Hi Irene, I bought Sueño Hit (aka ShowMaster
HW), from you at Jennifer Williams' barn 2 years ago as a 4 yr old. He
really has been a dream, hence the name Sueño. > Anyway, I have shown
him a bit now, and wanted to give you an update. I showed him once as a 5
yr old at 1st level and scored 71 and 78%. He has shown this year at 2nd
level with scores of 69 - 74% and 3rd level with 69- 74%. I entered him in
the FEI 6 yr old tests and he has qualified for the Championships at
Lamplight with scores of 8.16 and 8.28. > I have been training him
playfully, and he keeps stepping up. He is a high energy guy that goes and
goes. He gets more energy with more work. He is sensible on the trail and
at shows. He has strong opinions when he learns something and I go and
change the rules, but once I clarify the "new deal" he is game
for working at that. > I wrote a little piece for Dressage Today's
"What I know Now" column about teaching him the changes. It was
a few months ago. > I am planning to go to Chicago if all continues to
go well. Just thought it was time I let you know he is developing nicely
and is a joy to own.
Thank you for such a lovely horse!!! Best regards,
Rachel Saavedra

Additional info: They did well in Chicago, congratulations to
their success, you rock, Rachel and Sueño Hit/ShowMaster HW!

Today I just took him in one flat hunter class besides the Costume one.
Unbelievably well behaved especially at his young age of 4. Next month he
is going to his first horse trial at Intro - really good level for young
horses.

September 17th, 2014:
The Westphalian newsletter had this nice article, about another match
made sight unseen, check it out:
Lisa Rush & Fine
Step HW
I started riding in my 30’s. My first horse was a Tennessee Walker
my husband purchased for me to trail ride around our acreage in rural
South Dakota. I knew nothing about horses, including how to put on a
saddle or bridle. I loved to watch dressage and see the partnership
between the horse and rider. I had heard of a trainer coming to a
facility about an hour from ours. One call to the owner and I was at the
next clinic to audit. The trainer was, Jana Wagner, from LaCygne, KS (7
hours south of us). I watched and knew it was for me. I talked to Jana
and asked her if she would give me lessons, she said yes. In 2002, I
took my first dressage lesson on my paint horse, Charlie, with Jana. I
have been riding dressage ever since. Living in South Dakota, it is very
difficult to get lessons or get to shows. After Jana stopped coming to
the Sioux Falls area. I started riding with Natalie Hamilton Hinnemann,
she had briefly moved to the area and started teaching at a local barn.
About a year later she moved to St. Cloud, MN (4 hours northeast). She
continued to come monthly sometimes bi-monthly for clinics. She would
also bring Kathleen Raine to her facility a few times a year and a small
group of us from SD would travel to MN to ride with her. Natalie helped
me over the past 10 years to get my Hanoverian, General BC, to I1. I
have high hopes we will get to the GP this year or next. Natalie
recently moved to CA to run her father-in-law, Jo Hinnemann’s, new
facility. She is planning to make periodic trips back to SD for clinics.
I have recently started riding with Lauren Smith from Colorado. She
comes monthly to Sioux City, IA (1 1?2 hours south of us) and the Sioux
Falls area. Living in the mid-west is our biggest challenge. We spend a
lot of time and expense to travel to shows and quality instruction. The
closest quality instruction for our area is about 4 hours northeast or 4
hours southwest. It is also very difficult to get instructors to come to
the area because we have trouble filling the clinics with our small
community of riders. There are about 6-10 riders that are committed to
the sport, want to improve and are able to financially support the
instruction. We have about 5 riders in the area that compete. The
closest show is in Mason City, IA 3 1/2 hours southeast. We travel 3-1/2
to 10 hours to compete in our region. The winters here are brutal and it
is difficult to keep the horses in full training all year around. I have
an indoor and outdoor arena on my acreage, but no heat. It makes riding
in the winter difficult. My cut off temp is about 10 degrees. Now about
Fine Step HW, or Fin. My daughters call him Finnegan McGee. He is out of
Florenciano/Merana. He is a beautiful 5 year old bay gelding with 4
white socks and a big white blaze. He is 16.1 and very handsome. He is
just a sweet boy and loves attention. He lives with my other 2 geldings
Charlie (paint and first show horse) and Gucci (General BC, Hanoverian
and current I1 horse). I purchased him last October and have been
spending this past year getting to know him and getting him out to
clinics and shows, just getting him used to the world around him. He is
a joy to ride and has lovely gaits. He has a great work ethic, learns
quickly, and is a great traveler. Biggest quirk: he hates cows.
Unfortunately, they live in the pasture next to him. He came from HW
Farms. I found him on their website and with advice from my trainer and
some research on my own, I made the decision to purchase him sight
unseen. Irene Hoeflich-Wiederhold from HW Farms was great to work with
and answered all of my questions. She made the purchase and delivery
from Germany quite easy. I have been showing him at Training Level this
summer, mainly just to get him out and about and see how he handles the
stress of traveling and going to the shows. He has done quite well so
far with his current median score 70.625. We will travel to our Region 4
Championships in September. I am planning a couple of classes at first
level before we finish this year. We are currently working on first and
second level and plan to show him again next year. As long as we are
both happy working and playing together, our end goal will be to get to
the Grand Prix someday.

