Shelley Brown posted the following: Santiago
HW Caledon Dressage year end champion AA Prix St. George, Int 1. Good boy,
Sancho.
November 2022:
Rough translation from the stallion station site:
Eleven HW champion of the the 50-day stallion test! This
youngster from our station also had his first public appearance in front of an
audience on the Breeders' Sunday in Warendorf. Eleven HW presented herself under
Annika with excellent movement dynamics and grew from lap to lap. Experienced
breeders immediately recognized what a talent this young lad has and used him in
his first breeding season. Since the blood of the Escamillo was in focus at the
licensing with other representatives and Eleven HW was not yet presented at the
time, we started the season calmly and without great expectations. In the middle
of the year, Steffi presented him at a tournament and the couple won right away.
This was a good basis for sending Eleven HW to the 50-day test. Surely nobody
there had him on their radar. However, when his test started, he made a lasting
impression on the experienced championship judges, which he confirmed through
the intermediate test up to the end of the 50-day test. On the last day, the son
of Escamillo still completed his rounds powerful and with a lot of dynamic, so
that he was able to finish the test as the champion with a remarkable score of
8.78. We are very happy about the development of this exceptional talent and are
sure that something very special is maturing here.
November 2022:
A super special event and result for Eleven HW, he was named
the champion of the 50 day 2022 stallion performance test in Adelheidsdorf:
He truly showed himself consistent and super willing
throughout the whole, long test. The judges gave him 6 x 9’s and 4 x 8.5’s,
for a phenomenal total of 8.78
Interior 9
Character 9
Willingness to work 9
Trot 9
Canter 9
Walk 8.5
Ride ability 8.5
Jumping 8.5
Overall impression 9
Ride ability test rider 8.5
Total: 8.78
A huge thank you to all whom made it possible, wow, just blown
away by this phenomenal result.

Just going to say this…WOW Satisfaction
HW (aka Rico)… What else can I say? 4/4 , ribbons in every class,
against super competition, this baby held his own amongst the big dogs.
He topped it off today in his third level freestyle, as the top open
score. I am happy to say that the future of dressage is GREAT, since
only the jr/young riders were able to beat him today!
Such a long list of people to thank for these opportunities, but
topping it is the world’s best sister, Keli
Ward- Harrelson. The pictures, the turnout, the day to day trials
and tribulations, and all the emotional support I have no right to
expect-all Keli
work.
Down centerline for the first time!! WEC is a lot to take in for a
young horse but he handled it like a champ. Huge thanks to Ivo
Jührend for his expertise riding and Jaron
Verheij for guiding the way! What a great team! Fantastic weekend
with great friends and a start to Bonfire’s journey in the show ring!
First score in the books a 71.5%.
Another huge thanks to all BonFire’s barn aunties and fans that
came to cheer him on! I’m pretty sure we had the biggest fan club of
the show for a ride! You guys are the best! Let the journey begin!!!

Graves and SenSation
HW, winning the USEF Intermediaire I Dressage National Championship.
SenSation HW
is a stunning and successful HW horse, raised by Irene Hoeflich-Wiederhold's
HWfarm and purchased sight unseen to the USA. After being imported, he
first claimed the title of Markel/USEF Young Horse Champion as a
five-year-old and six-year-old in 2018 and 2019, in the professional
hands of Michael Bragdell and Hilltop Farms before Laura
Graves took over the ride. At the end of 2019, SenSation
HW also won the USDF Third Level Open Championship.

First horse show of 2022 in the books! SuziQ (She’s

third level for the first time with confidence. Thanks to my village
that has helped me develop her so far! This weekend wouldn’t have been
possible without Claudia

dreams. Huge thanks to Dressage Days at Stockade for always running such
a fun, friendly, and professional show!
OCALA, Florida, April 15, 2022–Anna Marek riding Duvel in their
second CDI Small Tour competition won the World Equestrian Center 3*
Friday while Laura Graves
made her international debut on SenSation HW
for runner-up.
Anna of the nearby community of Dunnellon and the 14-year-old KWPN
gelding were awarded 73.088% for the win. It was only their second
international competition, the first a year ago.
Laura
of Geneva, Florida and the nine-year-old Westfalen gelding
scored 72.353% for second place. Laura
took over the ride on SenSation HW
two years ago after the horse was competed by Michael
Bragdell to
capture the U.S. championship at both five and six years of age.
Duvel was returning to competition after a year’s break because
Anna was pregnant.
She described Duvel as “a very sensitive horse, and he was scared
of some of the movements.”
But at this show, she said, “What was really fun is that he was
very relaxed but just got a little bit pumped up by the atmosphere. It
totally worked for him. Everything was really solid, and he was with me
the whole time. He got through a clean test. I know that when he does,
he can score very well.”
Laura
said she was impressed by SenSation
HW's first CDI and the horse
was “very impressed with the arena,” large and in front of the
imposing Equestrian Hotel with flags flapping in the breeze and a giant
video display.
“We didn’t get a chance to show in Wellington, but got a chance
to school,” she said. “This is certainly a lot more atmosphere than
the stadium in Wellington we’re used to.”
The duo need one more score to qualify for the U.S. Intermediate 1
Championship later this summer and then plans to move up to Intermediate
II.

Love this black pearl - so appreciative for his previous development
