For the seventh year in a row, the Oldenburg Horse Breeders Society visited the Equine Park at Cornell University to inspect mares and foals from the breeding herd as well as several privately owned mares and foals. After seemingly endless rainy days, we were once again lucky to have a beautiful day and the inspection proceeded without any problems, thanks to the assistance of many dedicated students and employees, visiting mare owners and handlers and visitors that all pitched in to help. Again, special thanks to Nicole Bowen for seeing that all the Cornell mares and foals were ready for show day.
Inspectors Mo Swanson, Ludger Thole and Holly Simensen evaluated two mares and fifteen foals in record time! Phil Silva did a great job of showing most of the mares and dodging the energetic foals!
Congratulations to Maggie Neider for her filly, Perpetua NHF who was awarded Premium foal as well as the Foal of Distinction Award. Francine Walker's Sinatra Song filly, Sassicaia, was also awarded Premium foal along with the Benvolio colt, Bon Voyage, owned by Kris Smith. Two additional Foal of Distinction awards were given to Lambrusco, a L'Andiamo colt owned by Sue Swart and Lalena Star, a L'Andiamo filly owned by Alexandra Krossen. Cindy and Gene Fletcher presented one Weser-Ems foal, HMF Chocolate Delight by Hilkens Black Delight, for a Premium award. Christine Schweizer brought back her Premium foal from the 2007 Inspection, Best Wishes (Benvolio x Wellwisher by Wendepunkt) who entered the Main Mare Book. Cheri Schultz brought her colorful mare and foal pair, Moonpie by Sempatico who entered the Main Mare Book, with her flashy filly, Moondance by Rosenthal.
