Elite Mare Heiress is expecting a foal by Wild Dance for May, 2012.

Wild Dance was the winner of his 100-day stallion testing in Germany with over 140 points! Over 147 points in dressage/ridability. Although he is a fantastic mover, he also received a 9 on jumping. Wild Dance is by one of the best Weltmeyer sons, Wolkenstein II, out of a States Premium mare by Matcho AA. This bloodline combination has proven exceptional. Leoni Bramall and Hubertus Schmidt both publicly stated that Wild Dance has an exceptional temperament and willingness to work.

Wild Dance is nothing short of breathtaking. With elastic movement, natural balance and self-carriage, he is a dream. He placed fourth in the German National Championship as a young horse. His father, Wolkenstein II, was also the winner of his stallion performance testing and went on to sire 41 licensed sons.

Wild Dance who placed fourth in the Bundeschampionat as a youngster, has an impressive FEI show record. In 2005, with Hubertus Schmidt, he was the Reserve Champion at the 2005 Neurenberger BurgPokal Finals, a prestigious show circuit in Germany for seven to nine year dressage horses competing at Prix St. Georges. Wild Dance and rider Hubertus Schmidt had the highest qualifying scores, routinely scoring above 75%. After a $1.7 million sale Wild Dance sadly got injured slipping on ice which has kept him from furthering his Grand Prix career.

Due to his focus on performance in Germany and lack of breeding interest by his owners, Wild Dance did not keep a heavy breeding schedule, however, his offspring statistics are spectacular; of the only 24 foals registered as show horses, 10 had successes in the 2010 season. 3 were already successfully placing at S-level in 2010, a very high percentage by registered offspring. Wild Dance has produced several State Premium mares.

Donnalja Frederika is named Champion of her Mare Performance Test. She is also now an Elite Mare Candidate. She just needs to have a foal to complete the final requirement for the full Elite Mare title. Donnalja is expecting a foal by Benidetto in 2012. Foal offered for sale in-utero

Donnalja trained and ridden by Carrie Wilson of Wilson Sporthorses. Contact Carrie at 989-295-7187 for your young sport horse training needs.

Introducing Wroyal William HA, a stunning Weltmeyer colt out of EM Heiress by His Highness (Hohenstein/Donnerhall). He looks very much like Heiress did as a foal, but in a chestnut color. William has outstanding movement, including his mother's exceptional walk, long legs, white socks and a partial blaze. He is very social and confident.

William is a full brother to Wyleigh Princess. Wyleigh was named the TOP Filly at the very large AHS Inspection in 2010. Read below for more information on this inspection

William was destined to be with Kate. SOLD- Congrats to Kathy of MI.

Congratulations to Elite Mare Halleluja on the birth of her Sandro Hit Colt! He was born within minutes of Saint Patrick's Day so, appropriately he was named Shamrok Hit, "Paddy" for short.

He is black and mousy color with two back small white socks and one front white anklet. And.. boy do we have legs!

It is unseasonably cold in Michigan so he is becoming very used to wearing blankets.

Video at 9 days old.

SOLD - Congratulations to Trudean of BC.

Hidden Acres is very proud of the article on page 29 of the 2010 AHS Fall Magazine where Dr. Ludwig Christmann of the German Verband discussed our foals at the Summer AHS inspection in Michigan. Here is what he said:

"Cheryl and Eric Johnson both had really big smiles on their faces after the foal show. They were extremely successful, winning both the titles of top colt and top filly from three foals they presented. Winning was not easy this day, as there was really strong competition. Breeders here have really invested in quality broodmares and the foal crop showed that this concept pays off. Nine colts and four fillies were presented and the overall quality was very high. The top colt was by Quaterback out of EM Hallelujah H.A., by His Highness. He had tremendous presence combined with a very attractive type and good movement. He was the most complete package.

The top filly was bred out of another His Highness daughter, EM Heiress B, and sired by the legendary Weltmeyer, showing that his qualities are not going out of fashion. His daughter excelled with correct conformation, type and good gaits, and her walk deserves special mention."
