Fuerst Blue ~ 2004 16.0h branded Oldenburg m. by Fuerst Gotthard, dappled grey
"Bria" is a truly gorgeous dappled grey mare with a beautiful, classic hunter look. This stunning girl is by
the famous grand prix show jumper Fuerst Gotthard who is now retired from breeding. He is well known for
producing wonderful temperaments, good looks, and outstanding athletic ability, and Bria seems to have
taken after him very closely! She is not only very easy on the eyes, but is a good mover and great natural
jumper with a super easy lead change, and loves the loose rein ride. The best part of all though is that
she's kicking quiet and easy easy easy!!! She is rhythmic and brave but quiet to the fences and is very
forgiving, takes a joke! Bria has shown locally in the 2'6" hunters with great ribbons and is still eligible
green. She has plenty of step and walks the lines, and has the scope to move up easily to the 3' divisions.
She will make an excellent junior or amateur's horse due to her honest attitude, safe and quiet disposition,
and would be a great move-up from a pony. We have recently sent Bria for some additional education with
a dressage trainer, and she is proving to be extremely talented in this area as well! She'll be attending her
first dressage show soon. What an excellent, well rounded individual. Continue her dressage career or
take her back to the hunter ring. She is conformationally correct with great feet and clean legs, and has
good ground manners and no vices. In addition to being a wonderful riding horse, she has also produced
one lovely foal, and is subsequently approved in the Main Mare Book of the Oldenburg NA, so is well
prepared for a future broodmare career upon retirement from the show ring. Price may increase with
additional training, experience and show mileage, so get her now!

De Ja Vue ~ 2003 16.1 1/2h+ reg. Oldenburg GOV mare by Duellglanz, bay w/ star, two socks
Deja is now going at Second Level and schooling some Third Level movements! Has shown
with and ridden often by a child rider! "Deja" is big moving, elegant and exceptionally well bred from
some of the finest jumper lines of Calypso II/Cor de la Bryere. Her dam sire, Davignport, has been the
producer of many successful AA hunters as well as top notch dressage horses. This mare is an extremely
fancy mover and will hold her own at the top of most any prestigious hack. We are excited to put her
through the chute to see what she can do - she has a huge, long shoulder and strong hindquarter and way
of going that screams incredible jumper; so if she jumps as well as she moves as her pedigree suggests
she will, she will be something special! She shares as her grand-dam the same States Premium dam who
produced the approved Hanoverian stallion Scimitar, SPS Carballina, who is by Calypso II. While royally
bred for performance, Deja has gotten a late start only due to her owner's lack of time but is now in training
with a licensed professional and doing extremely well. She is light and soft on the bit, easy to ride and not
overly sensitive or quick and has a great attitude. She has a wonderful attitude and kind, quiet nature and
we expect great things from her. The trainer is extremely impressed with her and thinks she has serious
potential, and after riding her I can see why. She is wonderful and uncomplicated to ride with great
impulsion and drive from behind, which should also serve her well over fences. Deja is athletic and
talented and should make a fabulous Jr or A/O hunter or even a wonderful FEI dressage prospect. She is
currently being ridden daily and shown by a child! She has no vices and loads and travels great. Her price
has now been adjusted to reflect her tremendous increase in training and experience. She has been to
one local and one rated dressage show (Williamston) and did fabulously with scores in the 60's, but is
easily capable of 70's with more mileage. She is currently schooling Second Level and has shown at rated
shows at Williamston and Pinehurst with scores in the mid 60's! She is now scoring near 70 consistently.
She is probably one of the most nicely bred, highest quality prospects we've ever had. Deja is also
approved MMB I with the RPSI and is an interesting, top quality broodmare prospect for the future as well.
Price will continue to change as warranted, so don't wait.

Paris ~ 2006 15.3h branded Oldenburg m. by Pablo, bay w/ no markings
"Paris" is a typey and elegant 3 yo filly who is actually a half sister to Bria out of the same dam! In addition
to being equally attractive, she shares the same wonderful temperament and kicking quiet attitude under
saddle. Paris is a good mover with a nice, big and balanced canter. She is green but going well w/t/c and
has been started over small fences, showing a good aptitude for jumping! She is by the well-known
imported Hanoverian stallion Pablo, who comes from some of the finest jumping lines in Germany. She has
a very sweet personality and is not at all marish or dominant, and very willing and cooperative under
saddle. She goes in a rubber snaffle and hacks on the buckle. We are very excited to see her come
along, and she'll make a fabulous young prospect for the Baby Green's next year's show season! She is
quiet enough for a junior or amateur to bring along. Should mature a top of the line Sm Jr. Her price will
surely increase as she progresses so don't wait to look now for the best pricing.

