Despite a very heavy competition schedule, Noble Champion
sired 1 licensed son, Noble Dancer (3rd in showjumping in his
performance
test and 5th overall at Neustadt/Dosse in 1999), 35 graded mares
including 1 Stats Premium mare, and currently has 77 progeny competing
successfully under saddle in Germany. The oldest of these is
now 11 years old and between them they have won well over 100,000 Euros
in competition. At the end of 2002, Noble Champion had 22
children with placings at the top level of show jumping and 15 children
with placings in dressage.

The mare Noble Savage is his most successful representative in
competition. She is ridden by Marcus Ehning at the top international
level of the show jumping sport. Other successful
young progeny include the good young horses Noble Fashion,
Nabucco, and Noblesse in showjumping plus Nairobi
and Noel in dressage.

"I have wanted to write for some time and tell you about my
fantastic Noble Champion filly!
Back in 2002, I was having a difficult time deciding which stallion
would be the best match for my TB mare. After talking with you at
length, I was convinced Noble Champion would be the one, and now that
my filly has turned three, I have to tell you, she is by far the best
horse I have ever bred and the smartest horse I have ever seen!
|
|
Her conformation is perfect-she has huge ground covering strides,
much more bone than my mare had, a beautiful hip, great feet (my
farrier loves her) and best of all a temperament and intelligence
that can't be beat.
The first time she was backed I slid onto her from a haybale and rode
her to the neighbors with a halter and leadrope. After 2 or 3 rides
she was out on the trail, going over bridges, riding through the
forest on a ravine trail and trotting out in big open fields without
the security of the herd. She is so bold and full of cuiosity, I have
never owned a more confident horse.
I know I have my 'horse of a lifetime' in this mare, and I wanted to
thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
Sincerely,
Wendy Wilkinson
