  • Pedigree

    Candy's dam St.Pr./El.St. C'est bon achieved a novelty. In mating to Sir Donnerhall I, she produced five full siblings with Candy OLD, Cindy OLD, Sir Heinrich OLD, Caty OLD and Casey OLD, all of whom won gold at the Bundeschampionate. Casey OLD and herself were also singled out as Oldenburg Champion Mares, Cindy OLD as Reserve Champion Mare. Caty OLD and the licensed Sir Heinrich OLD achieved advanced (S) level successes. The latter advanced to become one of the most influential stallions ever as an NRW state stallion. His full brother Si bon was also licensed. Half-siblings are the second Reserve Champion Mare and Inter I winner Calla (by Rock Forever) and Brakarys (by Bordeaux)/Tanya Karen Seymour/RSA, who also won the Small Tour.

    The sire Sir Donnerhall was second Oldenburg Reserve Champion in 2003, HLP winner and Ia main premium stallion in 2005 and Bundeschampion and Dressage Horse Vice World Champion (5yo) in 2006. Over 100 of his sons have been licensed and almost 400 of his daughters have been awarded prizes. He has been one of the world's top ten dressage sires according to the WBFSH for several years.

    Successes

    OL Champion Mare - World Championship Bronze - Bundeschampioness - Landeschampioness - SLP Winner - S-Series Winner

    Candy passed her mare performance test in Vechta as a superior winner. The judges awarded the Sir Donnerhall I-daughter a dream score of 10 for her trot and the riders also gave her a very good score (9.0) for her rideability. Overall, Candy, who was awarded the main premium, scored 8.63 and thus one of the highest results ever in Oldenburg breeding history. At the State Championships in Rastede she won both the Elite Mare Show and the Riding Horse Championships. With a score of 8.9, she achieved the highest result in the Riding Horse and Dressage Horse Championships in Rastede and was nominated for the Bundeschampionat.

    In 2017, series victories in novice class dressage horse tests were already added and the renewed victory in the State Championships in Rastede. Candy celebrated the highlight of the season by winning the Bundeschampionat for four-year-old riding horses in Warendorf. She already won the final qualification with a score of 8.6, receiving a 9.0 for both trot and conformation. In the final, Candy confirmed her good performance and also received 18.5 points from the outside riders and finally won the sash with 62.0 points.

    At the World Championships for five-year-old dressage horses 2018 in Ermelo/NED, Candy OLD was presented by Eva Möller. The pair was frenetically celebrated by the spectators after a harmony-pur performance and also received excellent scores from the judges: 9.8 for trot, 9.7 for perspective, 9.4 each for canter and rideability and 8.6 for walk. This meant that Candy OLD and Eva Möller could not be denied bronze as the best mare in the final behind the two stallions Revolution under Andreas Helgstrand/DEN and Destacado with Matthias Alexander Rath.

    World and European champion and Olympic silver medalist Helen Langehanenberg then rode Candy OLD to a series of victories up to St. Georges dressage. After a longer break from competitions, Candy OLD made an impressive comeback in 2024, this time under the saddle of Sabrina Geßmann - and continued her winning streak in the Small Tour.
