Herzensdieb

At 2005 Trakehner licensing, Herzensdieb was celebrated with overwhelming applause by the spectators and was awarded Champion Stallion by the judges. “This stallion is not just moving, but dancing,” was the enthusiastic comment. Breeding manager Lars Gehrmann added, “Endowed with the aura of something special, this stallion embodies the classical Trakehner upgrader type.” In 2006 he was the Reserve Champion of his 70-Day Stallion Test triumphing over champions from the 2005 Hanoverian, Oldenburg, Westfalian licensings as well as the top 10 Holsteiner stallions of the year! He won the 2006 Trakehner Championship for 3-year-old stallions, qualified for the Bundeschampionat for 6-year-old dressage horses and then trained up to the Advanced Level.

Sire Tambour won his licensing and was highly successful in jumping and advanced level dressage. Tambour went on to sire auction horses, Premium mares and successful sport horses, including the two licensed sons, Herzensdieb and Herzog.

Herzensdieb's dam, SPS Herzensfreude, scored a 9.11 at her mare performance test and was successful in dressage. Granddam, SPS Herzenslust, is reigning champion mare in Schleswig-Holstein and also won her mare performance test. This noted damline has produced several licensed stallions, successful dressage horses and highly awarded breeding mares. In the third generation of Herzensdieb, there is a valuable inbreeding component over Elite mare Tilsit III.

Herzensdieb is a clear improver of type with amazing rideability. His daughters Heartbreaker and Helmi have won high honors at mare shows and he has sired five show winning Trakehner mares in various regions. His two licensed sons are Laxdoyen and Herzenswunsch. Herzenswunsch was champion of Southern Germany in 2012, Horse of the Year in Berlin-Brandenburg and mulitple Bundescampionat finalist.

Herzensdieb has a FN breeding value dressage of 142 points and is in the Top 10% of German dressage sires with offspring earning over 20,000 E to date. He is approved Trakehner, Southern Germany, Denmark and Sweden.

Hampton

His Highness' successor, Hampton is the carbon copy of his sire. As a 3-year-old Hampton was Reserve Champion of his stallion test in Schlieckau with the overall score of 134.24. He competed and won several young horse classes with high scores. In 2009 Hampton qualified for the Bundeschampionat in highly competitive shows. Hampton was successful up to Inter. I and qualified in 2013 for the finals of the Nürnberger Burgpokal

He is bred out of an exquisite dam line which combines success in breeding and sport. His dam, SPS Red Chili, had a second licensed son in 2011, For Royal (by For Compliment). Damsire Rotspon was champion of his stallion test and has sired an impressive 21 licensed sons. Granddam SPS Carina is the full sister of renown stallion Compliment and is dam to the licensed stallion Lesodoro (by Londonderry). She competed as a family in the 2007 and 2009 Herwar-von-der-Decken Show with her daughters, winning every year. She is from the highly successful Ahnenholde family known for producing internationally successful horses and licensed stallions. Hampton's offspring have fulfilled the highest expectations, producing great types with seemingly endless moving potential. In 2010, Hampton sired the winning mare (dam by Lauries Crusador xx) of the Two-Year-Old Class in Himmelpforten. In 2011, Hampton's first son, H's(dam by Weltrhum-Aarking xx) was licensed and competed successfully in young horse classes as well. For two years in a row, Hampton was able to place himself under the top 10% of German dressage sires with as core of 148 according to the estimated breeding evaluation made by the FN. Hampton is approved Oldenburg, Denmark and Sweden.

First Dance

First Dance was the hit of the Hanoverian stallion licensing 2006 with his remarkable movement and dressage potential. Currently under saddle with Inga Von Helldorff he is surpassing our expectations as to his quality and performance. His exciting bloodlines should be of great interest to Hanoverian breeders everywhere.

First Dance was enthusiastically received at the 2006 Hanoverian licensing. He scored a 9,0 for his walk,8,75 for the ridibility  and an 8,5 for character, constitution, trot and canter in his thirty-day-test.  According to the estimated breeding evaluation First Dance has a score of 147 points, making him a member of the leading group. In 2009 he qualified for the Bundeschampionat  and was  8th rank in the first round. First Dance won classes for young dressage horses in L-and M-classes.

He is the sire of auction foals, states premium mares and licensed stallions

His sire, Florestan I, has long since earned the reputation of a trademark stallion with his more than 70 licensed sons, including the dressage horse World Champions, Florencio I and French Kiss, more than 170 State Premium mares and countless sport horses such as Floriano/Stefan Peters/USA, the dressage team bronze metal winner at the WEG 2006 in Aachen.

First Dance is the first foal out of SPS Dorina, a mare who took the 1A prize each year from 2003 to 2006 at the show in Aurich-Tannenhausen. The dam's sire,Donnerhall, stands for the successful symbol of breeding and sport. A double World Champion in dressage twice under Kain Rehbein, he left more than 100 licensed sons behind. By the end of 2006, his offspring in sport had won more than 1.5 million euro.

Fairbanks

Now in the US! Oldenburg Licensing Champion in Germany, Exciting Young Sire awarded 1c Premium

Fairbanks was Champion of the 2009 Oldenburg Stallion Licensing in Vechta, Germany. He quickly became the crowd favorite with his spectacular performance, extravagant gaits, impressive jumping ability and willing temperament. Fairbanks completed his 30-Day Test very successfully. In a field of 49 stallions, including Bundeschampionate winners, Licensing Champions and top-priced stallions, he placed third with an overall score of 8.74. He repeated this success in 2011 at his 70-Day Test. He was the only stallion to score over 100 in both jumping and dressage, showing his great versatility and willingness under saddle. He has gone on to be successful to the advanced levels.

Sire Flemmingh, a most successful dressage stallion in the Netherlands sired international dressage horses Krack C (Anky van Grunsven) and Lingh (Edward Gal). A Flemmingh daughter was the overall Champion at the Dutch mare show.

Fairbanks' dam, SPS Identify, was highly praised at her Mare Performance Test.

Damsire Inselfürst was the winner of his Stallion Test and successfully shown in Advanced Level dressage. Full sister to Fairbanks' granddam Alegra produced stallions San Brasil, a Bundeschampionate participant and Celle stallion Los Angeles. In 2011, Fairbanks presented his first outstanding foal crop which were very representative of himself; large expressive foals with long lines, beautiful heads and necks and outstanding movement. At the 2011 Oldenburg licensing, Fairbanks was awarded the 1c-Premium due to his exceptional Stallion Test results, impressive foals and his overall development as a top breeding stallion. This was especially remarkable as he was not primarily breeding in the main Oldenburg breeding region and therefore had to stand up to strong competition for this award. Currently, his offspring just beginning their under saddle careers are exceeding all expectations. In 2017, we are looking forward to Fairbanks' first foal crop since his importation to the United States! He is approved ARS and GOV.
