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!

FINAL Markel/USEF National Young Horse Dressage Championships 2012: HUGE congratulations to Catherine Reid with Skywalker HW (bred by Irene Hoeflich-Wiederhold / www.HWfarm.com ) on her Young Horse Championship final 6th place in 2012, 6 year old class. We are so super proud and happy to have bred the 6th best 6yo in the US! Yay - Catherine, thank you so much and keep it up!!! Picture shows Catherine Reid's mom and Skywalker HW

This is so awesome! Skywalker HW, bred by Irene Hoeflich-Wiederhold / www.HWfarm.com - ridden and owned by Catherine Reid, check out this exciting certificate. Woohoo, another HW horse successful at the Young Horse Championships, again a top ranked United States bred horse! A huge thank you to Catherine!!!! You rock!!!!

Young Horse Championships 2012: Look, what Skywalker HW and his mommy Catherine got! Love it!!!

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.

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

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!

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?

Huge congratulations to them, she writes: "I 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

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 :)

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

Another successful match, Weltino HW was purchased sight unseen, check this happy pair out! Barb and her horse Weltino HW - with a blue ribbon, huge congratulations, so awesome and also thank you to Lyn Fonzo for helping to make this happen.

Congratulations again to Cricket Harvey, whom showed her Leonardo HW (purchased sight unseen) this weekend in horrendous weather and won her class. She reports that he is a blast and that they get lots and lots of compliments as they are such a great match. So happy for you Cricket!!! Love that you are successful with your boy! Thank you for your trust!

Huge congratulations to Catherine Reid, she is stepping in Selten HW's footsteps with a current victory in the 6 year old Young Horse Class this weekend with her SkyWalker HW.

SkyWalker HW is the full brother to Elizabeth Ball's Selten HW whom won the Young Horse Championships 3 years in a row. Both are bred by - Irene Höflich-Wiederhold, www.HWfarm.com

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

Second show in the US, huge congratulations again to Kim and Heather with FiveStar HW!

The boy scored “9” on gaits!!!

Fürstenstein

Champion Stallion in the German Oldenburger Verband 2012

Video of Fürstenstein from the stallion show 2012

Born 2009 - Height 168 cm

Champion Stallion at the Verband der Züchter des Oldenburger Pferdes' first saddle approval in Vechta 2012. Fürstenstein is a stallion with excellent basic gaits and high rideability. The sire, the Fürst Heinrich son, Fürst Romancier, sired both the Champion stallion at this approval as well as the Champion Stallion at the ordinary autumn approval. Fürstenstein's dam is the national premium mare, High Value, by the black Trakehner stallion Hohenstein and the Donnerhall mare Davina. The same combination which resulted in the gorgeous and lengendary His Highness. Further down in the pedigree, you will see the noble founder of the descent, Bolero.

Congratulations to Leonardo HW and his owner Cricket, he scored 71.8% at his first show in the US. What a great horse and happy owner, she actually bought three horses so far from us and loves every single one of them!
