Red Hawk Ranch’s philosophy of breeding for generations shows the payback for patience in this charming, athletic youngster.

As a weanling colt, “Redhawk’s Don Sargaso” was awarded Premium, Foal of Distinction, and Stallion Prospect by the Verband inspectors representing the German breed association.  He went on to tie as the top colt in the 2009 inspection tour.

Redhawk’s Felicity

2008 Premium Oldenburg Mare

Sire:  Farewell III

DamSire:  D’Olympic

This two year old impresses her natural ability at such a young age.  The combination of D’Olympic on the bottom in this breeding has produced a very athletic horse with good hind leg and (with Farewell III) a natural inclination for uphill balance.  Super type with unusual strength and elegance showing at this age.

Redhawk’s Picoletta

First month under saddle:

picoletta6-2.JPG

2005 Premium Oldenburg Mare

Sire:  Pik’s Pride (Pik Noir x Barzoi)

Dam Sire: Rohdiamant

Spectacular mare just getting back to work after producing one of the top fillies from the 2009 German Oldenburg Verband Inspection Tour.

Super easy to work with.  Three very good gaits that were also given to her daughter.  Will move up the training scale quickly.  As trainer Jaclyn Meinen says, “This one’s a keeper.”

Now that Picoletta is under saddle, we are finding that she is a) Very beautiful, b) Very trainable, and (we especially like this) c) Very focused on her rider with a strong desire to please. 

From a very successful dam line (Mother, “Redhawk’s Royal Dream” has not only had success in the show ring, but has also produced nothing but PREMIUM German Oldenburg foals), Picoletta is very much a talent for the future.

Redhawk’s StPrSt Wanja

wanja1-2.JPG

1998 State Premium mare, imported from Germany 

Sire:  Wolkenstein

Dam Sire:  Rubinstein I

Purchased by Red Hawk Ranch 8 years ago from the familie Glasser in Obermoesal, German, “Wanja” was just being brought in from pasture to be started.  “Wanja” quickly went on to achieve Germany’s highest classification for mares after just two months under saddle, gaining the top score for rideability among 40 mares in her mare performance test. 

After producing three top quality foals, Red Hawk Ranch brought her home last Winter.  “Wanja” has proven herself to be a delightful horse to work with…willing, wanting to please, and super easy to ride.
