Darling HW is a dark bay  Oldenburger gelding by Davignon II/Grand Ferdinand II, born in 2002 and is approximately 16.3 hands. 

IMPORTED,

now in ARKANSAS with FEI young horse class/Devon winner Amanda Baily

Darling HW can proudly look back on solid Hanoverian bloodlines with the famous Donnerhall, Pik Pube and Grande to name just a few. His sire  Davignon II is a modern stallion with a dark jacket and a glamorous face. His body type, ride ability, basic gaits , temperament and character are the most spectacular attributes of Davignon II. Darling HW’s grandfather  Donnerhall is well known for his high sport level and his excellent descendants - is surely the most important dressage stallion in the last years. The combination of Donnerhall with mares of Pik Bube - is nearly a  guarantee for horses with extra class and high talent. Davignon II is a very special stallion for breeders and a high talented sport horse, so Darling HW has all the ingredients for a successful carrier.

Darling HW may go all the way up the levels, be a star in FEI classes and draw attention to himself with his spectacular looks and movement. He has a very good work ethic combined with three very competitive gaits. His trot has a wonderful swinging quality that is not often found in horses this young. It is comfortable to sit, while remaining scopey and forward. He can pursue a dressage carrier, he jumps and would also be a good 3 day eventer. He is an energetic (but not hot), forward moving and fun horse for every day fun. Steady in the bit, with a phenomenal rhythm as well as balance and outstanding gaits will give you the feeling that you are sitting on clouds. He is really easy to sit because he swings through his whole body including the back and will not bounce you around in the saddle.

He is a solid First Level horse right now, training second level movements. He does turn on the haunches, walk/canter transitions, lateral work, started counter canter and much more. He is a fast learning sweetheart, and will soon be ready for second level as well as collecting his blue ribbons. His good hind leg may enable him to present sensational piaffe and passage work in the future. He was on lots and lots of trail rides with his owner in Germany , alone and in groups. He notices things but just keeps walking past the objects and continues to be a great partner and friend. His ability to detect and evaluate obstacles will help him on cross country courses if needed. He truly enyos being with people and bonds quickly. When he looks at you, your heart will melt. He stands for the farrier, baths, loads and travels like a star. Darling HW will most definitely fulfill your dreams!   

 Vet checked with super x-rays, perfect flexion tests!

*Update* 9/25/07
Darling went on another field trip today, this time to a
friend's indoor arena.  We caught some wonderful
moments...see pics below.

Updated pictures and videos from August 2007 in Arkansas ! On August 29th, Darling HW took a two hour trailer ride to Spring Mill Farm just outside of Memphis , TN. We knew that he had done some jumping over in Europe, but he was only been working on his dressage since coming to the US . He LOVED it! He went over everything he was asked to jump without hesitation or getting hyper. Click on the links below to see the videos:
