Ex Libris passed away peacefully in his paddock on Sunday 22 March 2009, at
his home in Baxter, Australia. He was the 1991 100 day test winner at
Medingen and was a successful sports horse up to S Klasse in dressage. He
sired 4 licensed sons including the Bundeschampion and later Grand Prix
competitor Exupery. His most notable progeny, the Olympic competitor,
Escapado has won at the top level under two different riders, Carl Hester
and now Hans Peter Minderhoud. Escapado finished in 13th position at the
Athens Olympics in the individual, and has won a number of top tiered Grand
Prixs including the British Nationals. Escapado’s full brother has been
purchased by Katie Price to be her up and coming FEI horse. Ex Libris
daughters continue to influence the breeding in Germany with a number of
successful horses being out of Ex Libris dams including the premium stallion
Rubinero (Gestuet Vorwerk) and De Libris by De Niro (Warendorf.) Ex Libris
spent one stud season in the USA before being imported to Australia in 2004
by Joanne Everly and Sheree Martin of www.warmbloodsatstud.com.au. He
unfortunately became infertile and spent the last few years in retirement.
His presence is still felt in breeding today in Europe. He will be sadly
missed.
