Overview
The 12-year-old Westphalian stallion Rock Forever was bred for success. In 2005 Rock Forever was awarded the Reserve Champion at the NRW licensing. His show-stopping career started in 2006 by winning the Bronze Medal at the Bundeschampionate as a 3yr old. In 2007 as a 4yr old he was named Champion at the Kampmann-Festival in Bremen scoring a remarkable 8.9. During the Westphalian week in Munster-Handorf Rock Forever again became Champion earing a score of 8.9. He topped off his 4yr old year by winning the Silver Medal at the Bundeschampionate. Rock Forever’s 5 year old year was no less exciting. Under Oliver Oelrich, Rock Forever won the Westphalian State Championship. He then went on to place 6th at the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses. Rock Forever ended 2008 with a spectacular finish winning the title of Vice-Bundeschampionate in Warendorf. Competing at and placing in the medals at the Bundeschampionate, three consecutive years in a row is a feat that is not accomplished by many. Rock Forever continues his success in the Dressage arena in S advanced classes with great success.
Rock Forever is known for his exceptional three expressive gaits. His impeccable conformation lends well to his marvelously free shoulders. Rock Forever has a powerful, uphill canter that is distinctly his and it is continuously passed on to his offspring, known as the “ Rock Forever Canter”.
At the young age of 12 this incredible stallion already has offspring that are carrying on his legacy. He has 24 licensed sons and several state premium mares. In 2013 Rockencio (Rock Forever x Florencion I) was named the Champion of the Westphalian Stallion Licensing. Rock Forever’s offspring represented him at the 2013 World Young Horse Championships and the 2013 Bundeschampionate. Rock Forever himself had a great year in 2013 when he had the second highest German Breeding Index, a great achievement for such a young stallion.
With such a diverse heritage, successful competition record and flourishing offspring Rock Forever is a sire that is making a mark for himself now and for the future.
