Oldencraig is proud to offer this elegant, extremely smart 5 year old. This super gelding with his naturally uphill frame and expressive movement makes him a real head turner. He is already showing great attitude towards his education. He is easy to do in all ways and is a pleasure to work with. He has a super walk with a big over track, a very active trot, showing natural swing and cadence and the canter is very balanced and uphill.

His Grandsire Samarant is a Sandro Hit son of the deluxe kind with noble bloodlines and a fascinating silhouette. Samarant fulfilled all expectations. His foals inherit their sire’s light type and exceptional appearance. Straightaway two of his foals were placed in the finals of the German foal championships – others were a sought after commodity at numerous auctions. Samarant was awarded the title premium by the Oldenburg Horse Breeders Society for producing such an outstanding first crop of foals in addition to being successful in dressage classes. In 2005, Samarant took part in the finals of the German young horse championships and in the same year was named reserve Hanoverian County Champion at the World Championship of Young Dressage Horses.

On Sir Hi Grootenhouts dam side is a top stallion in personality, performance and by inheritance standards. Landjonker began his breeding career in Holland under the name of Fruhling where he won or was highly placed in medium to advanced level jumping. So far he has produced four licensed sons for Germany--Karneval, Lassango, Life is Life and Fighting Alpha. In 1994, Fighting Alpha was the unsurpassed winner of the stallion performance test in Redefin and is now internationally successful with Olympic champion, Lars Nieberg. Landjonker left many championship horses and highly prized broodmares in Holland. His offspring are extremely elegant and have fascinating movements. As with his sire, Landadel, Landjonker also produces only dark horses (no chestnuts). He has presented a large number of premium foals and high priced candidates at the foal auctions in Vechta and Verden. The approved Argentinus sons, Aventyno and Avellynus, as well as the highly successful international dressage horse, Brillant/Beatriz Ferrer-Salat (Spain) also originate from this dam line.

This youngster is already demonstrating signs of a very promising future, which is to be expected with his impeccable breeding. We have high hopes for this attractive and graceful horse, we look forward to finding the right owner to build a new partnership with him and start a promising journey together. Sir Hi Grootenhouts is good to shoe, box and hacks alone and in company.
