Hunter • Eventer • Foxhunter Prospect
Jeronimo HC is an exceptional young sporthorse prospect with the movement, pedigree, and presence to excel in multiple disciplines. Elegant, athletic, and naturally balanced, he already demonstrates the kind of quality that is difficult to find.
By the legendary EH Hirtentanz: 2023 Trakehner Verband Stallion of the Year and a proven producer of upper-level sporthorses — and out of an approved Thoroughbred mare with exceptional type and movement, Jeronimo combines proven bloodlines with modern sporthorse athleticism and versatility.
At his inspection, he earned premium scores of 8.5 for type, 8.5 for conformation, and 8 for movement, for an overall score of 25.
Even as a yearling, Jeronimo stands out with his expressive movement, uphill build, and confident, charismatic personality. He has the elasticity and presence to shine in the hunter ring while also possessing the athleticism, blood, and natural balance to develop into a serious event prospect or quality foxhunter.
Expected to mature around 16.2hh+.
Jeronimo is gelded, up to date on vaccines and deworming, great for the farrier, leads well, and is learning to load. He is ready to find his future partner.

Sharp Dressed Man HC | April 2026 Trakehner Colt
EH Herzensdieb x Snapee Dressur (Heling)
Dressage • Hunter • Stallion Prospect
Sharp Dressed Man HC is an exceptional 2026 Trakehner colt bred for the upper levels of sport. Athletic, elegant, and naturally uphill, he has demonstrated expressive movement, elasticity, balance, and presence from his earliest days.
His dam, Snapee Dressur, earned 8s for walk, trot, and canter at her mare inspection and enjoyed a long, successful dressage career through Third Level and Freestyle with amateur and junior riders. She retired sound after years of competition and brings proven rideability, durability, and quality to this cross.
His sire, EH Herzensdieb, was Champion of the Trakehner Licensing, Reserve Champion of his 70-Day Test, a Bundeschampionat qualifier, and later competed successfully through S-Level dressage. He is particularly known for producing type, elastic movement, uphill balance, rideability, and excellent temperaments.
Sharp Dressed Man is already showing those qualities. He is confident, curious, people-oriented, and beautifully marked, with the movement and presence to develop into an exciting dressage or hunter prospect.
Expected to mature 16hh+. He will be registered with TANA and receive lifetime USEF registration. Routine care through weaning is included, and flexible payment options are available.
In Utero Offerings for 2027
Ninja Turtle x A Secret In The Night
Expected: April 2027 – GUARANTEED PINTO
If you’re looking for serious sporthorse bloodlines, exceptional versatility, amateur-friendly temperament, and guaranteed chrome, this is an exciting one.
This foal is by Ninja Turtle, an eye-catching young stallion already proving that he has far more to offer than just his color. Ninja Turtle is currently competing successfully through Preliminary level eventing at only six years old, demonstrating the athleticism, bravery, rideability, and versatility we hope to produce in our young horses.
His pedigree is equally impressive: his sire competed through 1.60m show jumping, and his damsire also competed at the 1.60m level. Ninja Turtle is also known for his wonderful temperament and trainability — qualities that make his offspring especially exciting for riders who want talent without sacrificing rideability.
And the best part? Ninja Turtle is homozygous pinto, making this foal GUARANTEED to be pinto.
The dam, A Secret in the Night (“Nightgirl”), brings an equally impressive performance pedigree. She is by Night and Day, by the legendary Nimmerdor, and out of a Grannus-bred mare — combining some truly iconic European jumping blood.
Nightgirl herself had a career in the jumper ring and was ridden by Todd Minikus earlier in her life. Beyond her pedigree and performance history, she has already proven herself as a broodmare. Her last two foals produced for Hidden Creek Ranch have been exceptionally kind, trainable, and amateur-friendly, and their owners continue to rave about their temperaments.
This cross was chosen to produce a horse with the scope and athleticism for jumping, the versatility for eventing, and the brain and temperament that an amateur can enjoy.
Why We Love This Cross
- Guaranteed pinto
- Sire successfully competing Preliminary eventing at just 6 years old
- 1.60m jumper blood on both sides of Ninja Turtle’s pedigree
- Nimmerdor and Grannus influence through the dam
- Proven performance mare

Light My Fire X Jannellie (Colman) – Expected May 2027
Our 2027 Light My Fire × Jannellie foal combines a spectacular, proven sport stallion with a mare who has consistently shown us that she knows how to produce quality. We expect this foal to have the movement, jumping ability, presence, and overall type to be a truly special prospect for the hunter or jumper rings.
Light My Fire is a 17hh Hanoverian stallion by Light On (Lordanos) × Stakkato × Argentinus, bringing together some of the most influential jumping bloodlines in German sporthorse breeding.
And he has the performance record to back up the pedigree.
Light My Fire earned an exceptional jumping breeding value of 137 during his German performance testing, placing him among the very best young jumper stallions of his generation. He went on to compete successfully through 1.40m show jumping in Germany, demonstrating the scope, technique, and rideability his pedigree promised.
After being imported to North America, his career took another impressive turn: Light My Fire transitioned into the hunter ring, where his beautiful jumping style, movement, and rideability allowed him to shine as a hunter derby horse.
That versatility is exactly what makes him so exciting to us as a sire.
And then there’s Jannellie.
Jannellie has proven herself where it matters most to us as breeders: through the quality of her offspring.
She consistently produces the kind of young horses that make you excited about the future; attractive, athletic individuals with the quality and presence we want to see in a modern sporthorse. When choosing a stallion for her, we wanted something capable of taking those qualities and turning the dial all the way up.
Light My Fire was an easy choice.
With his exceptional jumping technique, scope, movement, rideability, and proven versatility combined with Jannellie’s ability to consistently produce quality offspring, we have exceptionally high expectations for this foal.
We are expecting a beautiful-moving, athletic, modern sporthorse with a spectacular jump — the kind that could be equally at home turning heads in the hunter ring or developing into a serious jumper.
Why We’re So Excited About This Cross
- Light My Fire competed through 1.40m show jumping
- Successful transition into the hunter derby ring
- Exceptional 137 jumping breeding value in Germany
- Light On / Lordanos × Stakkato × Argentinus pedigree
- Jannellie is a proven producer of quality offspring
- Bred for exceptional movement and jumping technique
- Exciting prospect for the hunter or jumper ring
- A cross we believe has the potential to produce something truly spectacular
This is quite simply one of our most anticipated 2027 foals.
Available in utero with 10% down and payments available through weaning.