The name Horses Worldwide, and the initials HW in front of multiple
world-class sport horse success stories, has become synonymous with
quality horse pairings. Whether it be stallions to mares, horses to
humans, Irene Hoeflich-Wiederhold has an instinct for making great
matches. German born Wiederhold began breeding in the USA in 2001, and
made history with the 2004 Hanoverian foal Selten
HW by Sandro
Hit she bred out of her own mare SPS
High Princess (Hohenstein/Donnerhall).
The young stallion began his career the way all HW foals begin, with
proper care, handling and training. Dressage at Devon 2006, was Selten
HW first time at a show: He was the Reserve Grand Champion of Dressage
at Devon, The USDF Breeders Champion for Colts and Geldings, Champion
Winner of his class: 2 year old Colts and Geldings, Best Born in the USA
and the High Point Hanoverian! The success continued with Selten HW
being called the 2007 Champion stallion of the Oldenburg inspection at
Scott Hassler (Hassler Dressage), with the highest score of the day, a
whopping 83%. With a 9 for canter, and an 8,5 for his trot. In 2010 he
made history being the first horse in the Markel/USEF National Young
Horse Championships to win the “Triple Crown” overall Young Horse
Champions as a four, five and six-year old. But that is only where his
historic moments began.

When Californian Elizabeth Ball sent her horse to Europe for more
training and showing, he sold at the Equine Elite Auction 2012. Still in
the history books today, Selten HW is the highest priced horse ever at
that auction, with Euro 500.000. Sold to Fiona Bigwood, Team member UK
and her husband Anders Dahl, Selten HW, the gelding born in Florida
continues to add accolades to his record. Selten HW continued his
journey, being internationally successful in Germany, then the UK and
Spain, he’s undefeated in the small tour and might be the most
successful international small tour horse of 2014.

Dantino
HW is currently offered for
sale through HW Farm
Selten HW is just one of the phenomenal horses bred and developed by
HWFarms, and just one of the many success stories that get added to
their website newsflash
page.
With an uncanny eye for horses, knowledge of the oldest and most
newest, trendy and/or influential bloodlines, Irene is able to stay on
top of the highly discriminating buyers requests and demands. With an
established reputation for the services she brings to her clients she
has gained the trust and confidence needed in what for many is the
largest purchase they will make in a lifetime. “We strive for all
horses to be the total package: looks, movement, temperament for the
amateur as well as for the professional, super fancy, but easy to ride
and successful in their future career. ”

Louboutin
HW is currently offered for
sale through HW Farm
“There is something close to a HWfarm fan club out there and the
numbers keep climbing, “ added Irene. “Many customers have purchased
multiple horses and are happy and love every single one of them. The
current record is by FOUR to the same person, conveniently purchased
sight unseen, most of the HWfarm horses sell just like that: Sight
unseen. As one of HWFarm customers wrote in her testimonial, “it’s
as easy to buy as on Amazon”.

Hi Irene,
Hope all is well with you. I just wanted to give you a short
update on Fritz
(aka FiderStep HW). > He has had a great year. I have shown him at
training and first level with scores in the high 60s and low 70s. Allen
Swafford, my trainer, recently showed at Dressage in the Rockies, Rising
Star, 6 year old class, in Parker, Colorado and received a score of 72+.
You can check out all the scores on centerlinescores.com.
He has been in clinics by Volker Brahamann, Andreas Hausberger and
Herwigg Radnetter (both of the Spanish Riding School in Vienna. The two
from Vienna particularly liked Fritz.
I am enjoying Fritz like no other horse I have owned, which is saying a
lot as I have owned maybe 20 sport horses in the last 20 years. He is
honest, hard working, trustworthy and to top all that, he is talented.
Every time we present him with a new task or expose him to something new
he takes it in and is ready for the next challenge.
Volker has suggested we don't spend much time at 2nd level as Fritz is
ready for his changes. Today Allen is riding him in a clinic with Herwigg
to work specifically on changes. I will get a video and send it to you or
post it on You Tube (if I can figure that out). So I hope he will be
showing 3rd level by the end of October.
At some point in the near future I would like to get another one just
like him. > Let's keep in touch.

