Borghese MT
Westphalian, *2016
chestnut stallion
Breeder: August Exeler, Reine
Owner: Sissy Max-Theurer
Borghese MT is an eye-catcher - not only because of his funny markings on his face and his bright tail, but also because of his wonderful basic movement and his natural uphill tendency. He proved both in (international) series victories in tests for young horses. In 2023, he competed in his first advanced (S) level dressage classes, which he won at the first attempt and by a wide margin.
Borghese MT started his breeding career in 2018 as the celebrated first reserve winner of the Westphalian licensing in Münster-Handorf.
His sire, Baccardi, was a premium stallion and advanced to the Federal and Westphalian Riding Horse Championships as a three-year-old. As a five- and six-year-old, he placed in the dressage horse World Championships and Bundeschampionat finals. Under Maria Klementieva/RUS, Baccardi was successful in the international Small Tour as an eight-year-old. In addition to Borghese MT, he produced three other licensed sons.
The dam, Laura, is a full sister of the licensed stallion Lavaro, who won bronze in the Westphalian Championships as a four-year-old and placed in the international Small Tour for Spain.
The dam's sire, Laureus NRW, was the champion stallion at the 2001 NRW licensing. As a Warendorf state stud stallion, he successfully competed in international Grand Prix tests under Peter Borggreve. In third place in the pedigree comes the NRW state stud stallion Ferragamo.
His dam's sire Laureus NRW was the champion stallion at the NRW licensing in 2001. As a Warendorf state stud stallion, he was successful in international Grand Prix competitions under Peter Borggreve.
The NRW state stud stallion Ferragamo follows in third place in the pedigree.

Impressive and a real four-legged power bank, this is Dayman! We are still getting to know each other, but the feeling on him is simply super.
Dayman has a lot of talent for piaffe and passage and together we are getting better and better at playing off his many strengths with the necessary suppleness in the arena.
It may sound easy when you take over older horses with an advanced level of training. But here, too, you first have to feel out your partner and analyse exactly how you can come together - and what homework you have to do and, above all, how. But that's what makes the training so exciting.
I contested my first season together with Dayman in 2023 - and since then I've had some great Grand Prix series wins. Before that, he had already achieved victories and placings in the Grand Prix quadrangular with Sascha Schulz. He was brought into the sport by Jürgen Höfler, who rode Dayman to victory in the 2019 St. Georges in Rastede, but only showed him very little at shows overall.
Dayman, who is affectionately known as "Duck" in our stable, is bred in an interesting way, as his Hanoverian mare line of Galita has produced successful dressage as well as show jumping and eventing horses.
Dayman's dam, Favea, produced other dressage horses and is herself a half-sister to Daiquiri VS (by Desperados), who is licensed and successful in dressage up to medium (M**) level. Out of her half-sister Pia Zadora (by Pluspunkt) come the internationally successful show jumpers For You (by Forrester), Copido (by Co-Polit) and Chapoclap (by Contendro I).
Élysée GV
Westphalian, *2015
Bay mare
Breeder: Gestüt Vorwerk/Elisabeth Max-Theurer
Owner: Gestüt Vorwerk/Elisabeth Max-Theurer
Élysée GV is a very charming mare who I haven't shown much at shows yet, but who has a lot of potential: The future looks bright.
She went to her first show ever with me in Darmstadt-Kranichstein in February 2023 and took an excellent second place in the advanced (S*) level dressage test with over 70 percent. In July, we secured fourth place in the S* test at the same venue and were able to repeat this success in Liederbach in September.
At our season debut in Darmstadt-Kranichstein in February 2024, the time had come: we won the advanced (S*) level dressage test on curb bit with just under 72% in a remarkable field, which made me incredibly proud.
Élysée GV is a daughter of Escolar out of the Verb.Pr.St. O La La (by Sandro Hit). Her dam Orchidee is a half-sister to the main sire Fidertanz. She was born in 2015 at Sissy Max-Theurer's Vorwerk stud and is also owned by her.

Estelle
Westphalian, *2014
Bay mare
Breeder: Heinrich Ramsbrock
Owner: Gestüt Gut Neuenhof KG
Estelle is an exceptional mare - I immediately agree with this assessment by her trainer Hubertus Schmidt - even though I haven't had this powerful daughter of Escolar under saddle for very long. We hit it off straight away when I was able to try her out after Hubertus left the sport.
