Happy 1 year birthday to Ode to Joy (Contango x Wellspring/Wellington/Nimmerdor). I know momma Wellspring has not shrunk. This filly's growth has been amazing in 1 year! Taking after her daddy, she is definitely going to be a big girl. Thank goodness she is a people-loving sweet thing! Both Odie and Wellspring are available. Come visit and see the girls!

“Wellspring” - 2003 KWPN Broodmare available, Granddaughter of Nimmerdor. Dark bay mare, approx. 16.1h. Sensible and easy to handle. Showed classic signs of impending birth, with easy uncomplicated delivery, and an excellent mother to a fast growing large foal. 2019 Contango foal (frozen semen) on site.

Wellspring, as a foal, was awarded a rare First Premium rating by the KWPN. She was also Top 5 USDF DSHB HOY for Fillies of 2003 with a median score of 76.150% (Sporthorse judge Hilda Gurney named her Grand Champion Filly with a score of 79.4%). Under saddle Wellspring was successfully shown in Dressage earning a Top 10 USDF HOY KWPN ranking at Training level in 2009 (with scores as high as 73.214%).

Wellspring’s sire was Wellington “keur”, by Nimmerdor (“Stallion of the Century”). Wellington competed internationally in Jumping and advanced Dressage, and was a World- ranked leading sire of international competitors in both disciplines. He earned 9 ratings for his trainability, manners, and temperament. Interestingly, at his early KWPN stallion inspection he also earned a 9 in Driving.

Wellspring’s dam, Ol Lady Express, was a KWPN approved Thoroughbred mare of the Nearco, Man o’ War, Native Dancer lineage. She was presented at the KWPN keuring inspection in 1997, the last year the KWPN inspected TBs. Lady was awarded a very rare First Premium rating by none other than the legendary KWPN breed inspector, Gert van der Veen.

Got this delivered in the mail just in time for Christmas. My USDF Gold Medal. Thank you Titleist! And Carol Schmickrath, my long time Dressage instructor. And all of my dressage friends who gave me so much encouragement and moral support along the way. And not to forget my husband, Steve, and family. They may not even know much about what dressage is, but have been happy to support me in my lifetime passion for horses and my goals for training to the highest levels of dressage. Thank you one and all!
