Feinbrand`s offspring have been quite impressive and displayed his ability to pass down his incredible traits at the elite foal auction in Vechta. In 1991 Feiner Karl was sold for DM 30,000, a price that was equalled by Florestan in 1992, and even surpassed by Feeling Well who brought DM 50,000.

The FN breeding value rating lists him as a many-facetted hereditary transmitter. Feinbrand has got much Hanoverian blood but is licensed Oldenburg. Nevertheless, the pretty stallion is accepted by the Hanoverian, Westfalian and 7 others German breed societies, not taking his acceptance to the KWPN registry into account. "He crosses best with horses of blood and lighter warmblood mares. His high marks for ridability, type and movement should make these crosses very desireable," Barilar believes. Born in 1986, Feinbrand was bred by Josef Wernke and is by the highly famous Feiner Stern out of state premium mare Lagune B (by Admiral x Lavendel x Agram). After being laureled as reserve champion at his stallion licensing, Feinbrand continued a combined career as competition and breeding stallion.
