"La Mirage", 1999 black imported Oldenburg mare, sire Lacatras by Landgraf, dam by Le Matin, son of Lord. Pure bred on prestigious Holstein bloodlines. Always reliable, no hesitancy regardless of the jump. A magnificent confidence builder for a junior rider.

"Kascade", 1999 grey imported Holsteiner mare, sire Carolus I by Capitol I. Her dam carries the blood of internationally successful Silbersee who represented Germany in multiple Nation Cups and worldwide at the highest levels with Dr. Michael Rueping. A beauty queen with superior technique and unbelievable dark gentle eyes that compare to black pearls.

"Cappucino", 1998 bay imported Holsteiner gelding, sire Capitol II by Capitano - now that must be a ringing in jumper riders ears! Dam by Liostro. Shown successfully up to 4.9' with a 12 yo German junior! Power, agility, competitive, careful, young - the most desirable features and suited for a junior rider.

Mr. Eduardo Pellerano comments, "My 12 year old son Roger and I travelled to Germany with Alex looking to buy outstanding jumpers. Our experience was more than we expected. We visited several Sporthorse Stables throughout the country. Roger rode as many horses as possible, always with Alex pre-selecting the horses to assure the quality and the level that my son could handle. All of the horses were of Top Quality and priced at a very reasonable investment. Alex's professionalism, honesty, sincerity,and dedication to my son's riding carreer has been very important for his success. As a result we bought three beautiful jumpers, 2 Holsteiners and 1 Oldenburger. Their names are La Mirage, Cappucino and Kascade. Roger has been winning ribbons since he started competing. He is currently jumping 1.00, 1.10 and up to 1.20 metres. Next year he will start showing at 1.30 metres. As Roger's father, I would encourage anyone looking to experience a wonderful time buying horses in Germany to contact Alex Gerding."

Buyer Ashley de Boer comments, "I bought Safari from Alex less than a year ago, and this horse has surpassed all expectations that I held. Her intelligence, clever sense of humor, and competitive attitude have already put her in the ribbons in several Dressage and Eventing competitions. Even though she is only five years old, I have never before felt such power and scope over a fence. She is a privilege to own, and I love working to keep up with her talent and enthusiasm."

Congratulations to Olivia Sachs and her trainer Molly Flaherty from Arcadia Farm, New York, NY. This team did a super job in Wellington WEF 2004. They were consistently in the ribbons, being together such a short time, which tells a lot about the rider's talent, the horses ridability, and outstanding professional planning through Arcadia Farm Inc.
