Grand Prix rider Charlotte Jorst (DEN) sold her eight year old KWPN stallion Vitalis to Paul Schockemöhle and Lone Boegh Henriksen. The offspring of Vivaldi x D-Day became reserve champion at the 2009 Westfalian stallion Licensing in Münster (GER). After that, he was breeding for three years in Warendorf. His foals are outstanding and often cause excitement at auctions. Vitalis was presented for licensing in the Netherlands as well, but the breeding association KWPN rejected him.

“Vitalis is such a great breeding stallion. I feel he should be given the best opportunity to contribute to the next generation of sport horses, and I know he will have that with Paul and Lone. His life is going full circle, back to Europe where he was born!”, said Jorst about her decision to sell Vitalis.
