Grannus - not just a name but a symbol, a trademark. A symbol of a potent individual with an aura only a very few are blessed with.

With a lifetime total of well over five million DM so far, the off-spring of this glossy black Hanoverian stallion which include seven Olympic horses and more than 60 approved stallions, have made him one of the greatest sires in the world. Just as powerful as his inheritance is, his end was just as spectacular. In full view of several thousand spectators at Klatte's 1993 Stallion Presentation in Vechta, the heart of the Oldenburg breeding area, the 21 year old muscle man suddenly fell to the ground - the last breath of an equine personality
seldom seen.
"Grannus always caught your eye, he knew how to present himself and he really came to life when people were watching him", remembers Gisela Klatte, the senior owner of the tradition-rich, Klatte Stallion Station in Lastrup. When things were quiet in the stables early afternoon, Grannus dozed peacefully in his box. But as soon as he heard a visitor arrive, his ears would prick and he would start to whinny like he owned the place and kick the walls of his stable - as if he were trying to call attention and saying
"here I am - I'm the one you want to see!"

Breeder/Owner: Zuchthof Klatte, D-4595 Lastrup
