#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I have only ever posted pictures of my baby Galen but I do have 2 other horses who up until now did not have pictures on the computer for me to use!  Zooka is the grey 17.2 hh 16 year old mother of Galen and she is pregnant again.  Gideon is the 16.2 dark bay 17 year olf gelding who used to show Grand Prix dressage.  I have had both of them since they were 3 and of course Galen since she was born.  All of them are Hannoverians.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Hope you enjoy! #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Zooka not a great shot but you get the idea#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#IMG src="http://mylittlesite.woodyscreation.org/gallery/albums/userpics/normal_zooka1.jpg"#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Gideon getting ready at a show#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#IMG src="http://mylittlesite.woodyscreation.org/gallery/albums/userpics/normal_gidkid.jpg"#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#There is already a thread on Galen so I will leave her out of this one!!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#P#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2#ed_cl##ed_op#STRONG#ed_cl#Graf Götz#ed_op#/STRONG#ed_cl# is by Götz, who comes from the old foundation lines of Goldfisch II, who sired the exceptional Grand Prix jumper Gladstone, ridden by Hugo Simon, with whom he won the first Volvo World Cup in 1979. Gladstone and Hugo Simon were over a decade nearly invincible in the international Grand Prixs. The dam’s sire of Götz, the Thoroughbred stallion Adlerschild xx, is equally important. He is the dam’s sire of the most successful jumper in the world in the 1980’s, Deister, the three time European jumper champion, ridden by Paul Schöckemohle. They both won nearly every Grand Prix around the world. The Goldfisch II line has a tremendous influence in the international shows in dressage and jumping. Gigolo, the multiple winner of international dressage Grand Prixs, winner of the Olympic Gold Medals, is an offspring of this Hanoverian G-line. His sire Grenadier is by Grande, who traces back to the foundation sire Goldfisch II. #ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT size=2#ed_cl##ed_op#STRONG#ed_cl#Graf Götz’s#ed_op#/STRONG#ed_cl# dam’s sire is the Hanoverian stallion Wotan, who comes from a second important Hanoverian foundation stallion line, the F-line. Since Wotan was born in 1947, he is mostly only found in the third generations of approved stallions or sporhorses. He is the grandsire of stallions like Akteull, who sired very successful dressage horses and high-priced auction horses for the Hanoverian and Oldenburg Elite Auctions. He is the grandsire of Gutenberg, who sired the the international Grand Prix dressage horse Good Mood, ridden by Susan Dutta in international shows in Europe. He also is the grandsire of the exceptional stallion Raphael, by Ramiro, who sires international competitors for both disciplines. #ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT size=2#ed_cl##ed_op#STRONG#ed_cl#Graf Götz’s#ed_op#/STRONG#ed_cl# third generationof pedigree includes the stallions Ablegar, who is from the very old foundation line of the Thoroughbred stallion Adeptus xx, who sired the Hanoverian A-line. #ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Easter Zooka is at a private barn close to Navan and while I am in school Galen and Gideon are in Sudbury with my coach/ friend who has the time to take care of them that I don't....&nbsp; but i visit as often as I can.&nbsp; hehe I hope Gid did not scare you away he was quite the wild child in his younger years #ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys/Teasing/1.gif"#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#&nbsp;#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Shoal I did young rider and could do a great test until I actually competed... I freeze at shows and have since learned I am not good with competition.&nbsp; My then coach was the one who showed Grand Prix....&nbsp; but I love playing around with all the different moves on him!!!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
