100 day performance test WINNER!!!
Sire of 4 licensed sons and 4 state premium mares. Sire of Exupery 4 year old Bundeschampion in 1997
His progeny are known for high rideability

Ex Libris has an impressive international pedigree. His sire Elan xx, who is placed in advanced dressage competitions, is a son of the German TB Wiesenklee xx, who finished third in the German Derby. Wiesenklee xx is also the sire of approved stallion Troublemaker xx, who stood in the Netherlands and in Oldenburg. Ex Libris's dam Aphrodite is one of the best Dutch mares and a multiple champion mare. In 1994 Aphrodite presented a further approved and performance-tested son in the Netherlands. She is by Principaal, who presented good dressage horses in the Netherlands. He is a son of the successful sporting horse Formatuer (by the Holstein Polaris and out of an Oldenburg bred dam) who is standing at stud in England today.
Extremely valuable to the Dutch breeding of dressage horses is the Trakehner stallion Doruto (sire of the great-grandam of Karolien), who became famous thanks to several Olympic horses e.g. Banjo (Jo Rutten), Robby (Bert Rutten) and above all Ideaal (Jo Hinnemann). Today he is found in the maternal line of many good sporting horses and stallions.
In 1991 Ex Libris convincingly won the stallion performance test in Medingen, scoring 9.0 twice for rideability and for basic paces (his very good walk and outstanding trot have to be mentioned). He also achieved the highest index for rideability at the test however his jumping was also above average (8.33 for course jumping). Ex Libris successfully competed in the dressage arena up to advanced level (Klasse S).
The approved son Exxon was Reserve Champion at his 100 day testing in Marback and also in 1997 approved son Exupery won the 4yr old Bundeschampionate. In 1996, one of his daughters was named Reserve Champion Mare at Rastede. In addition, many auction horses candidates where sold (270,000DM at the PSI auction, and 170,000 at Vechta). In 1994 a 4 year old Ex Libris daughter competed in the Federal Championships of the German Riding Horse in Warendorf. In 1993 Extraklasse was the top priced filly of all German breed societies' auctions in Vechta. From his first crops in Oldenburg a high percentage of foals won a Premium.
