Interesting note about this super German Thoroughbred - he is the grandsire of Michael Jung's mare Fischer Rocana FST who just won the Rolex 2015.
Fischer Rocana FST is a German Sport Horse, her entire top side is Thoroughbred, while dam's side is Oldenburg.

Interesting. The few Oldenburgs I've known all were large and sturdy.

Acatenango(GER) is a son of Sumuru(GER) who is the like a Northern Dancer or Mr. P of German lines. Very nice to see both in the bloodlines.
FYI- Acatenango(GER) is the sire of Musketier(GER), who stands at Calumet. I hope his babies do well, and congrats to our Rolex winner

If I was looking for an OTTB for eventing in a few years, I would look at Musketier's for sure.
I love German breeding.
