Performance Test Winner For Kingdom by Kandziora Heads to Moritz Treffinger’s Bonhomme Stud Farm

The now eight-year-old Oldenburg stallion For Kingdom is a son of For Emotion, bred by Lynne Crowden in England. Anyone who takes note of the breeder’s name may recall the former two-time world champion in young dressage horses, Woodlander Farouche. In fact, Farouche and For Kingdom are half-siblings. Both are by the Dimaggio-Caprimond daughter Woodlander Dornröschen. And both of their sires trace back to the great line founder Florestan.

So, plenty of good genes that really came through in For Kingdom. This became apparent early on. As a four-year-old, he won the sport test in Verden with his owner, Pascal Kandziora, in the saddle, scoring an 8.81. In 2023, he repeated this success, this time with a score of 9.05. In between, he also completed a short aptitude test, and he impressed there as well, scoring 8.92.

At the end of 2023, Severo Jurado Lopez—a Spaniard now based in North Rhine-Westphalia and formerly a trainer at Helgstrand Dressage—took over training the stallion. He developed him up to Class S and placed him third in his first (and only) competition in 2025. This year, Valentin Munkedal, a trainer at Stall Kasselmann, entered the noble bay horse in one competition but was unable to place. For Kingdom has not competed in any other tournaments so far in his career.

So now Moritz Treffinger, the U25 European champion and eighth-place finisher at the World Cup, is set to take over For Kingdom’s further training.
