A Purposeful Blend of Modern and Classical Bloodlines
The first foal from the top scoring mare in the country for the American Hanoverian Society (2018), Laurette. Sired by Reserve World Champion Secret, this is a highly modern colt with long lines, a beautiful front end, and super elasticity in movement. Already from day one he showed the active, ground covering canter now synonymous with his famous sire. He is correct in his foundation with expression enough for the big ring and an agreeable, adaptable character. In our minds, this is a future horse for the upper levels.
Congratulations to Oak Meadows Farm and Grand Prix rider Chris Hickey on the purchase of this colt!

In the Pedigree
Sire Secret is an own son of Triple Crown World Young Horse Champion and now PSG/I1 successful Sezuan. Secret has already established strong success as a young horse, being named Reserve Bundeschampion as a Three-Year Old, Reserve World Champion as a Five-Year Old, and most recently 2020 Bundeschampion of the Six-Year Old Riding Horses with a 10 for the canter and a 9.5 for the trot. His first foal crops have cemented him as a producer of modern, long-legged types with above average gaits. His first vintage of stallion sons impressed at their licensings with three sons named Premium in Verden, and now many being lauded for their top rideability and gaits under saddle.
Dam Laurette was named the recipient of the Bari von Buedingen Memorial Trophy in 2018 for having the highest mare inspection score within the country that year. Her overall score of 8.16 included multiple 9s and 8s and she has been celebrated as a classic Hanoverian mare. She is a direct daughter of licensing champion and Bundeschampion Londonderry, a stallion known within the Hanoverian breed as a source of type and riding horse qualities. A number of top sporthorses boast Londonderry as damsire including double World Champion D'Avie, World Young Horse Bronze Medal-winning Fürsten-Look, and 2020 Nürnberger Burg-Pokal Champion Destacado FRH. Signify comes from the same damline as Danish Olympic Horse Selten HW.
