 The
story of the Frank Spönle show training is very
well known from all those involved in the Arabian
horse business. 20 years rich of success and
satisfactions. Countless champions all over the
world made this training center famous worldwide.
Frank had the pleasure to have in his hands some
of the greatest horses of the breed. Some of them
are milestones in the history of the Arabian
horse. This year saw an important change for Frank
and his team. The training center moved to a new
state-of-the-art facility only a few kilometers
away from the old farm.
The farm
is located in Geldern, a small town that lies in
the plains of the lower-northern Rhineland, west
of the Rhine. A long driveway with high trees on
both sides brings you straight in front of the
stallion barn that can host up to 20 horses.
 The
remaining 60 boxes are dedicated to mares and
fillies and youngsters. The barns have high
ceiling and plenty of light. Every box has a door
to a small outside paddock. The farm is provided
with a big indoor arena and a high tech walker
machine for 8 horses. The whole farm is surrounded
with green fields and paddocks where the horses
can graze outside and the young ones can enjoy
each other’s company.
A
wonderful place to work, train and exercise the
horses, as well as a perfect place to let them
enjoy life in the pastures. Frank’s clients can
feel comfortable in having their horses away from
home in such a well equipped farm in the care of
the well trained staff at Frank Spönle show
training. Many of Frank’s accomplishments during
the past few years had been possible also thank
you to the wonderful team of people he could put
together.
Horse
people who have a true and real dedication for the
Arabian horse who have contributed making the
Frank Spönle show training center so famous world
wide.
The Frank
Spönle show training is one of the most successful
training centers in Europe and the future holds
many more exciting adventures for Frank and his
team.
One of
the all times most famous mares will soon reach
Geldern: Kwestura. She was sold to Sheikh Ammar of
Ajman Stud during the 2008 Pride of Poland annual
auction for the highest price ever registered in
this world wide famous event. In honor of such a
famous mare, the Spönle team will hold a Welcome
Party in Aachen where people will have the chance
to see one more time the “Queen of Poland”.
Kwestura will stay at Frank’s place and wait for
her early 2009 foal by Qr Marc. The plans for
Kwestura are already set. Stay tuned to discover
what the new year holds for her.
 A
few other famous horses will make their return to
the European show rings in 2009, as well as some
new Superstars such as the young and promising
colt Maharaja HDM, owned by Mystica Arabians,
Australia. From a pedigree of champions and
champion producers, Maharaja HDM will leave a
significant mark in the future of the breed. There
will be more and more champions to come, horses
who will start their show career in this small
German town as well as legendary champions who
will find in Frank’s stables their home away from
home.
We would
like to take the chance to thank all our clients
and friends for their devoted support during all
these years and we hope to share more and new
successes together in the years to come.
