The 2014 GOV Mare Inspection, Mare Performance Test and Stallion Licensing took place at Rolling Stone Farm on September 9, 2014. It was a big day for our horses with 5 mares being inspected and performance tested and two stallions being presented. Our judges were Katrin Burger, Deputy Breeding Director for the Verband der Zuchter des Oldenburger Pferdes in Vechta, Germany and Holly Simensen, director of the Oldenburg Horse Breeders Society in America. Thanks to our great team of employees and volunteers, the day went off without a hitch.
Rolling Stone Farm presented 5 mares for inspection and MPT. There were 8 mares in total. The
overall winner and winner of the free jumping ribbon was Shtiletto (Shakespeare RSF/EM Fhrance-Fabriano).

She received the Special
Premium mare title.
In third place was Fhlicka (Fuerst Romancier/EM Lhibrarian-Loerke) who received the Verbands Premium title.
Our other mares were Shtrapless (Shakespeare RSF/ Gold Luck)- 4th place,
Dholce (Dauphin/Loerke)- 5th place,
Fhila (Fhitzgerald/De Niro)- 6th place.
Our mares were all three year olds except Fhlicka, who was 4 (a stone abscess prevented her from doing the test last year). The other mares were 4 or 5 years old.
We presented two stallions (there were four presented) and the top stallion was Shavane (Shakespeare RSF/EM Rheporter-Royal Prince) who received full licensing.
He is really super under saddle, and Cara rode him well.
Shavane is Shakespeare RSF's second stallion to be licensed!
Licensed for 10 mares was MW Feinermark,(Fidertanz/Flemming) owned and imported by Maplewood Warmbloods. An Arabian was approved for breeding.
My other stallion, Ghucci (Gold Luck/Weltmeyer)
did not feel like himself under saddle, but the judges said he was their top pick after the free running and free jumping.
Of course, now he is going fabulously under saddle. He missed being licensed by 1/10 of a point. I am sending him to be trained for the jumper ring, which he loves to do.
Ghucci is out of EM Whispre who is the mother of EM Rheporter, Shavane's dam. It was a real family affair on the damline.
It was a busy and fun day with super guests and SUPER riding by Olivia and Cara. Good handling as always by Quinnten Alston and my staff of Dawn Coffey, Taylor Hoffman, my husband Jim, and videotaping by Sue Casale. Wanja Gerlach was the test rider. My buddy, Dennis Moore was the announcer. All of the super photos were taken by Stacy Lynne Wendkos of stacylynnephoto.com.
I have now bred 37 Elite Mares and Elite Mare Candidates for the American Hanoverian Society, 1 State Premium Mare for the German Hanoverian Society, 12 Special Premium Mares and 8 Verband Premium Mares for the GOV and 6 licensed stallions. I am a proud breeder!!!!