The ten-year-old daughter of Die Escolar has been used very gently in sport so far, making her show debut in spring 2021 in Hagen at the Horses and Dreams in advanced (S) level - and with great success: she immediately finished fifth in the qualifier for the Nuremberg Burg Pokal. The first international success was not long in coming.
In 2021, she won the international Prix St. Georges in Ludwigsburg under Hubertus and took second place in the Prix St. Georges at their last joint appearance at the Pferd International in Müchen-Riem in May 2022. In her few starts in the arena, Estelle has already secured victories and placings up to Intermediaire I. I am looking forward to a future together with this exceptional and talented mare.
Estelle was awarded the title of "Elite Mare" at the Westphalian Studbook mare show at a young age. She was bred by Heinrich Ramsbrock and her dam Wynona (by Weltmeyer) also produced the stallion Gavi, born in 2015 and successful up to medium (M*) level dressage, who is by Goldberg. Estelle goes back to the Hanoverian line of Longola.

First Romance
Württemberger, * 2010
Bay gelding
Breeder: Carolin Weber, Pfinztal-Berghausen
Owner: BG Gabriele Kippert and Eva-Maria Mann
"A dream horse, a world horse," enthused Christoph Hess in his commentary on our 2018 victory in the Nuremberg Burg Cup Final in Frankfurt. And I have to agree with him, because "Roman" is unbelievably talented for our sport - and has already proven this great with his victories in youngster Grand Prix competitions and third place in the Louisdor Prize Final of Kronberg.
Our journey together started in 2015 with victories up to internationally announced elementary (L) level dressage tests for young horses and the qualification for the Federal Championship. In 2016 we continued our series in the medium (M) level class, qualified again for Warendorf and recommended ourselves for the World Breeding Championships for Young Dressage Horses. First Romance was seriously injured during a jump from the paddock and had to take a one and a half year break.
Only at the beginning of the 2018 season did he return - and that with a victory in his first advanced (S) level dressage and the Burg-Pokal qualification in Mannheim. We went on to the Schindlhof in Fritzens/AUT, where we won the international Small Tour. At the CHIO Aachen we were also in front at the St. Georges and at the Blue Hors Stud in Randbøl/DEN we won with more than 75 percent. The crowning end of the year was the victory in the final of the Nürnberger Burg Pokal in Frankfurt!
In the meantime, "Roman" has been victorious several times at the Grand Prix level. In 2022 he won in Wiesbaden, at the Schindlhof and in Münster. We started the year 2023 with two second places in the Grand Prix and in the Grand Prix Freestyle (the second international freestyle ever) in Fontainebleau/FRA - with 82.250 percent!
His sire is the main premium winner Fürst Romancier, who finished fourth at the Dressage World Championships and the Federal Championships respectively, and also produced numerous top horses, such as the European Youth Championship succesful Fürst Levantino. He won team silver at the Junior European Championships in 2018 and bronze at the Junior European Championships after placing first in the final of the Burg Cup in 2017.
His dam Donna Rubina, who also competed in sport, is the dam of two M-level dressage horses.
The dam-sire Day Dream has been able to place in dressage up to Grand Prix level.
The dam-dam-sire is the rideability-sire Rubinstein, who was highly successful in international Grand Prix competitions in the 1990s.
Under Pieter van der Raadt, First Romance won the 2014 State Championship in Tübingen, was South German Vice Champion in Nördlingen and last but not least fourth at the Federal Championship of four-year-old stallions.
Karlijn V.
KWPN, *2015
Bay, mare
Breeder: J.W.M. Verkuylen
Owner: BG Gabriele Kippert u. Eva-Maria Mann
Karlijn V. is a joint project of Hannah and me - and she is a real riding dream.
In 2019, the daughter of Adelinde Cornelissen's European Championship stallion Governor out of a mare by Juventus, who is also a half-sister to the European Youth Championship horse Uvender V. (by Krack C), came to our stable - thanks to my two patrons Gabi Kippert and Eva-Maria Mann.
