Our AHS inspection site MPT champion is available!

Winfurst Whinnybell (Widmark x Blair/Beltano) is a truly special young lady, wise beyond her years and full to brimming with that trademark Widmark "game on" attitude. We absolutely adore this horse! Nicely under saddle with three lovely gaits, Whinny is doing everything a three-year-old should do. She hacks out with friends, rides indoors and out with no trouble, and free jumps like a champ! She has a lovely jump and all the confidence to go be an event horse, shows a truly promising future as a dressage prospect, or could even go be a hunter - this is a genuinely multi-talented, athletic young mare that anyone will be lucky to snap up. Whinny is delightfully forward and sensitive, and will appreciate a rider with an independent hand for now! Still, she has handled a couple of greener riders with grace and kindness. Everyone says it, but it's absolutely true in this case - this is a quality enough horse to suit a pro while being kind enough for an amateur in a good program to develop!

This is a really, truly wonderful youngster and we will be sorry to see her leave our barn! She is only available because her owner simply has too many horses.

We are having some mild technical difficulties getting inspection video uploaded, but send us a PM if you're interested and we will get it to you!

Here's a fun one - Dumark Don (Dubarry/Widmark) is a spectacularly charming four-year-old with an absolutely unbeatable mind. This is a horse of enormous quality, intelligence, and kindness - we've only had him for a week and we're completely in love! Don is truly a charmer, very well-broke and safe and absolutely bursting with potential. He has been ridden by several different people, most recently his amateur owner, and is just settling in to a dressage program. His gaits are wonderful, particularly his walk, and even with just a few rides here it's easy to feel the upper-level ability in him. He catches on to things incredibly quickly and is going to be a true joy to bring along! Do not miss this lovely horse - you will absolutely regret it! Don is something special. PM for more info!

We are proud to present on behalf of a client: Hello Princess SH, or "Shrimp" to her friends, is the coolest little pocket rocket around! This dynamite gal is brave, energetic, and athletic - everything you want in a serious dressage prospect or an all-around horse! Hacking out is a breeze; Shrimp is confident and settled, "game on" without getting over-excited if you pick up the canter. She has been to some schooling shows at Intro and Training levels and been an absolute champ, as well as completing her Mare Performance Test and becoming a Hanoverian Premium Mare candidate last year. With a good jump and three lovely gaits, and standing at a delightful 15.3, this is a multi-talented young lady who will happily go in any direction. We cannot say enough good things about this mare and can't wait to see her thrive with the perfect new owner! PM for more info!

Thank you, everyone, for an incredible inspection yesterday! It absolutely takes a village, and ours is a truly wonderful one.

Four lovely young mares completed their Mare Performance Tests!

Winfurst Whinnybell (Widmark x Blair/Beltano), owned and bred by Cindy Kidd, DVM, was the Champion MPT. She is an incredibly cool and talented young horse, and it showed! It was a little bit extra special this year to see another in a long line of Widmark daughters excel. πŸ’• Whinny is now a Hanoverian Premium Mare Candidate.

Top inspection mare was Donna Rosalita SH (Danciano x Louisa/Londonderry), bred by Isabelle Zweigler-Brown and David C. Brown and owned by Laurie A. Edwards. This exceptional horse was a true credit to herself and the breed!

Fuerstin Flight TF (Fuerst Rousseau x Redrobin/Rienzi), owned and bred by Sarah Randolph of Telos Farm Warmbloods, lay down a lovely test both in free jumping and the riding portion and, since she has already produced a foal, becomes a Hanoverian Premium Mare. Fuerst Duchess (Fabregas x Wicked Princess/Widmark), bred by Meg Williams and owned by Mary Troha, showed her quality in both the jump chute and under saddle as well, and becomes a Hanoverian Premium Mare Candidate. Fiorella EEC (First Dance x Winterlilie/Winterprinz), owned and bred by Elizabeth Gagliardi, completed her MPT and showed her class, composure, and bond with her owner in a new and exciting environment. Many thanks to the owners for presenting these lovely young mares!

Three Gold Medal Foals were awarded as well (two by Fabregas)!
- French Vanilla (Fabregas x Fara [Fuerst Belissaro/Widmark]), bred by Meg Williams, showed off like the champion we know he is!
- Dion (Denmark HTF x Hope's Diamond [Hotline/Widmark]), bred by Cindy Kidd, DVM, is part of Denmark HTF's first foal crop and was a credit to her sire! This super little filly is available - contact Cindy at Hickory Hill Hanoverian Farm, LLC with inquiries!
- Faberg's Frasch (Fabregas x Wroyal Grace/Widmark), bred by Marcie Scheskie, was yet another super example of the Fabregas/Widmark cross. This filly is super personable and also available - contact Marcie at Edelweiss Farm in Wisconsin with inquiries!

And a huge thank you to George P Walker III, who took the extra time to educate our spectators and staff with "Mare Conformation and Judging," a fun addition to the inspection. George is incredibly knowledgeable and did a great job explaining conformation and the "why" behind a lot of the scores.

We couldn't have asked for a better day! As always, be sure to follow our fabulous inspection photographer Photography by KRae for updates on your photos!

This morning was made extra sweet and a bit poignant with the arrival of this charming little Widmark. He's already full of his dad's vim and vigor, and too precious for words!

Big thank you to the grand lady herself, Princess, who delivers - literally and figuratively - year after year. πŸ’•

Breeding, Raising, Training, and Competing Outstanding Hanoverians

Located on two hundred rolling acres in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, the farm is dedicated to breeding and training Hanoverian sport horses for the dressage arena.

Special attention is given to selecting horses for movement and conformation with particular emphasis on rideability and temperament. Matching the best European bloodlines to select American bloodstock, the farms’ breeding program seeks to produce the next generation of sport horses to appeal to the amateur and professional competitor alike.

The training philosophy of the farm is simple: provide a solid foundation for the young horse in order to prepare them for dressage competition into the upper levels. Every care is taken to correctly start the young horse under saddle in order to provide the best experience for them as well as for their riders. They enjoy varied training including extensive hacking on the farm’s beautiful hills and free jumping, all of which imparts in them willingness and confidence. Though we specialize in youngsters, horses and riders of all levels benefit from the classical dressage and cross-training opportunities available here. Meg’s teaching gets nothing but rave reviews, and she has developed several horses from first rides to Grand Prix.

Owner/Trainer Meg Williams has decades of experience starting young horses, and training them along. She is also a USDF Gold Medalist. Oakwood Farms is a leading American Hanoverian breeding farm, standing the imported Elite Hanoverian stallion Widmark. Imported stallion Fabregas arrives at the farm this spring as well and will stand stud here, in addition to bringing Meg back to the show ring. The new year holds many opportunities and exciting possibilities for all of our horses and riders!
