About Landadel

Landadel is a (died 1996) bay Holsteiner showjumping stallion foaled in 1982, by Landgraf I out of a Farnese dam.

Landadel, a bay Holsteiner stallion, was foaled on 1 January 1982 in Germany. Bred by Ilse Hell, Landadel featured an influential pedigree that included prominent sires such as Landgraf I and Farnese. Despite an initial rejection by the Holsteiner Licensing Commission due to his perceived lightness, he succeeded in proving his capabilities by winning the championship of his 100-day test at Medingen in 1985. His success at this test bolstered his reputation, leading to his lease for breeding to the Böckmann family, where he became a pivotal part of their breeding programme.

Landadel was primarily approved for breeding by the Oldenburg studbook, but his influence extended across multiple studbooks. Throughout his career, he was lauded for his contribution to showjumping as he consistently ranked among the top showjumping sires. His progeny were known for their versatility and competitive prowess on jumping circuits internationally.

Landadel's significant legacy as a sire in the showjumping domain is marked by several influential offspring. Notable among them is Landor S, a stallion who made a mark in showjumping through his successful progeny. Another of Landadel's sons, Landfriese I, further cemented his legacy by producing high-calibre jumping horses. His progeny also include Le Cou Cou and Landkoenig — each contributing to his enduring impact on equestrian sports ([boeckmann-pferde.com](https://www.boeckmann-pferde.com/front_content.php?idart=58&idcat=21&lang=2); [equineinsights.it](https://www.equestrianinsights.it/portfolio/landadel-landadel-pr/)).

Landadel died in 1996. Breeding may continue via frozen semen — confirm availability with the stud.