Preferably Hannah then presented her very dosed and very successfully in dressage tests for young horses. I had the pleasure in Mainz-Bretzenheim, where Karlijn V. won the medium (M) level dressage horses with a score of 8.8. All feature scores were between 8.5 and 9.0.
In 2022 the jump to the advanced class followed. In the 2023 season, she collected six advanced (S) level wins under Hannah - five of them in a row with scores of more than 73 percent in some cases. With this, Karlijn V. also played a considerable part in Hannah being awarded her Golden Riding Badge - which made me very proud. Hannah rides the horses so beautifully correct and works them so conscientiously that I can build super on her work. This is also the case with Karlijn V., who is already showing promising approaches to the lessons required in the Grand Prix class.

Brown, stallion
Breeder: Kristine Munch Nielsen
Owner: Maik Kanitzky
Maxi Kraft's Barcelo OLD
He is only eight years old, but with his victory at the Bundeschampionat and his brilliant entry into the advanced level, he is already a real celebrity: we are talking about Maxi Kraft's Barcelo. And even though his name prefix refers to the crane company of his owner Maik Kanitzky (incidentally the breeder of the famous stallion full brothers Sir Donnerhall I and II), it also fits Barcelo quite well, because he is a proverbial Maxi talent. Horses with such potential are rare and I am very happy about this young star.
Tessa Frank rode Maxi Kraft's Barcelo to fourth place at the 2021 Bundeschampionat for five-year-old dressage horses and to gold in the six-year-old class the following year. Afterwards, the licensed Bon Coeur son switched to me and immediately won gold at his advanced (S) level debut in Rüsselsheim with over 76 percent. He also won the next two advanced (S) level dressage classes - with a score of almost 78 percent. And at the Burg-Pokal-Quali in Darmstadt he took an excellent fourth place. In the meantime, he has won several times in the big arena.
A look at the pedigree of Maxi Kraft's Barcelo is also worthwhile, as he is half-brother to three stallions who are also licensed: the Grand Prix successful Atterupgaards Botticelli (by Benetton Dream)/Charlotte Jorst/DEN, the premium stallion Atterupgaards Seebach (by Sandro Hit) and Fassbinder (by Fürst Heinrich).
The dam Atterupgaards Dicte (by Caprimond) is - and now it gets exciting - full sister to Cathrine Laudrup Dufour's Grand Prix star Atterupgaards Cassidy. Four other half-siblings were successful up to Inter I.
The granddam Parodie is a full sister to the legendary mare Piroschka (by Pik Bube I), who produced the two licensed full brothers Davignon I and II.

Bundeschampion of the six year old dressage horses (Tessa Frank)
Salvina
Bavarian, * 2013
Dark bay mare
Breeder: Konrad Klein, Oberscheinfeld
Owner: Gestüt Fohlenhof, Prof. Dr. Bernd Heicke, Hassloch
Salvina could be Sammy's sister: a paint-black, picture-perfect uphill horse. Great trot, very nice side gaits, clearing canter and always with hind leg "motor". She was purchased at auction by the Professor Heicke family as a foal.
She has now been with us since mid-2018 and is the horse of our rider Hannah Milena Rother's heart. Under her, Salvina made her debut victoriously in tests for young dressage horses and also proved her strong nerves during our lesson at EQUITANA 2019 in Essen. The pair placed in the 2019 Bundeschampionat Final for six-year-old dressage horses and achieved their first victories in the advanced class in 2020 - also on the international stage.
In 2021 I took over Salvina from Hannah and immediately placed third with her in the Burg-Pokal Qualifier in Kronberg (71.854 percent). Currently we are successful in the three-star class.
Salvina's sire Genesis is descended from the Trakehner trademark stallion Gribaldi and is trained up to the advanced class.
Salvina's half brother Del Campo (by Dr.Doolittle) was approved for breeding in Southern Germany in 2011.
The dam's sire is the successful Grand Prix stallion and third in the WBFSH ranking of the best dressage sires, Rubin-Royal OLD, who is also the sire of Fohlenhof's Rock'n Rose.
The granddam Sarah produced several medium (M) level dressage horses as well as the successful Royal Diamond son Royal Harry in advanced (S) level dressage.
Rothenburg J, following in third place in the pedigree, was able to assert himself in medium (M) level show jumping competitions as well as in medium (M) level dressage competitions.
