in sport.

Inschallah was approved for breeding by the Oldenburg Verband as well as Hannoverian Verband, Trakehner, Westfalen, Hessichen (Hessen) and Rhineland Verbands.

Inschallah was a large framed horse with enormous gaits, producing a more rounded movement, with higher knee action and a reaching forward stride as opposed to the flat leg movement of earlier times.

His progeny’s winnings in Europe amounted to almost one million DM. He sired over 30 licensed sons but has emerged as a more important brood mare sire – Rohdiamant and his full brother, Royal Diamond, are both out of an Inschallah mare.

In 1995, Germany’s former Oldenburg breeding manager, Dr Roland Ramsauer, said “Inschallah blood is currently very popular with European breeders. Inschallah’ s impeccable temperament has been successfully and consistently showing up in generation after generation of his offspring. Breeders have discovered that although there are excellent moving stallions available, there has been some problems with unsuitable temperament. The Inschallah blood produces enormous gaits and solid conformation, but it also produces very suitable sport horse temperament.”

Inschallah’s son, Istafan, who was represented at the European Showjumping Championships 2015 by his son, Isti, is very much a product of the breeding program of the great Georg Vorwerk: by Inschallah, out of a mare by Furioso II out of a mare by the Verwerk’s great Thoroughbred sire, More Magic xx.
