Horse Show successes in 2020
It was a very successful year despite Covid with Jocelyn Kraenzle doing an amazing job with all of the horses. We had just one dressage breed show since most (including Dressage at Devon) were cancelled, but we were very successful with very good scores. We were also able to get some of the young horses out to schooling shows for exposure.

Special Premium Candidate Shelene  
 sire  Shavane      dam  Special Premium Rhaisonette 
Owned by:  
Shelene went to a schooling dressage show at the Horse Park of NJ on January 27, 2024. It was her first ever dressage schooling show, first time in a dressage ring, 2nd time ever off property, first time being ridden in warm up with other horses. She won both classes with scores of 82+%, and was the high score of the show. Shelene went in like a pro and moved like a dream. She was well behaved loading, unloading and standing on the trailer while the other horse was ridden. Jocelyn Kraenzle did such a super job riding these two baby horses so they would have a good experience.

Shelene did the German Oldenburg inspection and Mare Performance Test on August 17, 2023 at our farm. She received an overall score of 8 for her inspection. She did super in the mare performance test, too, receiving a score of 7.7875 on her mare test. She received 8.5 in rideability, 8's on free walk, walk under saddle, trot under saddle, and 7.5's on free trot, free canter, and canter under saddle. We put her through the free jump chute, since we had it set up for the Hanoverian inspection and she jumped confidently with a good form the very first times through. She is a really fun horse to ride, in a perfect size for a lady rider, and the rideability for an amateur to have fun on. New video 1-4-24:

She was well behaved loading, unloading and standing on the trailer while the other horse was ridden. Jocelyn Kraenzle did a super job riding these two so they would have a good experience.

Sassanach was presented to the German

Hanoverian Premium Mare Candidate Dhione  
 sire  D'Olympus (Don Olymbrio/Dancier)      dam  State Premium Fajana 
Owned by:   Maurine Swanson
A powerhouse under saddle- not tall so suited for a rider not wanting a big horse. She is a pocket pony! Dhione was inspected and mare performance tested
on September 7, 2023, where she was named a Premium Mare Candidate. Her scores for mare inspection included 8's for head, neck, foreleg, hindleg, conformation, and overall impression and
development. Her final score was a 7.5. Jumping is not her thing (6), but her Mare Performance Test scores included an 8 for canter, and 7.5 for walk, trot and rideability. Final score 7.05.

Owned by:   Maurine Swanson
Dhark Ruby is now a Hanoverian Premium Mare. She did the Hanoverian MPT in Germany on November 25, 2020 as a three year old. Her scores were 7-8-7 (trot-canter-walk) for the gaits and 7.5 and 8 for rideabilty, and 6, 6.5, and 7 for jumping! She also got the Hanoverian Premium Mare designation. Thank you to Joerg Clasen for the great care and to his rider Karoline for the super presentation under saddle. Dhark Ruby has a half sister by Millennium that competed at the 2019 Westphalian Elite Mare Show in Germany. Dhark Ruby's dam, Avantgarde is full sister to the dam of Bretton Woods and her granddam Alina (by Romancier) is dam of Annabel who is granddam of Le Formidable! Anabel is also dam of the popular imported Dutch stallion Gaudi (by Totilas) and she is the dam of Chagall (by Jazz). This is a super mare family.  read more Read More...

Dhiamont Pendant

Owned by:   Maurine Swanson
Dhiamond Pendant was named Dhiamont Pendant at her Mare inspection (German English crossed wires :-)) but the results were still good! She got 7 for trot 8 for canter, 7 for walk and 8,5 for riding and 9,5 from the test rider! For jumping she got 7.5 and 7 and 7.5 for jumping intelligence. She had a higher rideability score from the test rider than a MPT mare which is headed to the Young Horse Championships next week. She is registered Westphalian so ineligible for the Hanoverian award.
Thank you to Joerg Clasen for the great care and to his rider Karoline for the super presentation under saddle! I found out that Dhiamont Pendant has two licensed half brothers- Avicii by Apache who was Premium stallion at the 2014 Westphalian licensing and sold for $150K and a colt by Millennium who was licensed Deutschen Sportpferde in 2019. This is exciting news that validates my confidence in this mare's breeding value!  read more Read More...

more show updates- Sept 2020

Shiraz RSF and Ehlliot went to a schooling dressage show last Saturday, September 12, 2020. No lunging for Shiraz, just a few spins around for Ehlliot. Both loaded, unloaded and stood on the trailer quietly while the other horse was ridden. Neither horse had been in a ring with other horses, so the warmup ring was a real eye opener. Shiraz RSF: Training level test 1 64.808% with a few baby bobbles and a tough judge-2nd place. Training level test 2 70.862% (8 on gaits), 2nd place to a second level 7 year old that dropped down to show. Ehlliot: Training level test 1- 66.346%, first place. Training level test 2- 68.448%, third place behind Shiraz and the second level horse. Good boys and once again, super riding by Jocelyn! read more Read More...

Trying times in social distancing

In these days of social distancing, Rolling Stone Farm is still continuing to train our horses and prepare them to be your future riding horse. We had already entered some recognized dressage shows with some of our sales horses when the restrictions came about and of course we must now wait to see how things develop before knowing what will happen regarding showing. Two horses have recently found new happy owners, one of which will continue in full training until the horse can be shipped. We are happy to do this for any sale horse. I have represented horses honestly for the 41 years I have been breeding horses, and I will continue to do so during this strange and isolating time. You may not be able to make it personally to Rolling Stone Farm, but we would like to help you in any way possible to perhaps even make a decision via shopping online. I will get you everything you need to feel comfortable with your purchase and ensure it’s the best fit for you and the horse. Please ask if you would like additional video on horses you are interested in. We are willing to take extra video of such things as ground work, grooming, tacking, lunging, mounting, farrier, trotting on a hard surface down our barn aisle, etc. I can also arrange for a guest rider to come and try potential horses for you and give you their feedback. We have quite a few talented riders with skills in different disciplines in our immediate area. We are happy to accommodate your requests, whatever they may be. I love to talk with people so please call to inquire about sales horses. I try to match horse and rider based on our discussion. My cell is (610) 703-8268 I have sold horses sight unseen with great success in the past- mostly young horses, but a few that were under saddle. I am willing to try new ways to help you find your horse in these strange times. Stay safe and healthy meantime!  read more Read More...
