Bewitching

Bewitching is a stunning chestnut filly, born in 2008 by the premium stallion Benvenuto out of a Warkant mother.  Bewitching got her name as she cast a spell on us as a foal with her beauty and extraordinary movement.  Bewitching is a half sister to Royal Wish.

Bewitching's father is Benvenuto who was awarded the coveted Premium title at his licensing despite being one of the only stallions not put forwards for auction.   He also scored the maximum score of 10 for temperament and character in his performance test.  His father Breitling is currently number one in the German breeding index and is known for producing quality yet trainable offspring who include several licensed sons. Benvenuto’s mother's is by the legendary stallion Weltmeyer who won his stallion licencing, his stallion performance test, the Federal Championships and was awarded the title 'Hanoverian Stallion of the Year', although many may argue it should be 'of the Century'.  Weltmeter has sired more than 100 approved sones, 250 State Premium mares, 11 Bundeschampions, and many successful Grand Prix horses including Olympic Gold medalist Weltall and World Cup winner Warum Nicht. One of the most exciting things Weltmeyer does is stamp his offspring with a wonderful hock action.

Bewitching's mother is a daughter of the 2002 Hanoverian Stallion of the Year Warkant.  He started his breeding career in 1987 and from 1993 to 1998 was stationed at Celle where he became of the stars of the Celle stallion parades due his excellent basic gaits and expressive trot.  Warkant's offspring caused a sensation at auctions and competitions.  37 of his offspring were the best horses at their auctions.  Even though Warkant has produced 18 licensed sons, his reputation is as a mare producer, and some exciting stallions are now coming on the scene out of Warkant mares - the most famous of which is Hannoverian  Foundation stallion Londonderry.  Bewitching's grandmother is by the thoroughbred stallion Sugunas.  German performance horse breeding has always returned to the Thoroughbred for soundness, quality and athleticism, and Sugunas is known for reliably passing these qualities on.  He was approved for breeding by the Hannoverians due to his excellent movement and phenomenal trot and produced several offspring who were sold at elite auctions.
