16.3 hand chestnut gelding, coming 4 years old. He is by Loerke and out of Elite Mare Fifth Avenue Q (by Wertherson/Aktuell). He is a super prospect for dressage or hunter. Under saddle, he is balanced and light, with suspension in his trot and a super attitude. He has an excellent canter and walk.
He has jumped small cross rails willingly and in good form. His pedigree speaks of success. Loerke stands here at RSF. Lexington's half sister by Weltbekkant named Wruffian Q received an inspection score of 7.66 and 7.33 on her MPT. Lexington's dam's sire Wertherson was foaled in Germany in 1983 and was 100 days tested at Adelheidsdorf in 1986. He was a son of the very popular Werther out of the States Premium mare Walesca by Waldhorn. Wertherson was a strikingly beautiful coppery chestnut stallion standing 16.3 hands. His sire Werther was awarded the first Hanoverian Stallion of the Year Award in Germany and because his FN rank for siring dressage, materiale, jumping and driving horses was at or near the top for nearly a decade, he earned the title of "Versatile Werther." Wertherson himself was an extremely successful FEI competitor, and in his last year of competition earned a median score of over 65% at Prix St. Georges and over 66% at Intermediare I. Wertherson has been recognized as a filly sire. He has to his credit numerous Elite Mares and many inspection site champion mares.
SOLD! Congrats to Bill Rube of Bucks County, PA on his purchase of Lexington Q. He will be shown in the hunter ring and we expect great things from him!
Show Results
11/16/07Hi Mo~
Well Goodie is amazing. I showed him today against all the pros in the Adequan division to see if I wanted to move up to the big leagues and do the 3'6" A/O's.
There were 17 pros and me. EVERYONE LOVES HIM! We got 2 6th's over jumps and won the under saddle. I had small mistakes, and against other amateurs I would have won.
So we're going try to qualify for Devon... keep your fingers crossed and if it all works out I hope you will be there!
I hope all is well,
Bill
PS Rhecipe is gorgeuos!
9/16/7 HI Mo~
I am starting to have the most amazing time on Goodie. He had very difficult shoes to fill for me, and bless his heart... he knew and knows it.
I showed him today at Woodedge Stables in Moorestown NJ. Our routine has changed drastically. Phoebe gets him to the show, flats him in the ring.. no jumping. When it's tome for us to perform... Phoebe warms him up and jumps him a couple of practice jumps. When they call me on deck... I get on... just go into the ring cold and do my course. Goodie is a saint. It is our 4th show together.
Today
1st class we were 3rd, deep to first jump.
2nd class we had a flawless round but had a rail due to deep footing.
3rd class... flawless again 1st
Under saddle 1st
and we were Champion 9 competed.
Looks like we may be together for quite some time! I am looking forward to Middleburg this friday.
Well, I decided to show More About Me yesterday. It was hot, and I was anxious as hell! I had only jumped this horse over single jumps and never an entire course...
My trainer Phoebe has done a great job with him, and if I wasn't so nervous I may have made it look smoother. As it was, we were pretty slick, did very well and I am sore as hell today.
I will have to ride more than once a month... I think I am too old for this. Goodie should be gold plated and sanctified! He tolerated a 50 year old man who has only ridden him a dozen times. He went into the show ring and went around like a trooper. He didn't bat an or put a foot wrong, and we were stars together. I was also the FIRST time I jumped a course on him ever!

3/17/07 Hi Mo,
I hope all is well with you and your brood. Goodie (aka Lexington) went to Old Salem Horse Show and was reserve champion doing the pre-green hunter division. He was 1st and 4th over the jumps, and 2nd in the hack. Everyone loved him.
Thanks again,
Bill
spring 2007- Bill tells me that Lexington (now known as More About Me a.k.a. Goody) has been winning all of his hack classes except one, where he was 6th. He went to Swan Lake Stavbles last weekend and even went in the ring for the first time to jump around the course and got a few 3rds and 4ths. He loves him!