Sensation ~ 1996 16.2h reg. Thoroughbred g. by Two Punch, fleabitten grey
"Toby" is that special kind that we look long and hard for but is so darn hard to find! We feel lucky to be
able to offer a horse of this caliber to our clients (we'd actually like to keep him!) and kindly thank his
previous owner for the chance. This big, attractive gelding has literally been there, done that, and is the
true meaning of the term. He has an extensive and impressive record to show for his career in both the
older Adult Amateurs and younger Children's Hunters with prestigious wins and good ribbons at such
shows as the Hampton Classic, Middleburg Classic, Lexington Spring Premiere and Encore, Pennsylvania
National, Washington International, Rosemount, Upperville, Loudoun, Keswick, Commonwealth National,
and the Ocala Winter Festival and Littlewood in FL. His USEF record is 27 pages long!! He is a wonderful,
wonderful guy and fabulous teacher. Toby is a very good mover that has won plenty of illustrious hacks in
his day, and he has a classic jump, a huge step, and a perfect, easy lead change. He is that made type
that all you need to do is just sit there and let him do his job that he knows so well, and he'll pack you
around. He is quiet and uncomplicated, fun to ride, goes in a french link snaffle, and is willing and
responsive to the aids. He needs no lunge, no prep, and he's fit and ready to walk in the show ring
tomorrow and win for a junior or ammy. He's easy around the barn with perfect manners, loves to ride
around bareback, and trail rides as well. Though he is a little older, he is very sound with no issues and
minimal maintenance, and this is the only reason he is even affordable now. Digital xrays are available. He
was easily a six-figure horse in his heyday, so don't lose this opportunity to have this gem, such an
awesome teacher and confidence builder! He is located with Chad Keenum (301-512-4383) with several of
our others, for ease in trying given the terrible weather we've had this winter. This is seriously one you
don't want to miss out on.

Acclaimed ~ 2003 16.0h Zweibrucker m. by Claim to Fame out of Hallmark mare, true black
Onyx is really just absolutely gorgeous, with one of the best heads you've ever seen on a horse - huge
eyes, small ears and a petite, dished face which compliments a long, curvy neck and a round, plump figure
that is extremely eye catching - and all in a solid pitch black shiny package! Onyx has shown both on the
line and under saddle successfully. She is a darling mover and has very cute form over the fences. She
has shown in the Baby and Pre-Greens and will make an excellent junior or amateur's horse. She is
ultra-safe, no buck or funny business, and you can pull her out of a field after months off (this winter was
so bad, there were weeks/months we could not ride) and she needs no lunge and is very quiet and easy.
Onyx does prefer a rider who is very soft and quiet as most mares do, and tends to get intimidated by an
aggressive rider. She goes in a rubber dog bone snaffle which has no metal in it and is basically hardly a
bit. I would trust her in this bit even riding out cross country, she is just that sweet and honest. She is one
of those that just gives you a safe feeling when you sit on them. Onyx has had some basic dressage
schooling and is light to the aids, supple, and very willing to please. She has a good lead change as well.
She has no vices or soundness issues and no special needs. When you come see her, you won't be able
to take your eyes off of her, promise! :) Due to our harsh winter, we were not able to ride much at all, so
she is not fully in shape yet. Therefore we have priced her VERY conservatively for the time being!

On the Rocks ~ 2005 16.1h TB g. by Grindstone out of Adriatic Princess, bay w/ star
"Andre" is a very handsome, fancy gelding with the classic, elegant show hunter look about him. He has a
beautiful head, big kind eye and small ears, along with a pleasing, round topline. He is a very good mover
who has been the local hack winner consistently, and a stylish, scopey jumper with a good lead change.
He is particularly easy and quiet, and has quite a few successful show miles even at his relatively young
age! So far he has shown well in the hunters, jumpers and also done horse trials! He is extremely
versatile! He has been champion almost every time out. With a big step and plenty of ability, Andre will
easily do the 3' and is a potential 3'6" prospect. He is still eligible Green. Andre is great out on trails and
also may turn out to be a nice, fancy hunt horse! Due to his quiet temperament he might be a super fun
Pony Club mount as well. He has the looks, talent and mind to do well in almost any discipline. He is
uncomplicated and quiet to ride and is well-suited for a junior or amateur to finish. He is currently fit and
ready to pick up the show season with his new partner. He is safe and kind and has no vices, is clean
legged, sound, and has no issues. Loads and travels well and has excellent barn manners. He is a joy to
have around and to own.

