Two years in a row, Westfalen Horse Association Champion 2014 and
2015 - congratulations to Tiffany
Mahoney and her horse EhrenGold
HW - well done, so super proud of your accomplishments!
Hi Irene, I've been meaning to send you an update on our lovely boy Finley
(aka Fifty Shades HW), he continues to learn and improve all the
time, quality gaits and a wonderful mind can't ask for much more than
that!:) He had a very successful season in 2015, finished at the top of
every class in each show we entered with scores to 78% with many 9s and
even 10s on the score sheet! We are now back in Florida getting ready
for the 2016 season and he's continuing to improve daily (did his first
line of 3 tempis the other day!) we are looking forward to many more
outings with this lovely boy!!
Huge congratulations - First time out, purchased sight unseen and
wins both his classes. Here is Fendi
HW, owned and loved by Carol
McPhee, who says: "People were coming up to me asking about him
and who is he out of. They asked about you and my experience. I couldn't
say enough.” shown by Lori
Flannigan Edinger, who’s smile couldn’t be any bigger. Well
done!

Now in the US and already collecting the blue ribbons and showing off
his talent at his first time out, congratulations to Sir
Niro HW and his owner, trainer and everybody who made it possible,
Heritage
Farms, Sir Niro HW (Sotto Voce') was a little superstar this weekend
at the Championships, in his first show. He did open classes winning at
training level with a pair of nearly two 75%'s and a 69% his first time
out at first level. He's beautiful but also with one of the absolute
best personalities.
September 25th, 2015:
OMG - they made it! Catherine
Reid feels ecstatic - wow, check this out: She and SkyWalker
HW are NWDC CHAMPION Intermediare I OPEN 2015!!!!
HUGE congratulations, what a beautiful and successful team!!!
SkyWalker HW was bred by Irene Hoeflich-Wiederhold / www.HWfarm.com and
is the full brother to Selten
HW (Horse Of the Year, 3 x Young Horse Champion and many more
titles)
Love this 5 year old! Lone Tree Adult Camp 2015. The baby is growing
up! Very happy with our Lone Tree camp experience this year.
HWfarm Produces Happy Horses and Clients Worldwide!
Happy customers and horses, are just some of the main goals for Irene
Hoeflich-Wiederhold of HWfarm. To find, or breed and raise these fancy
but vulnerable creatures, is not only a 24/7 job, it’s a lifestyle.
With every new young stallion and everything that’s trendy, US riders
often get their information via friends or the internet about an up and
coming stallion (also older stallions) and what they produce, but this
does not often mirror what the truth at the licensing and keurings
holds. It’s truly important, to have the right information, to know
what to breed and what to buy, to have the basic foundation to build on,
for a future, successful and rideable sport horse, that is supposed to
be fun for his rider. Also keep in mind, that “even professionals”
prefer a good brain and rideable horse, which only makes sense. We see a
new trend for the fancy, often "hotter" bloodlines being
introduced more and more into Germany to mix up the good old German
bloodlines and foundations. Take it with a grain of salt and a lot of
thought, that adding that kind of “fancy” also means, that the
average US rider, and even the average European rider, might not be able
to ride this kind of horse, let alone compete with it.
Clooney HW, black Westphalian
gelding, by Christ/Ferragamo,
born in 2012, standing approximately 167 cm or 16.1 hands.
Time will tell and people will learn that it is usually a good idea
to stick to the roots. There is nothing more proven and more reliable
than the good old German Warmblood. Whether it be Hanoverian, Rhineland,
Westphalian or Oldenburg, the old proven lines, with super strong mare
lines are usually the way to go. These mare lines are often not found on
the internet, thus hard to track for US riders, as the internet is not
nearly as common in Germany as it is in the US. Only a lot of footwork
like going to stallion shows, mare shows, foal shows, licensing,
keurings and more, as well as connections and the inside knowledge what
mares have produced in the past, including licensed stallions and other
successful offspring, can truly tell, what’s going on. Luckily for
HWfarm, we have the knowledge and team to keep us on our toes, always
informed and making smart decisions for the future, it’s also a main
ingredient of the many years of our success. With this knowledge, many
victories and new goals have been reached, making history and achieving
the near impossible, including but not limited to: 3 consecutive years
Young Horse Champion titles, Triple Crown and Horse of the Year title,
as well as many top ranking horses all over the world.
Fine Magic HW, bay Westphalian
gelding, by Fineliner/
Dimension
born in 2011, standing approximately 169 cm or 16.2 hands.
Our horses are selected or bred, with the strict goal to make their
future owner as happy as possible! Only when all criteria is fulfilled,
we will then put the time and effort into the prospect, putting in
several years of raising and training, with correct feed, turnout,
socialization, consistent and quality farrier work from foal age on, hot
walker, pasture time and more. It takes a village to raise a child, it
also takes a “village” to consistently produce/find and offer the
finest and most willing riding horses ever. HWfarm has a stellar
reputation with pages and pages of testimonials and newsflash sites, go
check them out and also check out the many sold pages, you might
recognize the one or other sold horse, his/her rider/trainer and/or
owner. With the success of HWfarm's program, it is a common occurrence
that horses usually sell site unseen! If you are looking for your next
dream horse, please contact Irene at Irene@HWfarm.com and she will be
happy to help.

Hi Irene, In his first show at first level last weekend he won the
championship, with scores in the 70`s. First
Romance HW was very calm & well behaved & got some wonderful
comments from the judges. The weather was very bad with storms, thunder
& lightning. I was so proud of him. He is doing very well. Someone at the
show asked me if he had a false tail, because it was so perfect! Dr. Shireen

Great picture, compliments of Mary
Richey and her snappy wisdom. Even though I forgot to incorporate
the stretchy circle in out first go around, we went back and completed
the movement for an "8". Also, Fin would like everyone to know
that butterflies that appear out of no where are quite spooky to me, mom
just giggled and ignored it.

