As long as he lived, piaffeed, danced, Totilas was a gold mine. For the Dutchman Kees Visser, who sold the legendary dressage stallion in 2010 – according to his own statements for 9.5 million euros – to the German horse dealer Paul Schockemöhle. For the people who were allowed to market Totilas’ name on coffee mugs, hats and tea towels. And finally for Schockemöhle himself, who immediately sold the sporting rights to Totilas to the former dressage rider Ann-Kathrin Linsenhoff, but kept the breeding rights himself. A good deal: Totilas remained a sought-after stallion even after his career ended in 2015 due to injuries. Before he died unexpectedly of colic on December 4, 2020.
