Proud to say that we bred this mare.

The absolutely stunning 3yo Benchmark Bohemia (Bernstein/Secret) ✨I popped a clip up on my social media stories of her 10 days ago & was inundated with interest, & I’m thrilled to say she’s on her way to a wonderful home! A big thank you to her owners for trusting me to produce & sell Pumpkin 🧡 She has been one of the nicest 3yo’s I’ve sat on with a 20/10 rideability & work ethic 🦄

Wishing her new owners all the best for the future with this outstanding mare.

Yesterday the Hanoverian Horse Society of Australia came to Benchmark Hanoverians and so did the rain. Katy and Kaitlin our classifiers, managed to get very wet but they kept on smiling.
Despite torrential rain while the foals were being presented both foals made us proud.

Die dritte Auflage des FRH-Cups in Verden sah strahlende Sieger. Bon Courage und Thomas Schulze gingen mit der weiß-gelben Siegerschärpe auf die Ehrenrunde, gefolgt von Zuperman OLD mit Beatrice Hoffrogge und Manolo FRH mit Borja Carrascosa.

Wie in der Qualifikation sammelten der beeindruckende Bon Coeur/Vivaldi-Sohn Bon Courage aus der Zucht von Dr. Christine Feichtinger aus Liechtenstein und Thomas Schulze im Finale um den FRH-Cup die meisten Punkte. Vor sieben Jahren war der Dunkelfuchs an gleicher Stelle als Prämienhengst gefeiert worden. „Bon Courage lebt jeden Tag für seinen Reiter und wirft sein Herz für mich ins Viereck“, schwärmt Thomas Schulze.

Platz zwei ging an den Vincent Maranello/Destano-Sohn Zuperman OLD mit Beatrice Hoffrogge. Einer seiner Söhne gehört zum Lot der Verdener Hengstkörung. Die weiße Schleife für Platz drei zierte die Trense von Manolo FRH v. Morricone/Donnerhall (Z.: ZG Stritzke und Schellin, Hamburg) und Borja Carrascosa. Alle drei Pferde sind für das Finale des Nürnberger Burg-Pokals in Frankfurt qualifiziert.

🇬🇧 The third edition of the FRH Cup in Verden saw beaming winners. Bon Courage and Thomas Schulze took the lap of honor wearing the white and yellow winner's sash, followed by Zuperman OLD with Beatrice Hoffrogge and Manolo FRH with Borja Carrascosa.

As in the qualifiers, the impressive Bon Courage, son of Bon Coeur/Vivaldi, bred by Dr. Christine Feichtinger from Liechtenstein, and Thomas Schulze collected the most points in the FRH Cup final. Seven years ago, the liver chestnut was celebrated as a premium stallion at the same venue. “Bon Courage lives for his rider every day and puts his heart into the arena for me,” enthuses Thomas Schulze.

Second place went to Zuperman OLD, a son of Vincent Maranello/Destano, with Beatrice Hoffrogge. One of his sons is part of the Verden stallion licensing. The white ribbon for third place adorned the bridle of Manolo FRH by Morricone/Donnerhall (breeder: ZG Stritzke und Schellin, Hamburg) and Borja Carrascosa. All three horses have qualified for the final of the Nürnberger Burg-Pokal in Frankfurt.