Pretty pleased with Shortaroo's first try at I-1.. Some issues on the
centerline (hard for him to believe that we DO NOT always halt on the
centerline) And a few 1's instead on 2's Still, super feedback from Lilo
Fore and a respectable 64.4% and 2nd place!
Less mistakes (major OOPS in the 3's) today but RIDER needs to stay

June 18
Better late than never for a report on the rather warm (sweltering at
107 degrees on Friday) show at Rancho Murieta. Emily
Smith did a great job and did her first Second level with scores in
the high 60's and one 70 at First level. Way to go, Emily. My boys were
great! Elysian went in a full bridle in the show ring for the first
time. He showed Prix St Georges in an open class the first day and won
it with a 68%. He then went in his first CDI. He was wonderful in the
jog. Between Cyndi
Marchese and her wonderful grooming, my braids and Dirk Glitz's
handling we won the best turned out award! Never expected that! In the
test he was great and got 66% in his first CDI PSG. Very proud of how he
has grown up! Thanks to all who help, Cyndi at the shows keeping me and
the horses going, Katrin Glitz with lessons and Dirk for coming to help
at the show. Udo was good in the Grand Prix in the CDI and got a 66%. As
this was a 2* there was only that class for him so we did an open
Freestyle the next day and got a 71%. Ely did the Developing PSG test
and was tired, but got a 67%. A very good show. Now a little less
showing for a while. Mostly schooling and in September, Annual Show. The
only unhappy thing was after all of us getting home to our various barns
on Sat evening, Sunday morning brought some unhappiness. Barbra
Watkins got injured mounting Sunday morning and is still in the
hospital. We all hope she heals well and quickly.
What a great show for my students and for me this weekend at Gilroy
Gaits. Julia
Mitchell showed her new horse for the first time at Training level
and got all scores in the 60's and got a 68%! Way to go, Julia. Kate
Emmett-Wilder and Donna
Russo both did well in the Third level classes with scores in the
mid 60's. Donna also did well in Training level with one score of 70%!
Kate did great with Terra in Second level, winning the Dover medal class
on Friday and got a 69% yesterday. The rest of the ASH group did well,
too. My guys were great the second day! Elysian went in the Developing
Horse Qualifier and got a 69% average. I was very proud of him. He is
really growing up. Udo did a really good freestyle and finally showed
off his good piaffe in a test. He got a 74%. A really good weekend. When
I got home yesterday I was planning a nap and then a walk with Lilly.
Well, I slept in my clothes until midnight, then got up and got into bed
and slept until 7. Can't remember when I have slept 14 hours! A good,
but tiring weekend.

This just happened, a blast from the past, update on Fifty Shades HW,
love my job:
Hi Irene, I thought I would take the time to send you an update on Fifty
Shades HW (now renamed Finley). I've had the privilege of being his
trainer. He has been a dream to train, wonderful trainability and
temperament, he's traveled all across the continent with us this past
year, from Florida, to British Columbia, back east to Quebec and back
again to Florida and handled everything like a champ, he's had a
fantastic season in Florida to date, winning all of his classes with
almost all scores in the 70s and as high as 76%, he's schooling most
third level work in training these days and showing great potential for
upper level collection, pirouettes, lateral work, extensions and
passage, he's greatly exceeded our expectations thus far and continues
to impress us all the time!!:)

HW Farms Horses Continue to Excel Worldwide!
Every year, U.S. breeder Irene Wiederhold of Horses Worldwide
(HWfarm) in Cape Coral, FL. uses her special touch to help every type of
rider, from amateurs to professionals, find that perfect partner to take
them to the top of their game! With so many satisfied clients, Irene is
fortunate to hear often from owners about the great successes and
accomplishments of the horses that she has carefully raised and
imported. HWfarm horses just keep collecting the ribbons, results and
victories to accomplish record breaking results. With so many to name,
it is without a doubt, that one of the biggest accomplishments was
achieved by three times Young Horse Champion Selten HW, bred in the
U.S., by HWfarm. Ridden by Anders Dahl, Selten HW was named HORSE OF THE
YEAR, in the battle of the unbeatables.
Selten HW pictured with breeder Irene
Hoeflich-Wiederhold Winner of the Markel/USEF National Six-Year-Old
Young Dressage Horse Championship (Photo Fire and Earth Photography)
A truly exciting event, the battle between Selten HW and World five-
and six-year-old Champion Woodlander Farouche was eagerly awaited, given
their status as two of the hottest young prospects in world dressage,
both being internationally undefeated in 2014, qualified for the Mount
St. John Future Elite Championship, Horse of the Year Show. Eight of
Britain’s emerging equine super stars, all aged seven to ten, came
together at the Elite Championship for an Intermediare-I freestyle
competition-come-battle, to decide who would become king or queen of the
youngsters.
When Selten HW entered the arena, he immediately commanded the
attention of the crowd and showed the Horse Of the Year Show audience,
why they had been unbeatable all season in 2014. Their music certainly
gave the feeling that they were going to war.
Dramatic, yet rhythmical, percussion combined with emotional string
and brass segments encapsulated the big black gelding perfectly, showing
he is a horse of sheer power. Scoring a jaw-dropping 79.20%, the
impressive duo took the lead away from the previous riders and stayed
undefeated all the way to the end.
Selten HW, might well be the only US bred horse to have achieved this
victory and to collected this title.
Many other HWfarm horses brought in the ribbons, victories, high
point awards, year end awards and more, way too many to name them all!
You can find out more about success stories of HWfarms horses reading