Hey Irene, I hope all is well with you! I wanted to give you an update on Starlight
HW, the 2007 gelding I bought from you 4 years back. I'm the German
girl who bought a 3-year old off the internet to train to GP so you may
remember me for my boundless optimism ;). He's 17.1 (!) hands now but
still has the babyface he had as a three-year-old! I've gotten him up to
4th level and recently showed him under Linda Zang who scored us a 66%. He
has great talent for the Pi/Pa tour so it will be exciting to see what we
can work on this winter with him. I'm trying to get into the Ingrid Klimke
clinic this November as a rider so wish me luck! When he's not hard at
work, "Babyhorse" goes outside every day and hacks around the
property so he has a good life. I was interviewed at a recent show by the
Equine Journal and plugged you as his seller so you may see him in the
September issue. I've attached some pictures for you from our show the
other day - maybe you can share the update with his breeder back in
Germany. All the best, Kristin

victories, all with scores above 78 per cent and none below 74 per cent.
Selten was bred by Irene Hoeflich-Wiederhold (www.HWfarm.com)
of Cape Coral, Florida, a feat that Anders said he finds “amazing”
because of the difficulty of breeding top international performance
horses, and the United States is not known for doing so. He also says: “He’s
the best horse I’ve ever sat on, with so much power and capacity. He can
do everything."

So cute, Santiago HW
was purchased sight unseen and sold to Canada, just got this e-mail, love
it, congratulations - Shelley!
Hello, Irene.
I'm sorry it's taken so long for me to get back to you and give you an
update on Santiago but time does fly! I'm sending you a photo from the
Cornerstone National Dressage show last weekend where Santiago stole the
show as level one champion! His scores have been between 69 and 75 at the
last two shows and it's obviously time for him to jump up a few levels.
He's six now and we've been working on strengthening him for the more
advanced work that we'll be starting next winter. The shows are fun but I
love the schooling work we do between seasons. Santiago (or Sancho as we
call him in the barn) is a delight to work with. He's so smart and learns
so quickly that I have to pay attention that he doesn't figure me out
first! His attitude at the shows is amazingly mature for such a youngster
and he's frequently called upon to lead the advanced horses past scary
flags and loud speakers. Such a good boy. His personality is so fun and
just after this photo was taken, he took his first place and championship
ribbons and tossed them into the puddle in front of his door! I figure
they're his to play with as he chooses but I did dry them off and move
them out of reach...
Every day I feel so lucky to have found Sancho and can't imagine a
better partner for the years ahead. Onward and upward! Hope things are
well with you. All the best, Shelley Brown

Wilts and Gloucestershire STANDARD reports:
DRESSAGE UPDATE: Danish delight as Dahl dominates Hartpury Festival of
Dressage - Major winner – Anders Dahl with Selten
HW at the Hartpury International! THE Hartpury International Festival
of Dressage truly lived up to its billing as it was dominated by Anders
Dahl from Denmark who picked up an incredible four victories. The Dane who
is based at Horsham in West Sussex, took top spot in the FEI CDI Prix St
Georges, the CDI3* Dressage Deluxe FEI CDI Intermediate I and the Andrew
Bowens FEI CDI Intermediate I Freestyle on Selten HW as well as riding
Wie-Atlantico de Ymas into first place on the Gala Evening in the
Superflex FEI CDI3* Grand Prix freestyle. Unsurprisingly, Dahl described
Selten HW as ‘the most talented horse I have ever ridden’. His best
score of the week was 78.00 for his Sunday victory in the Andrew Bowens
Freestyle. Dahl and Selten HW had similarly swept the board in Barcelona
earlier this year winning all four classes. Record entries saw the hugely
successful Hartpury event attract 300 riders from 19 nations for five days
of outstanding dressage and para-dressage classes. And there was plenty
for home fans to cheer.

