Ahbout Time “Timmy” Oldenburg GOV colt born April 15 by About You II out of Special Premium Shurreal (Sezuan/Royal Prince). Shurreal was USDF HOY Reserve Champion at 4th level in 2022. We (meaning Jim 😂) are still struggling to keep up with the mare while trotting in hand.
I think Timmy is really super behind with an uphill placed neck and my very favorite movement mechanics in front. He will be of moderate height at maturity.

Sire About You II demonstrated his outstanding talent at the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses in Ermelo in the Netherlands and came sixth in the final under his rider Mette Sejbejerg Jensen/DEN. The international jury awarded him a 9.2 for trot, an 8.5 each for walk, rideability and perspective and an 8.2 for canter. This resulted in a final score of 85.600 percent.
About you II was the 1.35 million top price at his breeder's farm auction in 2022. In Denmark, he impressed across the board in his 35-day test: with individual scores of up to 9.0 and an overall score of 812.0, he ranked sixth.

His sire, the Apache son AC-DC, started his career as the top price at his breeder's farm auction and has since placed up to Inter I. Six of his sons were licensed, including the About You II full brother About You I, who was sold to the Netherlands in 2020 for the spectacular top price of 1.65 million and can now boast serial victories in tests for young dressage horses, including two gold medals at the Westphalian Championships and placings at the Bundeschampionat. The AC-DC son Aringer has won up to advanced (S) level dressage competitions.

The two-time stallion dam Evita is also the dam of St.Pr.St. Dante's Smaragd (by Dante Weltino OLD), who placed at the German Mare Championships in Lienen and in the final ring of the Westphalian Elite Mare Show.

The second sire Estobar NRW was NRW Champion Stallion and was victorious up to Grand Prix level under Hubertus Schmidt. His offspring include the licensed Bundeschampions Equitaris and Escolar. The latter was a member of the German championship squad under Hubertus Schmidt/GER.

The granddam Priscilla was victorious in tests for young riding horses. She produced the licensed stallions Mein Märchenprinz (by Münchhausen), who went Grand Prix under Leonie Bramall/CAN, and Pour L'Amour (by Pentagon's Peron). Her son Farinelli (by Florestan I)/Markus Erkens/GER was also successful at Grand Prix level. Fürstenau (by Fürst Piccolo) took part in the European Junior Championships under Anna Comas Margarit/ESP. The daughter Fabrice (by Fürst Piccolo) produced the licensed stallion Adrenalin (by Apache) and the advanced (S) level dressage horse Eyecatcher (by Estobar NRW).

The sires Popcorn and Argwohn I follow in the pedigree.

Dam Special Premium Shurreal was the Reserve Champion USDF Horse of the Year at 4th level in 2022 with a 71.806% median score. In addition, she is a multiple breed show champion.
Shurreal is amazing in her movement, temperament and rideability with desirable bloodlines. At the GOV Mare Performance Test held at our farm on Oct. 21, 2017, she was the overall champion, high score free jump and high score under saddle with a final score of 8.05! Her scores included 9.0 rideability under the test rider, 8.5 free trot, walk under saddle, 8.0 free canter and canter under saddle, 7.5 free jump and trot under saddle. In her mare inspection, she received 8.5 trot, walk, and 8 on general impression and development. She was named a Special Premium Candidate. The birth of Ahbout Time gave her the Special Premium title.

Rolling Stone Farm

Warmblood breeder for 44 years. Owner of large Oldenburg (GOV) and Hanoverian breeding farm in eastern PA. Young, well started dressage horses and occasional hunter prospects always available. USDF Bronze, Silver, Gold, Sapphire, Ruby and Platinum Breeder of Distinction. I have produced 39 Elite Mares and Elite Mare Candidates, and 3 State Premium Mares for the Hanoverian Society, and 32 Special Premium mares and 17 Verbands Premium mares, 191 Premium Foals and 48 Foals of Distinction for the German Oldenburg Verband. I have produced 9 licensed stallions, including the fully licensed and approved stallion named Shakespeare RSF (winner of the 2009 70 day stallion test), a licensed stallion named Somer Hit, 3 licensed stallions in 2012 (one from the first foal crop of Shakespeare RSF- Shotgun, also Dheputy and a stallion in Germany), Fhitzgerald and Sir James (both imported from Germany and successfully completed the 70 day stallion test here in the US), another licensed stallion in 2014 named Shavane- the second licensed Shakespeare RSF son who is out of homebred EM Rheporter (Royal Prince/Weltmeyer). In 2015 another Shakespeare son was licensed- Shortstop, who was Grand Champion at a USDF breed show in 2015. I have bred four top 6 FEI Young Horse National Champions and multiple HOY winners in hand and in dressage, and four winners of the Young Hunters Under Saddle at Hunter Devon. We stand Shakespeare RSF (Sandro Hit/Arrian). I estimate I have bred about 450 foals to date, and I also sell young stock and up to 20-25 riding horses a year. Some of my horses are fourth and fifth generation from my own breeding program. I started out in hunters and jumpers and then rode dressage up to the PSG level, not competing much due to family and farm commitments. I finally received her USDF Bronze and Silver medals in 2018. My homebred Hanoverians and Oldenburgs have been top ten in national dressage rankings and have won many under saddle and in hand classes at many shows such as Dressage at Devon (Grand Champion 2011 and Reserve Grand Champion 2021), NEDA (Grand Champion 2021 and 2022) and the hunter show at Devon. I have produced numerous champions and reserve champions at many in hand shows and has been in the top 8 ranking for USDF Dressage Breeder of the Year since 2013, leading that category in 2020 and 2022. I was the 2016 and 2018 USDF Dressage Sport Horse Breeding Breeder of the Year and have been in the top 16 since 2013. I have been the USEF Dressage Breeder of the Year every year 2014-2023 and was 2nd in that category from 2011-2013 and in 2022. In 2021 I was also the USEF Dressage Breeding Breeder of the Year and was in the top 4 for the USEF Dressage Sport Horse Breeder of the Year 2013- 2022. My greatest pleasure has been breeding suitable horses for the amateur market in the disciplines of dressage or hunter with an emphasis on rideability and movement.
