Cridhe was booked for training... we took for screening Xrays, the Vet was amazed at the quality of her xrays and joints.  Unfortunately a few months later, she rolled in her stall and got her foot in the bars of our barn.. She is broodmare sound only now

​

What a broodmare she is! 

 

 Her first foal was born in 2023 a beautiful filly by the amazing stallion Sky who is making a mark in this world  PREMIUM Filly.  Fairytail Romance or FAE. 

​

Cridhe then shot it out of the park with her 2024 ELITE colt Dance for Romance (McDreamy) by the legendary Dancier.  

​

currently in foal to GP Dressage stallion Depardieu x De Niro.  

​

Both Cridhe's  dam and sire are wffs n/n so she is not a carrier.

​

Her Sire For Romance is the epitome of a model sire and from a Voltaire dam line that has been accorded great success. Blessed with three excellent gaits, his canter and trot can only be described with superlatives and his character is also noteworthy. He stood out brilliantly in the strong lot of stallions at the 2011 Oldenburg Verband licensing and the enthusiastic spectators in Vechta gave him standing ovations. After a strenuous duel between bidders, For Romance was finally knocked down to Dressurpferde Leistungszentrum Lodbergen.

His sire, Fürst Romancier, was licensed in 2007 and made headlines just two years later when he took fourth place in the World Championships for young dressage horses in the class for five year olds and also fourth place at the Bundeschampionat in Warendorf. That same year he was awarded the I-a main premium for stallions with emphasis on dressage for the quality of his first foal crop. Meanwhile, Matthias Alexander Rath, who was on the third placed team at the WC and the second placed team at the EC, has taken over Fürst Romancier’s training.

The dam’s sire, Sir Donnerhall I, gained trademark status early on in his career. He was the 2nd Reserve Champion at his licensing, State Champion, the record-breaking winner of his stallion performance test, Vice World Champion of young dressage horses and Bundeschampion as well as the main premium winner of stallions with emphasis on dressage. More than 50 of his sons have been licensed. In 2010, three of his progeny took Vice Bundeschampion titles in Warendorf: Silbermond the NRW Champion Stallion, Appassionata and the licensed Snap Shot. He has also sired numerous top auction horses.

In the third generation of his pedigree you find Don Schufro who took the Danish Champion title and won team bronze at the 2008 Olympic Games in Hong Kong under Andreas Helgstrand/DEN. He is the sire of many champions such as the dressage horse World Champion Honnerups Driver”and Uno Donna Unique, as well as the Oldenburg Champion Mare, Rebelle, who took fourth place at the WC for young dressage horses. In 2011, Don Schufro once again left his competitors behind in the FN’s predicted breeding value statistics for rideability.

For Romance’s dam line goes back to Voltaire, a Furioso II son who was well-known in breeding and sport the world over. This line is also the origin of the licensed stallions Dusty, Furinos and Platino as well as many international sport horses that were highly successful in show jumping as well as dressage.

​

Cridhe's dam, Frangelica was the highest scoring Hanoverian mare in the United States in the four year old & Older yeld/Maiden Hanoverian Mare Division in 2008 and thus earned the title of US National Champion Hanoverian Mare. She was grand champion mare at the NWSHA Breeder's Classic Show. As a three year old Materiale Filly, she was third in the USA. She is a maternal half sister to AHS National Chamoption two and three year old Colt, Con Brio HF and AHS Reserve National Champion First Level AA dressage mare, De Soleil.

Frangelica's dam line is a breeder's dream as her grandmother is a full blood sister to the dam of the famous Rubinstein son, Rotspon. As a sport horse, Frangelica showed a great ability and talent for dressage, and competed very sucessfully in eventing, where she was able to showe her confidence, bravery, athleticism and beautiful movement. She has passed along her fabulous personality and movement to her 2015 colt by Bon Balou.

​

Frangelica is a striking 2004 16.2h Hanoverian mare imported in utero from Germany with three exceptional gaits that already has many wins in dressage.

Sired by Frenchman, a 17 hand black stallion at the Hanoverian State Stud in Celle, Germany. Frenchman was the Reserve Champion of his 100 Day Performance test in Adelheidsdorf, Germany with outstanding scores in both dressage and jumping.

Frangelica’s dam, Weltmeyer’s Song (by Weltmeyer) was a States Premium mare candidate in Germany and has many championships in the USA, including being named #4 Hanoverian mare in the USA (AHS 2005 Year End Awards.)

Frangelica is a impressive mare that shows strong influence from Weltmeyer in her powerful, elastic gaits and presence. She has tons of character, loves attention, and is sensitive to her rider. She has shown to 3rd level and also shows great talent for jumping.  

​

Ecstatic with the news that Frangelica is currently in foal to For Romance for a 2019 foal!  This should be dressage deluxe.
