He was recently put in training with Stefanie Egger from Europe where she rated him as "Most likely the horse with the most ridability and trainability I got a chance to sit on throughout my time in NZ. He's a beautiful horse that gives the feeling of exceptional scope that's just waiting to be shown off to the world." BLOODLINES WATCHAMACALLIT LS was an outstanding stallion by the stakes winning TB sire WATCHMAN. WATCHAMACALLIT LS is a superb jumping talent - he has an amazing quick action with his front legs keeping them well away from the jump. While extravagant in the air he gives over the jumps, he is still keen and showed no hesitation in the loosejumping. He is bold, careful and really tucks up those knees - all the things you need to produce top horses for eventing and jumping. Remember, he is 3/4 thoroughbred so has that "blood" that the overseas riders have found valuable in their top jumping horses. WATCHMAN was a top racehorse with 10 wins from 1200 to 2450m including 2 Stakes wins & Aus $147,000. He was a very athletic horse with beautiful paces and excellent muscling. His pedigree is impeccable including AGRICOLA (dam sire of Brilliant Invader the sire of WEG Champion Eventer READY TEDDY and is of interest recently as the sire of the dam of NZ’s showjumper of the moment, DELPHI who placed 6th = in the World Cup finals) and to top NZ thoroughbred broodmare sire ONCIDIUM. A real bonus is that his female (bottom) line traces directly back to MAUREEN who was the dam of FURIOSO xx - acknowledged as the most influential TB sire used in warmblood breeding in Europe. His pedigree includes a similar cross of Precipitation as the great Furioso xx but with the added value of Hyperion in the dam line as well. The dam of WOTAN LS is FABERGE LS who is by the frozen semen hanoverian sire WODAN by WINNETOU. WODAN jumped at top level in Europe in the 1980s and sold to the USA. WODAN was bred on the same cross as the phenomenal WITZBOLD who produced most of NZ's top dressage horses in the 1980s & 1990s. Faberge's dam was VOGUE LS who was a grand-daughter of NZ based VOLTAIRE II a valuable bloodline in mares at stud.

ABOUT US > Riders and Trainers Riders and Trainers Stefanie Egger Stefanie Egger spent two months early in 2025 with Doug Isaacson for a working holiday here. She has been breaking in horses in Austria, Germany, France and Sweden since 2010 working primarily with 2-4 year olds - mostly show jumpers and eventers. She's competed young horses herself all over Europe in eventing and showjumping until 2015. 2015-2020 she was supporting a company to build a mobile horse therapy fleet in Austria, Germany, UK, Ireland and Sweden. Throughout that time she got to do work for Mark Todd and plenty of other world class riders of all disciplines including the racing industry. Since moving to Sweden in 2020 she's cooperated a fair bit with Bruce Goodin, who competed one of the mares she produced up to 1.30m classes as a 6yo. At her current place she is presenting young stallions at the approval tests for the Swedish stud book and shows most of the mares age 3-5yo in similar evaluation environments. Most of them she'd also teach to load both on a trailer and truck before they'd be sent home to their owners. She also spent about 18 months working with an Irish horseman who's known in Sweden to break in and fix sharp horses. Throughout that period horses were constantly coming and going keeping 15 boxes filled at all times. Photo is Stefanie with WOTAN on a very rainy day in Dannevirke.