Slap Happy ~ 2002 15.2h reg. TB g., bay w/ star and two socks
"Slim", as we call him, is a handsome, classy looking, TB gelding who is a very good mover and stylish
jumper with lots of scope and great form! He has a good lead change and has miles through the 3'
Hunters and more recently the Jumpers. Slim always does well in the hacks since he is such a nice mover.
He is easy to ride and safe, though he is not lazy and does go forward, however harmlessly, so is better
suited for someone who is comfortable with this type of ride and doesn't want to kick all the time. He has a
big step, no quit and will jump anything willingly! Slim has good manners around the barn, is easy to
handle for clipping, bathing, loading, etc, and has no vices or issues. He's been around the block so he
has a seasoned attitude about things. Ready for a Jr or Ammy to have fun with in the jumpers, hunters,
eventing, Pony Club or even in the hunt field perhaps! He is currently ridden by juniors and is versatile
and ready to continue in any direction. A nice horse for someone looking for fun and the opportunity to do
some winning but without a huge budget! Price flexible for speedy sale as trainer is moving barns and
must downsize tremendously and quickly. He is currently in professional training with Chad Keenum in The
Plains, VA, and further info and/or an appointment to try him may be made by calling direct at
301-512-4383 or email at cskeenum@aol.com .

Romance ~ 2003 16.2h reg. Warmblood g. by Romantic Star out of TB mare, bay with star, 2 socks
"Romance" is an extremely attractive, fancy 7 yo gelding by the famous Romantic Star, and he is the
spitting image of him! Elegant, classy and beautifully dappled, this big, gorgeous boy gets noticed quickly
and totally screams AA show hunter in every way. He is a lovely mover with a big, rhythmical canter and an
especially good and easy lead change! Romance already has mileage in the Baby Greens and is jumping
around 2'9-3' and ready to move up, and he is still eligible Green. He has excellent form over fences and
is very brave to the jumps. His wonderful temperament makes him well suited for a junior or amateur to
finish, and he will make up to be a fabulous Children's/Adult Hunter, possibly with the potential to move up
to the A/O's and Juniors. Romance is a great traveler, easy around the barn and has no vices or issues.
He is sound, safe and sane. Just a wonderful guy whose well-rounded talents would also lend him to other
disciplines of one's choosing. He comes to us straight from his breeder, so his entire history is known. He
is in professional training and available to be seen at Chad Keenum's in The Plains, VA. Inquiries may be
made directly to 301-512-4383 or cskeenum@aol.com. As usual, quick business is subject to discount.

Grace RSH ~ 2007 16h Oldenburg/ISR m. by Golfball, bay with no white
"Lou Lou" is our second "Gracie" and another pretty plain bay mare, also just turning 4 yrs old, but in a
bigger package! She is a total sweetheart and very elegant with a classic hunter look about her. She now
has about 90 days under saddle in professional training and is going w/t/c. She is a very appealing mover
with a big, balanced canter. She will make a great prospect for a junior or amateur to bring along for the 3'
divisions and possibly more! She might even measure a Small Junior. Lou Lou has no vices, has always
been healthy and sound, and has absolutely no marish attitude. She trailers like a pro, will stand patiently
on the trailer or crossties for hours, and is great around the barn. Lou Lou has a certificate of pedigree
with Oldenburg/ISR. Keep checking for updates as we'll have pictures and video soon, as well as lots more
to report. She'll be in a program with a professional from now on, so price will increase with training
progression. Discount available for quick business to a good home.

Bridesmaid ~ 2006 16.1h Hanoverian EMC m. by Glorioso Noir, chestnut with star & socks
"Goldie" is all your could ask for, and then some! With the best attitude & disposition in the world, all the
beauty, all the jumping style, all the movement - she is a TOP candidate for either the hunters or the
dressage arena. Goldie is well rounded and has the quiet athleticism needed to make the perfect
amateur's or junior's mount and is a delight to ride and be around. This branded, star quality young
Hanoverian mare is bred to jump, and she shows off her outstanding talent both in the chute and under
saddle, with fantastic form and technique that will draw all eyes in the ring. She is so easy to ride, so quiet
and extremely willing and trainable. The word "no" is just not in her vocabulary! She has easy lead
changes and is brave and quiet to the jumps. Goldie will hack on the buckle and looks like the perfect
show hunter, but lurking beneath is also a very well schooled dressage horse, which makes her a pleasure
to ride. She has lots of show mileage in Florida and has done very well in the USDF Young Dressage
Horse classes with qualifying scores up to 7.42. She is ready to go in either direction; continue her
established dressage career or make her name in the hunter ring. Importantly, it should be noted that
Goldie is also an Elite Mare Candidate for the American Hanoverian Society - she is performance tested
with great scores, and needs only to produce a foal to obtain her coveted Elite status. Her high free
jumping scores also earned her entry into the Jumper Breeding Program, which is a rare achievement.
This makes her an extremely valuable broodmare prospect as well, and provides quite a safety net for the
future. We would love to keep her as an asset our breeding program, but she has far too much potential
for that right now. She is sound with no vices, fantastic manners, easy in every way. She is truly quite a
find! Goldie is in professional training and can be seen at Chad Keenum's farm in The Plains, VA.

