History
Gold Luck is by the legendary Grand Prix Dressage Stallion Grundstein, who was imported to the US in 1985 after siring 13 fully approved breeding stallions in Germany. He has been the leading sire in the FN rankings among stallions in the top 10% of their age group in both jumping and dressage since 1988. In 1995 Grundstein's dressage index was 178 and his jumping index was 142. Gold Luck’s dam, Annette by Abundance, scored 8.2 at her mare inspection. In 1995 his full sister Graphitti was the high score Hanoverian Mare at her inspection.

Performance

In 1995 Gold Luck was champion Stallion and Reserve Champion Mature Horse at the Royal Dressage Festival at Port Jervis, NY. In 1992 Gold Luck was Champion at First Level at Waterloo and at Grass Lakes, Michigan before Lyme’s disease ended his promising dressage career. The Lyme's disease has had no effect on his breeding, however, and he has stood to a full book of mares for many years with a very high conception rate. He is fully licensed and approved for breeding by the American Hanoverian Society, ISR/Oldenburg N.A. and the Oldenburg Horse Breeders' Society.

The oldest Gold Luck foals are now under saddle and winning kudos from international judges and trainers in the performance arenas around the country. Many other youngsters are delighting their owners with impressive wins in breed show competition.
