Franzi was our daughter Cora's dressage horse until 2014. We acquired the big bay mare with the excellent gaits in 2008. Cora was able to celebrate great successes with the performance-ready mare by exceptional sire Florestan I. Together they came third in the 2011 Westphalian Young Rider Dressage Championships and were crowned District Young Rider Dressage Champion in 2014.

In 2014, we decided to breed Franzi in order to anchor her genes in our breeding program. The healthy, happy filly Bambi by BORDEAUX, who saw the light of day in 2015, proves us right in our considerations. Especially since we broke Be my Bambi in, trained her and presented her at shows, the big-framed mare has done her mother proud. She is wonderful to ride and moves like a dream. In her first show season in 2019, she has already put in an outstanding performance and won two tests for young riding horses with top scores. In the meantime, she has already placed several times in elementary class dressage tests for young horses. She gave birth to her first foal in 2023.

After Bambi Franzi two more great colts by ZOOM and CHAMPAGNER FIZZ. Her son Zuper Franzel cut a great figure at the Optimium in front of Münster Castle and was also able to secure a victory in a novice class dressage test for young horses as a 4-year-old.

In 2023, she should go into well-deserved retirement and focus on our young horses and weanlings. weanlings and raise them in her manner. But that didn't quite work out: in 2023, Franzi showed that her love for foals is greater than any reservations and took in the orphan foal Far Niente, whose mother unfortunately did not survive a terrible colic. Franzi looked after the young man as if he were her own foal and showed once again in this situation that we can always rely on her. In 2024, at the age of 24, she actually went into well-deserved retirement and has been enjoying her pensioner's life at Behrenshof ever since.
