Vhiognier ("Vinny") is under saddle and gaining confidence under his new rider, RSF trainer Jocelyn Kraenzle. He is very beautiful, has correct conformation and movement, and three super gaits. He is sired by the very highly regarded Vitalis and out of a super producing mare by Stedinger/Winterprinz- grand Prix talent in his pedigree. He was named Premium and Foal of Distinction at his foal inspection and under saddle, he is showing the promise his pedigree suggests.

Vhiognier-
PREMIUM and FOAL of DISTINCTION German
Oldenburg (GOV) 16.3 h coming four year old
gelding born 5/21/16 by Vitalis (Vivaldi/D-Day)
out of Elite Stute Shirlene
(Stedinger/Winterprinz). Vhiognier's sire, Vitalis was the first reserve champion of the
MRW stallion licensing in 2009. As a foal in Holland, Vitalis won
the Dutch Foal Championships. He had very high dressage
scores at his stallion test in 2010 in Warendorf— being the
highest scored stallion in the dressage phase with 129.7 points.
He did well in the Dutch championships and in the World
Dressage Championships for 5 year olds in 2012. He was sold to
an American who competed him at the US Dressage
Championships as a 6 year old, winning with a high margin and
scores of 10.0 for trot and 9.8 for canter. He is now owned by
Shockemohle Stables and is competed successfully up to
Intermediare I. Vhiognier's dam, Elite Stute Shirlene was designated an Elite
Stute (mare) by the GOV in 2015 on the basis of her outstanding
produce record. Shirlene was presented to the GOV on August 6,
2009. She was entered into their main mare book with a score of
7.16. She received 8's for the trot and general impression, and
neck- very high scores for the GOV. She is sired by the famous
Stedinger and out of a mare by Winterprinz, who achieved FEI
results being trained solely by his amateur owner rider. She was
a very successful broodmare at Rolling Stone Farm.
Vhiognier is beautiful, with
correct conformation and
very good movement in all
three gaits. He has a
good disposition with a willing
rideability.

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.
