USEF/Markel Young Horse Dressage Championships Final Presents the Horses For the Future

Wolkenwand and Anthea Kin

Anthea C. Kin brought her lovely Hanoverian gelding, Wolkenwand, from her farm in Mounds, Oklahoma. The chestnut by Wolkenstein II out of Warina by Walt Disney was bred in Germany by Bernd Meyer, impressed the judges with his big walk, scoring a 7.8. His trot work showed a “lovely cadence and potential” earning an 8.0, and his canter earned a 7.3, while clean in rhythm required “more jump” for a higher score.

Whitham congratulated the rider on her training and riding giving the team who had traveled far for the event an 8.0 on submission, and 7.8 for type. Kin a breeder who trained for years in England, has a farm in Oklahoma with more prospects for the future, and will certainly be appearing again in this class.
