Dinken delivers! And also with his well above average offspring: last year, 91 percent of his Holsteiner Verband-registered foals were awarded premium status. Strong and powerful with a medium frame, his pedigree assembles all major performance sires of the last decades. A rare succession of world class sires with Diamant de Semilly, Cassini I, Caretino and Marlon TB in the first generations, in the background safeguarded by Le Tot de Semilly, Corrado I, Contender, Lord, Ramiro, Capitol I and several crosses to sire extraordinaire, Caletto II – this is Dinken’s pedigree.
Dinken stands in particular for ambition, quality jumping with good reactions and willingness to perform and passes on these qualities with great reliability. His foals have sufficient chic and movement to be awarded premium status at above average rates. The success of his sport horse offspring shows that he is evolving into a performance sire.

Sire
His sire Diarado, Holsteiner champion stallion in 2007, attracts attention for his own performance and particularly for his offspring. His progeny, including his highly successful sons Don Diarado, Dicas, and Donatello have earned him a reputation as a top sire, as documented by the international WBFSH sire ranking, where Diarado is on 15th position as a jumping sire and on top of the eventing sire list.
Damline
Dinken’s dam Inken was successfully shown at international level by Peter Wylde. At three-year-old she won champion mare of North Frisia breeding district. She has stamped her son in terms of type, structure, and boundless performance attitude. Her produce includes four show jumping offspring with results to international S level, Quinken (Max De Mol), Quinka (Hikari Yoshizawa), Incaro LS (Tom Martens) and Dinka (Hikari Yoshizawa). Moreover, her daughter Ninken (by Littorio) has produced the stallion-graded international jumper, Clicksem.
Own Performance of Dinken
Dinken performed impressively during 30-day testing. With his jumping ability judged 9.0, his jumping breeding value was estimated at 134 points. During the 2015 season, Dinken achieved many very good results under Jonas Panje. He won several young horse jumping classes at L level and was highly placed in young horse jumping classes at M* level. The combination also qualified for the National Championships in Warendorf. In 2016, Dinken competed in young horse jumping classes to M level with great success. He qualified for the Warendorf National Championships again and won the Elmshorn six-year-old Holsteiner Jumping Horse State Championship. A severe tendon injury ended Dinken’s sport horse career.

Offspring of Dinken
Dinken’s foal crops are particularly impressive: as they present themselves with excellent type, vigorous and with outstanding movement, it is not surprising that 91 percent of his foals registered with the Holsteiner Verband in 2024 were inspected in the premium range. In 2023, a Dinken daughter won the filly class of the Lienen foal championship. Dinken has several licensed sons across Germany, including the stallion Dubliner. Dicardino by Dinken-Cardino, a stallion licensed in Westphalia, qualified both for the National Championship and the World Championship of the young jumping horses last year.
Dax by Dinken became the 2022 National Champion of the six-year-old jumping horses in Warendorf. Richard Vogel and the Dinken-Corrado I offspring (Dirk Georg Jessen, Jardelund) jumped to finish first in the final of this high calibre young horse class. Dax’ near perfect bascule and his quick reflexes – typical Dinken qualities – proved particular impressive.
The first Dinken offspring arrived at youngster tour level have chalked up first jumping results at S level. Among them Dollar-Kl, who had already performed impressively at the 2019 world championship for five-year-old jumping horses in Lanaken with Filip Dolezal/CZE. Ducati and Mario Walter placed in jumping classes up to international S** level. Denana, a Dinken-Ibisco/TB daughter has several placings up to 1.45m level with Frank Wagner. A former Holsteiner auction horse promotes his sire Dinken at top level on the international eventing scene: Denim (dam sire Ibisco TB) is a fail-safe ribbon collector at four-star-level with Philipp Dutton (USA). His full sister Stine sold to the USA for 13,000 euros at the 2024 Holsteiner elite foal auction.