Sweet, sweet Fin - finfantastic (aka FineStep
HW) was at his first ever horse show, with his new owner, whom had
purchased him sight unseen. Multiple champion, reserve champion and blue
ribbons, what a great outcome. Congratulations to Lisa Rush and her new
boy, so happy this match is as expected. Well done. Here is, what she
wrote:
Hi Irene,
It was so great to finally get Fin out and down centerline. He did very
well all 3 days, he is a great traveler and didn't mind being in a stall
for the 4 days we were gone. I entered him in T3 the first day and he took
2nd place with a 70.2 and was Reserve Training Level Champion, Saturday we
rode T1 with 70.6 and a first place win, also T3 with a 68.4 and 2nd
place, he was AA Training Level Champion on Saturday too. Sunday it
started raining with no relief in sight, so we decided to ride T3 anyway
and see how that went, he got a 70.0 and won the class. He was again AA
Training Level Champion Sunday. We scratched our T1 class because of the
rain. He had already proved to be such a super boy, I was so happy with
him. He is qualified for Regionals in September.
Thank you for such a super horse. My oldest daughter surprised me
and came to the show to help out. She said Fin is the sweetest horse we
have ever had. She really bonded with him. He is a very affectionate boy.

Damon's Design HW
has his own blog by Olympic rider Nancy Smith. You can take part of his whole
journey by following this link, she already rode him twice now and she said the
following as I asked her for a testimonial:
I would love to give you a testimonial as soon as I can find the words to
describe how great this horse is. He is the total package: drop dead gorgeous to
look at, fantastic personality in the barn and riding him is a dream come true.
I have trained many horses in my career, but this one is so special. He is so
balanced by nature and his rideability makes it hard to believe he just turned
four years old. He is really a team player and wants to do the right thing and
he is amazingly mature for his age.
As if you don't know already, this horse is destined for great things and I
am so blessed to be the one to be his partner on the way there.

SWFDA Newsletter:
Robert Dover Young Rider Clinic
On January 2-6, 2014 Sunny
(Sandjour Hit, sold sight unseen, imported/sold by www.HWfarm.com) was entered
into the Robert Dover Young Rider clinic with popular young rider Jamie Pestana
riding him. Jamie was on the Gold Medal California team in 2013. The connection
was made graciously by Irene Wiederhold, who was responding to a Facebook
request by Adriana Lyle for a horse for her young rider to enter into this
clinic. I don't know why she thought of me, but can you imagine the honor and
excitement I have had. Sunny was a star and Jamie did a fantastic job. He and
Jamie were taught by Robert Dover, Debbie McDonald, Jan Ebeling and Shelley
Francis. I stood rail side the entire time. All four of them are former
Olympians. He was also schooled the day before the clinic by Adrienne Lyle with
my help (can you imagine). Several Naples friends and SWFDA members came to
watch: Caryl Thompson, Anne Ross, Kathryn Tout and Karen McCulley. You cannot
imagine how proud I was of my boy and also of Jamie, who did such a fabulous
job.

March 15th 2014:
Selten HW arrived in
Barcelona, Spain. He sure is an international horse and traveler. Born and
raised in Florida, some years in Maryland, then sunny California, from there to
Germany, the Netherlands, breaking all kinds of records on the way and then to
England. Now Spain, what a life. Same owners, only his 3rd owners in his
lifetime (first Irene Höflich-Wiederhold/owner/breeder, then Elizabeth Ball and
now and still owned by Fiona Bigwood) and he has already seen so much of the

Blue ribbon for Fabio HW
(he is FOR SALE) at 3rd level, what a good boy. He was a superstar at the show
and won his class with a huge margin against a big field of competitors. Fabio
HW is a stunning dream horse and the full package. If you are looking for the
"special one", he is it! He has amazing bloodlines combined with
exquisite looks and fancy movement.

Good morning Irene. I am down in sunny Florida working with my coach Jim Koford
and being grateful, once again, for my wonderful boy who is working so hard on
learning all the Grand Prix movements this year. His piaffe is really starting
to come together and I wanted to share this picture with you. Thank you again
and again for helping me find Faulkner
(aka Fridolin)! Amanda

Congratulations to Kyle, she competed her new, sight unseen purchased horse
for the first time, in sunny Wellington/Florida. Here is what she sent, so very
happy to see and read this, another great match:
Charming HW did
his first horse show at Global and got a 67.142% and 71.786% He was super brave,
they had a jumper show going on at the same time as the dressage so it was a lot
for a baby horse. Good pony!!

From Laura's site: Copyright HW and I had such an amazing lesson yesterday!
It was so awesome to feel the difference in his frame and collection and to feel
how effortless his half passes can be when ridden correctly! Thank you Angie
Taylor!
