Lansing

Licenced Holsteiner Stallion
Born 1986 – Standing 166cm

Lansing comes from the wonder stallion Landgraf I, Sire of Sires, and sire of top competition horses who is remembered by jumpers and breeding stallions such as Burggraaf; Libero H; Waterford Crystal; White Jumper; Libertino; Landadel and Latano. Lansing was a very successful sport stallion where he was a winner at GP level in Germany. He is out of the famous mare, Monoline who is also the dam of both the top stallions, Calvin Z and Cantus. It is therefore no wonder that the Holsteiner Verband made such a big effort to buy Lansing after his sporting career as they realized how valuable he was for breeding. Ramzes is a stallion that has been responsible for top competition horses as well as numerous top stallions in nearly every stud book in the world.