Showtime FRH
Hanoverian, * 2006
Dark brown gelding
Breeder: Heinrich Wecke, Stadthagen
Owner: BG Gabriele Kippert u. Eva-Maria Mann
Showtime FRH or “Showi”, as we call it, is the neighbor of Forward Looking at Gestüt St. Stephan. I would describe his character as positively shy. He has almost limitless possibilities and really does everything for his rider. He is always motivated, wants to do everything right and learns very quickly.
Showtime FRH was brought into the sport by Bernd Gebhardt and joined us at the age of four, whereby my rider Kim Arjes first rode him to victories in A-level dressage horse tests.
2011 Showtime was placed seventh in dressage horses world championships and ranked eleventh in national championships finals, after rank three in qualification. As a six years-old, following victories in medium-level dressage tests, he was again qualified for the finals in Warendorf and took sixth place.
2013 Showtime FRH won the qualification for Nürnberger Burg-Pokal in Neu-Anspach and ranked fifth in Frankfurt finals, after victory in opening competition.
In 2015 his breakthrough in the Grand Prix class started with a very special highlight: our victory in the Grand Prix Special at Munich Indoors with more than 80 percent. In December 2015 Showtime FRH was nominated for the national team.
And then everything happened very quickly. In 2016, Showtime FRH won the Grand Prix Freestyle in Munich with 84.30 percent, took gold at the DM in Balve, was called up for the Olympic selection, won the Aachen Nations' Cup and represented Germany at the Olympic Games in Rio/BRA. There we secured team gold and finished sixth in the freestyle.
After an injury and a very careful reconstruction, Showi made a grand return in the arena. In Aachen 2019, he piaffed and, above all, passaged himself into a new dimension, came in a close second, and at the European Championships in Rotterdam/NED, in addition to team gold, he won his (and my) first individual (silver) championship medal. In the freestyle we even cracked the 90 percent mark!
After the Corona-related postponement of the Olympic Games and the win of DM double bronze, we were again called to the German team for Tokyo 2021. In 2022 Showi won the Grand Prix Special in Balve with a score of 83.686 percent: German Championship gold number three!
In 2023, he made a comeback in the arena with a fantastic double victory in the Wiesbaden Special Tour.
Top fit Showtime FRH was retired from the sport at the end of 2023 as part of the Frankfurt International Festhalle Riding Tournament.
Showtime FRH descends, like Sisters Act, from the Oldenburg Sandro Hit.
His dam Rosaria Alpina brought also at Hanoverian auction sold Humphrey (by Hotline) und Lanimed (by Lauries Crusador xx). With the dam-sire Rotspon the rideability -sire Rubinstein contributes the pedigree. Granddam Dolores is half-sister to Monique (by Matcho AA), who is dam of licensed Rock Brasiliano (by Riccione) and of medium level dressage horse Donar (by Donnerhall). In third and fourth generation there are Donnerhall and Pik Bube I.
Showtime is a member of the Hanoverian Sport Promotion Team and bears the additional name FRH.

This stallion keeps what his name promises: loosely translated, Vainqueur means "the winner". He brings a whole bundle of good qualities for our sport: just from his presence, his charm, his melting and of course his chocolate chestnut colour ... and of course his movement dynamics and his readiness to collect ....
At the moment we are still fine-tuning him, because Vainqeuer has not been under my saddle for very long. Hubertus Schmidt trained him and placed with him in the final of the Nürnberger Burg-Pokal when Vainqueur was only seven years old. After Hubertus' departure from the sport, the four-legged talent switched to me and in our first season we immediately won the Inter II in Munich with 73.579 percent and came second in the Grand Prix of the Louisdor Prize Qualifier. The result of our Inter II victory in Kronberg was over 74 percent. This was followed by victories in Zweibrücken, Zeutern and Aachen in 2024 - it can go on like this!
The licensed stallion Vainqueur, whose first offspring are off to a very promising start in sport, is a son of Vivaldi mated to the secured Hanoverian line of Sommerzeit. His dam Raissa also produced the Inter II horse Don Primo (by Dimaggio) and the two other dressage horses Shaolin MH (by Sezuan) and Bonito (by Belissimo M). With Rubioso N, World Champion and Lugano I, interesting performance guarantors follow in the maternal line.
