Dhockside- 16.2 hand coming three year old chestnut gelding. He is one of our homebreds out of Beatrix (Bruderherz/Lemon xx) and by Don Frederico. The elegant and impressive Don Frederico became Champion of the 1999 Hanoverian Stallion Licensing. This "eye-catcher" completed his stallion performance test as runner-up with the amazing score of 151.67 points in the dressage section.
He also constantly improved his qualities during test. He possesses excellent mental qualities. Don Frederico convinces by his excellent rideability and his very good basic gaits, which will impress all dressage riders. He is one of the most popular stallions available by frozen semen. Dhockside is well started and is showing us spectacular movement in all three gaits. His hock activity is unbelievably good, and he shows a free front end. His willingness to learn is amazing. As he strengthens and grows into his lanky body parts, we expect he will be amazing. Buy him now while he is still reasonably priced, or get beat by him in the show ring later.
SOLD! Owned by "S" dressage judge and FEI competitor, Robin Breuckmann of Summerfield, NC.

Dear Mo,
I have Rocky and Dhockside at Williamston this weekend. Rocky and Dhockside
are bonded firmly together, which is good and bad. Dhock is having a hard
time when Rocky leaves him. They stick together like glue in the field,
which they share with 13 other geldings (it's 40 acres).
Anyway, Dhockside ( with his wisdom of two field trips prior to this) was
quite good today. Unsteady in the contact but otherwise obedient and
pleasant to ride. He scored 66.250% for fifth place in a huge Training 3
class. He's now qualified for BLM's. I will do Training 3 again tomorrow,
my least favorite Training level test, but that's what I was able to get him
into.
Rocky won FEI freestyle, with 65.125%. He was very good too. Tomorrow is
INtermediare II. There are 7 GP/I-2 horses here.

Dhockside was humanely destroyed at the end of July. What a shame...
Dear Mo,
Dhock made the trip fine. He and Rocky spent the night out together again
before introducing him to the smaller herd on Thursday afternoon.
I took him for a trail ride with Rokcy, ponying him. He was fine. No
worries about the longhorns or crossing the creek. Yesterday I rode him in
the ring. He was looky and whinnied a lot but worked fine. He gets tired
very quickly; of course it was miserably hot, even at nine AM.
He will be shown at Dressage at Lexington the middle of July.
Thanks, Robin
