Duchesse is a super mare with super free, elastic and elegant paces. She has a loving nature although still quite babyish. She will make a super dressage/sports horse as not only can she move well but she also did extremely well in the jumping part of her test. She is a State Premium Awarded mare so also might be useful as a top broodmare. She is wormed and vaccinated to date. She was backed last year and left to mature. She is now back under saddle and going well.

Duchesse has some of the best bloodlines that Germany has to offer. She is an ultra modern Hanoverian mare. Her inspection scores were impeccable. She received a 9 for her head!! The rest of her inspection was dominated by 8's!!!!

In her mare performance test Duchesse scored the following;
WALK; 7.5
TROT; 7.0
CANTER; 7.0
RIDEABILITY; 2 X 7.5
JUMPING; 7.0 & 7.5

Duchesse comes from a very successful motherline. Her dam WINTERSONG is by the legendary stallion WELTMEYER!! He certainly needs no introduction. Duchesse's grandam is Moira. She is by the stallion Matcho. As a 2yro Moira was champion at a mare show in north Germany. She was then bought by Marefield & imported to the USA. In '92 Moira produced a filly by Weltmeyer, WINTERSONG. As a yearling Wintersong went to the prestgious show DRESSAGE at DEVON where she was shown inhand & was crowned CHAMPION OF THE WHOLE SHOW!!!!! A year later she returned to Germany & took up residence with the Clasen family at Hiddestorf. At her MPT, Wintersong was the best mare out of 45 mares!! She also won her class at the mare show & was awarded her STPA. Her test results where also very good:
