In the United
States, Werbellin is often thought of as a dressage stallion.
Paired with Christopher Hickey since 2001, the pair have moved
steadily up the levels from 2nd Level through Intermediare I with
scores consistently in the 70's. On the competitive Florida
and New England circuits they have garnered numerous High-Score
Awards. In 2006, they captured the USDF Region 8 Championships
at both Intermediare I and Intermediare Freestyle. Werbellin
was shown lightly in 2007, earning a 76% at Intermediare I and is
schooling all of the Grand Prix movements at home. Werbellin's cool-mind and powerful gaits make him a reliable and impressive performer, not only in the show ring, but also during unusual events, such as an evening exhibition to thousands during Equine Affair under a spotlight or USDF National Symposiums. This calm personality has allowed Werbellin to handle the dual-role of competition and breeding stallion with ease and it has been a special pleasure to watch him competing at the same shows as some of his offspring.

While his gaits and dressage ability were always evident, in Germany, Werbellin was pointed towards a Show Jumping career. Dr. Bade chose him for the German State Stud and he finished his 11 month Performance Testing with 122.95 points and Class 1 status. During 1998 and 1999, Werbellin competed in jumper classes for young horses at the A and L Levels. He won 19 classes, and placed in the top four in an additional 20. Werbellin's offspring show the same versatility as their sire. Their great temperaments, and versatile athleticism are allowing them to excel with amateur and junior riders in dressage, hunters, jumpers, and eventing. Werbellin has produced a number of premium foals from a variety of mares. Offspring of Werbellin include Wrival and Weltissimo, who are showing successfully on the "A" Hunter circuit and Werbellin has also produced his first licensed son, Waterford SF. Bred in the US, this exciting young stallion was shipped to Germany for his Stallion Licensing and approved!
"Werbellin has consistently proven himself in front of International
judges. He has an excellent ability to sit and carry weight
behind, but also offers bold extensions. He has an excellent
temperament and is always a reliable competitior. "
