June 2016
I am beyond excited and very proud to announce that Larkshill Scandalous has been awarded the Oldenburger Haupt Premium (formally State Premium) after a very successful performance test in Germany. Huge thanks goes to my good friend and rider Anne-Kathrin Pohlmeier for producing her and presenting her so well. For me it is very special as it is second generation breeding, I bred her mother Elite Pr St Larkshill Supremacy and Supremacy’s full brother Debonair – Oldenburg licensed stallion and Badminton young horse Champion. I bought her grandmother Elite & St Pr St Show Hit as a 3 year old and next year she will be hopefully having her 9th foal, this time by the sensational young stallion Revolution.
Sire Fürst Heinrich
Fürst Heinrich, a celebrated World Champion of five-year old dressage stallions in 2003, became a star sire within just a few years. He was awarded a Premium at the NRW Licensing in 2000, he then went on to become Champion of his Performance Test in Münster-Handorf. In 2002 he was a Main Premium winner at Oldenburg.
In his short breeding career ( as he sadly dies aged 7) he has produced well over 40 Licensed Stallions including many Premium stallions, Champions and Reserve Champions. At the 2004 Oldenburger Licensing, Fürst Heinrich was well represented with two sons, Van the Man and First Forez being awarded Champion and Reserve Champion respectively. The impressive list of State Premium mares sired by Fürst Heinrich is further evidence of the consistent quality being produced. The list includes Fantastica, Champion Mare of the 2005 Westphalen Elite Mare Show, Feh, 1d Premium Mare and Furstin, 1h Premium Mare, at the 2005 Rheinland Elite Mare Show. The Oldenburger Elite Mare Show in Rastede resulted in two Fürst Heinrich daughters finishing in the Brilliant Ring, 1f Premium for Gloriette and 1h Premium for Deotlinger Deern. Herzfurstin was awarded 1d Premium at the 2006 Rheinland-Pfalz-Saar Elite Mare Show, and Famagusta, 1j at the Rheinland Mare Show.
Fürst Heinrich delivered top priced auction foals from his first foal crop and in 2006 his son, Fürstenball ( who went on to sire the Champion Oldenburg Stallion 2012 from his first foal crop!) sold for the record price of 110,000 Euros at the Oldenburger Foal Auction. His first foal crops produced Champion foals at regional shows and a daughter won the German Foal Champion in 2003.
Perhaps his most successful daughter is Woodlander Farouche, who was the World Champion, of five-year old dressage horses in Verden and last year she also was the 6 year old World Champion too! Great news for British Breeding!
Dam Elite & Pr.St. Larkshill Supremacy
When she was born Supremacy was everything we dreamed of tall, elegant and powerful and she has matured into one of the most spectacular mares I have seen. She was the first filly we have kept as a future competition prospect and broodmare. She has more than earned her place at the stud, being awarded the prestigious Foal Premium by the Oldenburg Verband & receiving the Elite Award by the BEF.
In 2011 we sent Supremacy to Germany for Mare Grading and Performance testing. We are thrilled she was awarded a Premium! She is also the full sister to Oldenburg & BWBS licensed stallion Larkshill Debonair.
Her dam Elite & St.Pr.St. Show Hit is a truly sensational mare. She is a State Premium mare and is mother of Oldenburg Licensed Stallion Larkshill Debonair. She comes from three generations of State Premium mares. Her sire is the World Champion stallion Show Star who is one of Sandro Hit’s most successful young sons. Show Hit was awarded her State Premium title at the prestigious Elite mare show in Münster-Handorf where she competed against 80 mares selected from throughout Germany. She was awarded outstanding marks for her conformation, movement and type.
In 2008 Carl Hester named Show Hit the 2008 Reserve Champion Dressage Broodmare at the BEF Elite Championship Show. All her oldenburg foals have all been awarded the coveted Oldenburg Foal Premium. Show Hit is from one of the oldest and most successful dam lines in Westfalian breeding. From this mother line came the great stallions Grunhorn I, II and III and more recently, from her grand dam St.Pr.St. Fontaene came the very successful Sattelkorung winner, the Riccione son, Rittmeister. With a strong and convincing dam line of her own through Potsdam and Faschingsprinz the mother brings the best of old and new. Her sire Show Star is a Premium Stallion, he became vice Champion riding horse at the Oldenburg State Championships in Rastede as a 3 year old. He went on to be the Champion at the German Federal Bundeschampionate as a 3 year old scoring two times a 10 from the test riders & Vice Champion as a 4 year old. Sandro Hit of course needs no introduction - he is already writing sporting and breeding history!
Supremacy's sire the Elite stallion De Niro (by Donnerhall x Akzent II x Wiesenbaum xx) who last year topped the WBFSH Dressage Sire Ranking. In 2008 De Niro was named the Hanoverian Stallion of the year on the basis of his exceptional quality of his offspring and his influence on breeding.
De Niro is a legendary sire due to his outstanding movement, extremely high 'rideability' and beautiful type. De Niro was Reserve Champion Performance Test scoring 9s in all three gaits and was awarded the highest scores for 'rideability' (9,67).
