Fhendi- 3 y.o. 17 h German Oldenburg gelding

Fhendi- 3 y.o. 17 h German Oldenburg gelding by Fhitzgerald (Florencio/Weltmeyer) out of Elite Mare Acapella (Arrian/Pablo). Fhendi is a real powerhouse who shows, at an early age, an amazing ability to use his hindquarters and sit. He is very rideable, with a willing-to-please attitude. He has three very good gaits.
Fhendi's sire, Fhitzgerald is by the world champion, Florencio, who set standards with his scores of 9.5 and 9.8 (10 for canter two years in a
row!) at the 2004 & 2005 World Championships for Young Dressage Horses. He has since gone on to a very successful career in the FEI levels.
The damsire is Weltmeyer- a most famous Hanoverian producer of champions.
Fhitzgerald placed 5th overall (3rd in the jumping) at his 70 day stallion test in 2009. He was then competed successfully through third level,
receiving scores as high as 74%. He was Reserve Champion Region 1 2nd level Open in 2011.
Fhendi's dam, Elite Mare Acapella, is the dam of Shakespeare RSF, who was the clear Champion of his 70 Day Stallion Performance Test held in 2009 in Oklahoma. He achieved Class I status with a score of 130.53 points overall (this score reflects a five percent deduction for being over four years old). He also placed fifth for jumping with a final score of 105.31. In 2014, Shakespeare competed successfully at the Prix St. Georges and Intermediate I levels, with scores up to 73.9% and he was chosen to represent Germany at the Nations Cup in Wellington, FL.
In 2014, Shakespeare is 5th for USDF Horse of the Year for Intermediate I with a median score of 71.623%. It was his first year at that level.
In addition, EM Acapella's offspring include three Verband Premium/Elite mares, and a DAD Born in the USA Champion. It's not surprising though as her dam, EM Papagena won Young Horse Champion of DAD and has also produced some amazing performance offspring. This dam line has produced 5 approved stallions and EM Acapella's granddam is a full sister to Sherlock Holmes, a stallion that stood in Germany at Celle.

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.
