June 2012 Update
Congratulations to Megan and Rheindancer who came second out of a very strong class of 9 yearlings in the Sports Horse class at the Hertfordshire County Show. Apparently Rheindancer thoroughly enjoyed herself and loved all the attention! Photos below.
In August 2011 we took Rheindancer to the BEF futurity where she received the prestigious and highly sought after ELITE Premium Grade. We are so thrilled with this result and even more pleased with her superb attitude and temperament. She was an angel to bath, plait and load and then when she got the"party" she thoroughly enjoyed herself in the arena! She was impeccably behaved at all times and we are so proud of her.
Rheindancer received the following marks to gain her ELITE Grade:
Vet Score - 9
Frame & Build for Dressage - 9.25 - Rectangular, well proportioned, modern elegant filly
Walk - 8.75 - Fluent walk, Good use of body, good swing in loins
Trot - 9 - very uphill & expressive, good articulation
Athleticism & Canter - 18 out of 20 - very balanced & athletic, good hind leg split and ground cover
Attitude - 9 - Good expression

Sire - Sarkozy
With his grace and beauty Sarkozy won over the hearts of the crowd every time he entered the ring during the 2007 Oldenburg stallion approvals. With outstanding impulsion and a maximum degree of freedom in the shoulder – he redefines the meaning of “ground covering”. An athlete for the elite dressage sport: top qualities and a modern conformation.
Sarkozy completed his 30-day stallion performance test in Schlieckau with outstanding results becoming the Reserve Champion scoring 9.01 for his dressage. His huge paces were rewarded with excellent scores: canter 9.13, trot 8.69 and for his walk he received 9.5, which is very impressive. He received a score of 8.88 for both his rideability and his conformation. It would be no exaggeration to say that Sarkozy's walk is one of the most outstanding of all current German dressage stallions.
In 2009, Sarkozy was the resplendent Hanover Riding Horse Champion and celebrated Vice Bundeschampion. At the Bundeschampionat he was awarded 9.9 for all his basic paces and 9.5 for conformation.
The foals from his first crop are all exceptional and one of them was Reserve Champion Foal at the German Foal Championship. The 2010 Sarkozy crop also included many elite foals.In an incredible way Sarkozy combines two of the world’s most famous producers: Sandro Hit and Weltmeyer, both serial-producers of champions. Sandro Hit`s achievements as a sire can only be described as phenomenal comparative to his still rather young age – yet again producing two stunning winners of the national championships and two licensing champions in Verden and Vechta, numerous licensed sons and ten Bundeschampionate.
Weltmeyer can look back on an entire armada of national champions, licensing champions and international top-class horses such as the Olympic horses Weltall/Martin Schaudt and Wie Weltmeyer/Emma Hindle, the surprise of the World Equestrian Games in Aachen: Vincent/Bernadette Pujals, as well as Weltino/Ellen Schulten-Baumer and the bronze medallist of the prestigious Nürnberger Burgpokal, Weltmeyer Junior/Matthias Rath. In the third generation the state owned stallion Bogenschütze adds the valuable Bolero, who produced numerous elite horses such as Olympic and WEG participant Brentina/Debby Mc Donald, world championship participant Barclay/Carl Cuypers and more recently the fascinating national champion Benetton Dream.
Dam - Rheindayla
Rheindayla is a breathtaking black mare by Elite Stallion Hohenstein. She has superb type, conformation and movement. She has impeccable dressage breeding with four Elite dressage stallions in her direct pedigree and comes from 5 generations of State Premium mares. Dali was bred and graded in Germany where she achieved excellent marks and was also successful in dressage classes both in Germany and Holland. She is a very laid back mare and has the sweetest of temperaments which is so important for breeding.
Rheindayla produces Champion foals - quite literally! Her 2006 foal Larkshill Rheinking won Best Trakehner Yearling and went on to be the National Reserve Young Stock Champion. Her 2007 foal Larkshill Rheinzauber was the 2007 National Champion Colt of the TBF show. Larkshill Salvador graded ELITE and was the Reserve Champion at the BEF Futurity. Salvador scored an amazing 19 out of 20 for Athleticism, with exceptional comments about his canter, 9 for his walk and 9 for type and temperament. Salvador also received the prestigious Oldenburg foal Premium.
