Cadence Ranch impresses the Germany judges

On September 15, 2011 Cadence Ranch attended The Oldenburg Horse Breeder’s Association of North America (GOV) inspection and stallion licensing and made quite an impression on the three judges – Holly Simenson, Katrin Burger and  Felix Einhaus and those in attendance.

First, Dean Martin CR an imported three year old stallion by Don Frederico out of a Weltmeyer mare was presented for licensing. He was the second horse to go in the jump shoot and showed great technique and aptitude for jumping despite his mostly dressage breeding. He was then presented under saddle, where he showed off his amazing gaits. Judges were particularly impressed with the quality of his walk and how uphill he was in the canter. He demonstrated great rideability especially for a young stallion in unfamiliar territory amongst many mares. Overall, the judges were very impressed with his confirmation, uphill an elastic movement, his beautiful head, powerful hindquarters and his sweet and confident character. We are excited to announce that he was unanimously licensed by the Oldenburg Horse Breeders Association (GOV) for breeding and can now begin accepting mares.  

Cadence Ranch presented two foals for inspection as well. Symphony CR by Sinatra Song out of the Oldenburg mare Wonder Woman was presented first. She absolutely stole the show. Judges stated that she is exactly what they are looking for. They said she is the best foal they have seen in the US. I am so excited to have bred such a exemplary filly. She received premium with distinction.

The second filly we presented was Romance CR by Routinier out of the Oldenburg mare Frangipani. This was her first foal and she proved to be a great mother and produce outstanding offspring. Once again, the judges were wowed by a filly who has excellent conformation and movement. They loved her strong topline and feminine face as well as her elastic and balanced movement. Romance also received premium.

 Judges approached me several times after the inspection to tell me what a great showing I had and how nice the horses were that I presented.
