HAPPY HOUR continues to preserve and pass on the most valuable, outstanding qualities in existence for many generations through the impeccable and valuable foundation Trakehner lines of his mother, HEIMKEHR III and his father, INDUC (1994 German Bundeschampion), tracing back to Main Stud Trakehnen.

There is no question or doubt HAPPY HOUR is most deservedly earning his wings as a top notch and valuable breeding sire both now and for the future. With each foal crop, HAPPY HOUR has consistently passed on his very desirable physical and mental attributes and crosses very well with a wide variety of mare types. He receives very complimentary remarks from inspectors & judges regarding his superb prepotency and abilities as an excellent improver sire. Thus far, HAPPY HOUR's children consistently inherit correct conformation, good substance and size, are quite leggy, and are typically very well balanced and harmonious in their body types. They demonstrate elegant, yet powerful & uphill movement with great suppleness and elasticity. HAPPY HOUR's children are willing, sensible, accommodating, inquisitive, bold & confident, and are very sociable and people-oriented - qualities we are indeed very proud!

While some of HAPPY HOUR's offspring are young, his first son has repeatedly earned top USDF HOY, All-Breeds and FEI Young Horse rankings. In addition, was is the 2006 American Trakehner Association Futurity Champion, which is an outstanding accomplishment. Younger offspring are performing very well in-hand at such prestigious competitions as Dressage at Lexington and Dressage at Devon, and others are already winning and placing well in their first under-saddle competitions.

Feedback from clients consistently includes such terms as, very willing, great natural talent, very sensible, easy, uncomplicated, athletic, kind, fabulous mover, awesome, very smart, lots of fun, and more. We are very proud and excited about all of HAPPY HOUR's children and feel the qualities they inherit are essential ingredients for the ultimate sport horse.

We are very honored and feel incredibly privileged to be the human companions to HAPPY HOUR. While in reality, nothing (horse and human alike) is absolutely perfect in every way, we absolutely could not ask for more -- he is truly the horse of a lifetime for us. We have never encountered a more kind, willing, loving, sensible creature who learns so easily, has such a strong desire to please, and who is so trusting. While we obviously have a great emotional attachment to our boy, it is a proven fact HAPPY HOUR possesses many highly desirable traits himself as an excellent performance and breeding horse, and it is these essential traits he consistently passes on to his offspring -- superb character & temperament, excellent rideability, trainability, willingness, sensibility, and physical ability. We love him dearly and will never betray the trust he places in us. His name suits him to a tee, as he seems to indeed be a very 'happy' fellow -- so full of life and joy.

Our Mission Statement: To produce top quality performance horses for the amateur and professional -- to produce the most trainable, rideable and talented equine partner possible. In doing so, provide the very best customer service possible for our clients. And equally important, to preserve our wonderful Trakehner breed.
