"Ole" STER Gelding!

3-1/2 yrs, 16.1 hds (growing!)
Heinse x Rypke
Ole is simply an AMAZING young horse! He was raised with the utmost love and care. His trusting and affectionate personality clearly reflects that he never made a bad experience in his life. Ole has been prepared very carefully but targeted  for a career in the dressage arena. He was longlined and lunged to build a strong topline before he was started under saddle at age 3.



Today at age 3 1/2-4  we are amazed to see him exel in his balance in an astonishing way. Ole has developed a very strong and BEAUTIFUL TOPLINE, unique for his age! He is meanwhile already capable of schooling counter canter serpentines.

Please follow his development under saddle in the photos: he is first shown in his "babysteps" under saddle and then (in red rider's jacket) today.......His topline, frame  and overall strength have developed enormously!


Ole is ridden out on trails 2-3 times per week and he is a real trooper! He is meanwhile curiously heading a group of older horses and goes anywhere: street, steep mountain trails, brush, water etc. This is a young horse with the movement and the nerves to excel far in the competitive dressage arena, yet he is also a fun and reliable young trail partner! A tall young Friesian with a gorgeous head,  great mane, an impressive muscular topline and a heart of gold!



He is extremely well bred with unbroken Ster, Preferent, Model lines throughout his entire pedigree. Ole achieved his own STER title before he was even age 3, confirming his outstanding movement and conformation. A STER gelding for the discriminate buyer!

(alias Marcus)
5 yrs, 16.0-16.1 hds - 2nd level dressage including flying changes!
Marcus is truly a very unusual horse. At his young age he already has very impressive show records through 2nd level with consistent  scores of 63%-68%. He achieved those scores in open dressage competition against German Warmbloods, at large shows here in Southern California.



Marcus is currently schooling 3rd level dressage. He amazingly goes solid flying changes, easy to ride by anybody (!). Marcus has fairy-tale Friesian looks with app. 40+" of gorgeous mane and a very long forelock covering his beautiful head almost entirely. His personality is absolutely priceless. If there ever was a horse that could be called bomb-proof, Marcus would be it.



I have so far not found anything that bothers him. He is always calm and confident , also out on trails - ridden alone, or in the company of other horses. His x-rays are taken at the prestigious clinic of Alamo Pintada and they are 100% clean. Marcus is a very rare opportunity!



He is suited as a schoolmaster and true confidence builder but foremost he is an impressive future show prospect for the upper dressage levels! He is a once in a lifetime horse, that simply has it all!