future. We would love to keep her as an asset our breeding program, but she has far too much potential
for that right now. She is sound with no vices, fantastic manners, easy in every way. She is truly quite a
find! Goldie is in professional training and can be seen at Chad Keenum's farm in The Plains, VA.

Wild Chance ~ 1996 16h Oldenburg m. by West Coast, black with no white
"Chance" is a beautiful, elegant black 16h registered/branded Oldenburg mare who is the perfect
schoolmaster/confidence builder dressage mount for any rider, but is most valuable for an older or timid
rider due to her fantastic temperament and rideability. Chance is a solid citizen at 3rd level and schools
many 4th level movements, with many shows under her belt. Extremely soft, round and light with lots of self
carriage and balance, natural engagement, and is supple and sensitive to aids and forward but in the
correct way, and is very apparently meticulously trained. Exceptional lateral work, counter canter,
schooling half pirouettes and lead changes. All the buttons are there! She is a truly lovely mover with a
medium amount of suspension that will be easy to sit for more of a novice rider or also someone with back
or knee trouble. She hacks on the buckle too and is just extremely nice to ride all around. Actually she
might do quite well in the hunter ring as well since she also jumps fabulously! This is a very hard to find
sort who is ready to show someone the ropes and have fun! Safe, sane, quiet. Just a total gem who is
also perfect around the barn, for shipping/farrier, etc and no vices. While she is a bit older, she is
incredibly sound even barefoot, feels very youthful under saddle and has no maintenance needs/no
supplements and no issues at all. Just needs a little bit of conditioning/fitness but she is ready to go. No
marishness in the barn or under tack. She will also make a fantastic broodmare for someone's program
given all of her wonderful qualities of temperament, soundness, movement, looks and attitude. She is
already approved in the Main Mare Book for Oldenburg NA. Priced EXTREMELY conservatively and great
home is important for this sweetheart of a mare.

Grenadine ~ 2007 ~15.2h Oldenburg NA m. by Genuine/Gragenit out of TB mare, bay with no white
"Gracie" is an EXTREMELY pretty, typey and laid-back turning 4 yo filly by the up and coming Oldenburg
stallion, Genuine by Gragenit. She has graduated from our Young Prospects page where you might have
seen her previously. Though we did not breed Gracie ourselves, we could not pass her up and purchased
her at 8 months old when we saw her elegant type, classic hunter movement, beautiful face, correct
conformation and fabulous disposition, and her pedigree, which boasts some of the best jumping blood
contained within the famous Grannus line. Genuine himself had great success in the hunter breeding ring
and moved on to the jumpers, where he is training to go Grand Prix. As a yearling he was Reserve Grand
Hunter Breeding Champion and winner of the Zone 9 Finals. As a 2 and 3 yr old he was Zone 9 Hunter
Breeding Champion in his respective age divisions. The Thoroughbred influence has served her well by
enhancing her type and providing plenty of athleticism. She is a lovely mover with a surprisingly big step
and a natural lead change. In the free jumping chute, she has shown some tremendous talent and ability.
The higher the jump the better. While she did not grow as large as we hoped, it is truly shocking the
amount of stride and jump in that little package!! It dropped our jaws wide open! We predict she should
mature to at least 15.2h if not 15.3h and has no vices or issues, ships like a pro, is well handled and has
wonderful manners. Gracie now has about 6 months under saddle. She is green but very, very easy and
super uncomplicated, which makes her a real joy and super fun to work with. Definitely more of a kick ride
and not in a hurry! If you are looking for a QUIET, easy, great moving and fancy prospect for the hunter
ring, and are a smaller adult or junior rider, Gracie is going to be a super fun prospect to bring along! Who
knows, she may even make a fantastic Small Junior hunter one day. The ONLY reason she is this
inexpensive is because she is petite! She is jumping small courses and is seemingly equipped with plenty
of step. With her mind, movement and jump, she is going to quickly become much more valuable! Gracie
is now located with a local professional in Suffolk, VA, and is in a program and doing fabulously.
