Hilken's Black Delight

Black, 2003, 14.1hh

This exquisite young Weser-Ems stallion won the 2005 Weser-Ems licensing and was the first pony ever to be invited to the Oldenburg Stallion Parade, where he received a standing ovation and was described as being " as close to perfection as possible" and the most stunning pony they had seen for at least six years since his sire, Branduardi M, won the licensing. Branduardi M (Black Boy - Valentino - Caid AA), won his performance test (8.85) and later became Vice Bundeschampion and the pony with the highest earnings in sport of all 4 - 6-year-olds at that time in Germany, being successful up to FEI-level dressage and jumping classes level L (about 4'2" ) against ponies and horses.

He was then sold to Denmark, where he immediately became a member of the national pony dressage team, competing successfully all over Europe. Now competing successfully in ridden classes, Black Delight was recently reserve champion in the Berlin National Stallion Show (a very prestigious event held every four years and by invitation only) and Champion Riding Pony at Höven, with an overall score of 8.7 (no score under 8 and three 9s).

Black Delight's dam, St Pr St Syrah and her half-sisters St Pr St Shakyrah and St Pr St Sophie won the Weser-Ems Elite Mare Shows in 2001, 2002 and 2005. Syrah qualified for the Bundeschampionat as a 3, 4 and 6-year-old and was reserve champion of her mare performance test. Sophie was champion of her mare performance test and finished 4th in the finals of the Bundeschampionat 2002. There are many licensed stallions, State Premium mares and successful sport ponies out of this dam line.

Black Delight became Champion 4-year-old Riding Pony at the Oldenburger/Weser-Ems Championships in Rastede in 2007, winning the first round, and beating 34 other ponies with a score of 8.7. In doing so, he qualified for the Bundeschampionat. His first crop of foals are proving to have inherited his superb movement, conformation and temperament. Foals can be registered with Weser-Ems, Hanoverian or Westfalen Studbooks, in addition to the mare's own studbook, and he is now also registered with the SPSS (Sports Pony Studbook Society).

Oldenburger Magazine said this of Black Delight, " The beautiful black stallion enchanted the audience with his type and his spectacular, generous movements which are excellently carried by the hind. He made the audience celebrate him with standing ovations. Over the jump, he shows just the same superior quality. His dam's and sire's line are both loaded with big names and highly successful relatives, among them his ¾ sister, Hilken's Shakyrah, who not only won the Elite Mare Show in Vechta, but also the class of the three year olds at the national mare show in Warendorf this year."
