Hi Lynn and Bob,

Congratulations! You have a new St.Pr.St. (States Premium Stute/mare) in your breeding program!

I took the day off from my academic duties in Heidelberg to watch Wanja today. My dad and I just got back a minute ago from Standenbühl. Wanja passed her mare performance test, placing 5th of 40 mares. The Mare Performance Testing Jury agreed with Test Rider Hans Gunter Klein that your Wanja had the best rideability of all the mares. Her score was higher than another mare now competing at L level dressage. The jumping score of Wanja was lower than we expected but I think her postpartum stiffness will go away gradually.

Wanja is now back in Obermoschel for breeding to Heike Kemmer’s stallion, Don Laurie (Don Schufro x Lauries Crusader).

Your other two Obermoschel mares, Genovera and LaRochelle, are doing great. We expect your next two foals in the early weeks of June.

Talk to you soon.
Joachim
