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!

The good judge gave him a 72%!!!!

Thank you Irene Hoeflich-Wiederhold for breeding and trusting me with this gem, Satisfaction HW

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.

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.

Laura Graves Debuts Sensation HW at CDI. SenSation HW is owned by Carol and Scott McPhee:

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.
