Skywalker HW
(6th at the 6yo Young Horse Championships 2012) & Sydney
HW's (just foaled to Totilas) full brother "Selten
HW" (3 x Young Horse Champion) owned by Elizabeth Ball, has
been selected to be part of the "Equine Elite Auction" held in
The Netherlands. All were bred by Irene Hoeflich-Wiederhold /
www.HWfarm.com Here is a recent picture of Selten
HW, now at PSG!
With a superior 8.67, he placed 2nd in his class at the
Bundeschampionat!
Mit 8,67 guter 2. Platz bei den Hengsten auf der Westfalenwoche/Handorf
2012.
Die Silbermedaille ging an den 2. Reservesieger der NRW-Körung, den
Quaterback-Fürst Piccolo-Sohn Quotenkönig aus der Zucht von
Frank Dahlhoff in Lippetal mit Lisa Neukäter im Sattel. "Ein Bild
von einem Mannsbild, dieser Hengst, ein Kraftprotz!", schwärmte
Dr. Plewa. Der imponierende Dunkelfuchs, der auf der Station Schult in
Hünxe deckt, erhielt die höchste Gebäudenote des Tages, eine 9,0.
Beim Trab gefiel die "natürliche Erhabenheit". Das Hinterbein
könnte in den Verstärkungen weiter unter den Schwerpunkt treten, aber
ansonsten hatte die Jury wenig zu bemängeln an Quotenkönigs Auftritt
im Trabe, 9,0.
Auch der Galopp "mit klar erkennbarer Schwebephase, bei stets
gleichbleibendem Rhythmus" bekam ein glattes "Sehr gut".
Den Schritt hätten die Richter sich etwas ergiebiger mit mehr Freiheit
aus der Schulter heraus gewünscht, 8,0. Eine 8,5 gab es im
Bereich Ausbildung. Die Anlehnung könnte etwas leichter sein, was Lisa
Neukäter mit einem wissenden Nicken bestätigte. Doch angesichts des
herrlichen Typs dieses Pferdes und der großen Konzentration, die der
Hengst während der Aufgabe an den Tag legte, lautete auch die letzte
Note 9,0.
Das bedeutete 52,50 Punkte, mit denen Quotenkönig im B-Finale
antreten musste, nur 0,5 mehr als sein Verfolger Stanford. Aber der
Quaterback-Sohn konnte den Abstand vergrößern. 18 Punkte erhielt er
von Kim Pfeiffer und Marcus Hermes, machte 70,50 Zähler in Summe und
den Titel des Vize-Champions. Damit konnte er an dem Zweitplatzierten
der Qualifikation vorbeiziehen.

We are so very proud, as the breeders of Skywalker
HW, read the following from Catherine, Skywalker
HW's owner:
Skywalker HW
in the 6yo Finals. We came 6th overall. I believe he was the 2nd or 3rd
highest placed US bred horse in the 6yo class. It was a great
experience!

Young Horse Championships 2012: Look, what Skywalker
HW and his mommy Catherine got! Love it!!!
August 20th, 2012
Amazing scores, just as expected. Leonardo
HW got the highest score at the show with 78% in a 4 year old class.
He gets at least 8's and 9's for his walk alone, every time.
Donatella
HW (same owner) scored a 9.5 in one of her tests and was high point
with 77%. There were cows and a rodeo going on close by, her owner tells
us, she piaffed all the way back to the barn!
Congratulations, so happy for the horses and their rider/owner. This
is amazing to follow and makes us very proud.
August 2012:
FiveStar HW
has been either 1st or 2nd place in all of his classes. Mostly firsts. I
believe the lowest score might be a 66 or 68%. He is normally above 70%.
We are so proud of him. I care for him daily. Now that our show
season is mostly over, we are concentrating on me riding him. I have
been riding an I1 schoolmaster and loving it. This has kept me in the
game while FiveStar HW is growing up.
He is happy, healthy and loved by everyone. I regularly get comments,
?how did you get so lucky?? ?how did you find such a nice horse?? I was
drawn to him and I put my faith in you. It certainly paid off and I feel
so fortunate to have my dream horse! Take care, Cynthia
August 2012:
Remember "Walk
on Top"? Sold him a while back, look how stunning he is! He's
in Australia. CDI now, successful at I1, won several championships and
he's much loved!!! Check out his sales/sold
page from "back then", he sure held up to all the buyers
and our expectations!
August 13th, 2012:
Another match made by HWfarm:
EhrenGold
HW was at his first show with his new mommy/owner Tiffany. They are
both super happy, two blue ribbons, first time out and absolutely
successful against big competition, what could be better?

really adore this horse!!!!"

Hi Irene-
Thought you might like this photo of Skywalker
HW from out last show. It was POURING rain during this test- I was
soaked to my skin after! LOL But I was happy with the 73.3% score at 3rd
level ;)
Catherine
June 2012.
Let's cheer on Catherine Reid, she did an awesome job with Skywalker
HW (bred by HWfarm). Very proud of their success, you go girl!!!
This is from her site:
Decided to post enter Skywalker
HW in the FEI Beaujolais Show.
We came 3rd in a VERY large mixed FEI YH test (4,5,6 yos were all
scored together in an FEI TOC class) Overall score of 7.8 :) I rode our
trot and lateral work like a ninny and held us back to a 7.8. We got our
best canter score-8.4! Despite as the judges said our flying changes
being "a work in progress" 8.0 for overall impression :)
June 2012:
HUGE congratulations to Amanda Bailey and her horse Faulkner
(purchased sight unseen as a 3yo, by Amanda, from www.HWfarm.com).
We are so happy and so proud of them. Here is a video from this
weekend and some comments from her: Quote - Amanda: Won the PSG Jackpot
class. The most money I have ever won. Three for three at the show.
Three wins for Faulkner.
Hi Irene,
Another update on Faulkner. We attended the St Louis Area Dressage
Society (SLADS) summer festival show this past weekend. Faulkner a star!
We rode in the PSG $2500 jackpot class in front of a crowd on Saturday
night. He won the class! There were a couple of small bobbles, but
overall he performed so well. He just keeps getting better and better.
Lilo Fore awarded him a 71%! The other judge wasn't quite as in love
with him. :) I'm including a couple of pics from the performance, they
were taken by Ivy Miller. There is no jacket because it was so hot and
coats were waived. Thank you again for finding this special, special
horse. Amanda
June 2012:
Another successful match, Weltino
HW was purchased sight unseen, check this happy pair out! Barb and

successful with your boy! Thank you for your trust!

Huge congratulations to Amanda Bailey and her debut at I-1, with her
horse Faulkner.
She had bought him sight unseen as a 3 year old and competed him up the
level ever since. He’s a family member and superb competition horse.
So happy this match was made.
Thank you Amanda for all your support through the years and hope you’ll
have much more success with this wonderful boy.
Here is what she had e-mailed:
I wanted to update you on Faulkner's
(Fridolin) progress up the levels. He debuted this month at I1, and
earned our first score towards our gold medal. It is a work in progress
as he tends to get ahead of me in the changes still and there are some
other spots that need ironing out, but he is so good and earnest in his
work. He has taken to the FEI movements like a duck takes to water. He
was made to dance!
The harder the work gets, the more he tries. He is such a gift. Thank
you again for finding him for me, I am forever grateful.
Warmest wishes, Amanda
May 22nd, 2012:
