Congratulations from Manfred Louven
to Rena Fraikin
for her Golden Riding Badge
A big honor
at the beginning of the year 2012
for the successful duo Sir Arthur
and his rider and trainer Rena Fraikin
At the beginning of the year 2012 an
encouraging news reached the Dressage Team Waldfried: The Trakehner
Förderverein e.V., which supports successful sport horses of Trakehner
breed, honored the top mount of the Waldfried Dressage Stables the nine year
old Trakehner gelding Sir Arthur with the title ‚TSF’ due to his promising
career and his outstanding successes in the dressage ring.
In the future the black Trakehner
gelding will compete under the name ‚Sir Arthur TSF’. His trainer and rider
Rena Fraikin, who has trained her protégé already since he was a four year
old and has supported him till Grand Prix level, finds in this honor the
confirmation of her careful classical training of the horse and feels glad
that the Trakehner Förderverein e.V. acknowledges her work in this way and
considers it for worthy of promotion. Bp
Great ending of the
show season for
Rena Fraikin and Sir Arthur

During the International Frankfurt
Horse Show in the legendary ‚Festhalle’, the Final of the ST Masters took
place, for which five trainer/student combinations had been able to qualify
during a qualification series in the outdoor season. The Final was decided
in a national competition class M* (medium level) for the students and a
competition class S** (advanced level) for the trainers, while trainers and
riders were competing the same horse.
Rena Fraikin, the
person responsible in the Waldfried Dressage Stables for the training of the
horses and riders, won convincingly with the eight year old Trakehner
gelding Sir Arthur (Buddenbrock - Consul) with a score of 68.4 percent the
competition cl. S** for the trainers. In the overall ranking, for which the
scores of trainer and student were count together, Rena Fraikin became
runner-up together with her student Livia von Koeller.
For Rena Fraikin and
the outstanding Sir Arthur was this a crowning conclusion of a very
successful season: seven victories in cl. S and one Intermediaire I-win,
furthermore many top placings till Intermediaire I and the title ‚Championesse
of the Hessen Professional Dressage Trainers 2011’ for the rider and the
title of the ‘Best Horse in the Horse Exchange for Sir Arthur in the
Championat of the Professionals belong to the most outstanding successes of
the duo in this year! bp

For the 20th time the Hessen
Dressage Championships for Professional Dressage Trainers with horse
exchange final took place during the Langen Dressage Show. The anniversary
championships was decided in a Prix St. Georges and an Intermediaire I
competition followed by a horse exchange final on advanced level. Through
Rena Fraikin, the senior instructor of the Waldfried Dressage Stable and
permanent rider of Sir Arthur, the title of the Hessen Champion of the
Professional Dressage Instructors went for the second time into the dressage
barn at Frankfurt-Niederrad. In the horse exchange final the eight year old
Trakehner gelding Sir Arthur showed also under the saddle of the other
dressage instructors his outstanding quality, his willingness to perform and
his strong nerves and so in the end he cantered out off the arena with the
title of the most successful horse in the horse exchange final. In 2008, the
former chief instructor of the Waldfried Dressage Stable, ‚Pferdewirtschaftsmeisterin
FN’ Alexandra Freimuth, had already won the title aboard Etempo (Temple Wind
xx - Raubritter), who belonged to the lot of the Waldfried sales horses.
Rena Fraikin won aboard Sir Arthur
also the qualification to the ‚ST Master’ student – instructor –
competition, a Prix St. Georges class, and herewith her ticket together with
her student Livia von Köller as one of five combinations for the final
during the International Frankfurt Horse Show’ in December 2011. bp

Waldfried on
Reconstruction work
The 'golden October'
will be used to improve the service facilities for our clients.
The former stallion barn will be converted to a grooming and washing
building.
Two big grooming spaces, an at least
as big washing space, a solarium
and an additional tack room will give
the former stallion barn not only a new look, but
also a new function. The walls will be completely
renovated and will receive a new color,
the complete floor will be covered with a slip-resistant, watertight rubber
surface. A heater will take care for pleasant working
conditions also in winter time. The about four meter high ceiling
will together with several big windows and some
ventilation shafts not only admit much light to enter, but also produce a
very good indoor climate and a stylish ambience. bp
Golden Riding Badge
for Rena Fraikin
The chief instructor of the
Waldfried Dressage Stables, ‚Pferdewirtschaftsmeister’ Rena Fraikin, was
honoured with the Golden Riding Badge for her exceptional successes in the
dressage and show jumping sport at the occasion of the Wolfskehlen horse
show. The rider, already awarded with the Steensbeck medal for her
outstanding result at her ‚Pferdewirtschaftsmeister’ examination, received
this additional honourable mark of distinction from the hands of the Second
President of the Hessen Riding and Driving Association Erika Born and the
President of the ‘Frankfurter Reit- und Turniergemeinschaft Waldfried’
Manfred Louven.
It has not too many riders, which
reach this honour for their successes on advanced level, but even less, who
achieved them as well in dressage as in show jumping. Rena Fraikin is
already the third member of the Waldfried Dressage Stables honoured with the
Golden Riding Badge. But, as it was also expressed in the eulogy, it is not
only her success in the sport, which make her deserving this award, but also
her manner to deal with horse and her personal integrity. bp
First competition – first victory !
The just three year old licensed
Trakehner stallion Lichtenfels sired by Le Rouge out off a Caprimond dam was
able to shine even against his four year old competitors in a riding horse
competition at Leidhecken. His permanent rider, the chief trainer of the
Waldfried Stables Rena Fraikin, presented the chestnut stallion in such a
convincing manner that the judges granted him for canter and trot the high
mark 9 in a scale of ten. For all other criteria he received an 8, what
summed up to the high overall mark of 8.5. A very promising upbeat for this
outstanding stallion into his first show season ! bp
Outstanding success
for the five year old, licensed pony stallion Obama
The chestnut pony stallion in
exquisite outline was able to win in convincing manner in his first start of
the 2009 season the dressage horse test cl. L at Muecke and achieved with
this victory at the same time his ticket to the Federal Championships of
Young Horses and Ponies at Warendorf in September 2009.
Obama
This success is even the more
remarkable, since the just eleven year old rider Annabelle Manganaro has got
the pony stallion under her saddle just a few days before the horse show and
it has also been for Obama his first cl. L competition – a great success for
rider and horse ! bp
Perfect start into the new
show season for Rena Fraikin and the Waldfried sales horses
On the occasion of the Late
Entry Horse Show at Großostheim (Germany) on February 15, Rena Fraikin took
the chance to draw attention with the double wins of two M dressage tests
aboard two of the Waldfried sales horses. Already in her first show of this
year, the Chief-Bereiter of the Waldfried Dressage Stables won convincingly
aboard a 13 year old, elegant, brown Rhineland
stallion
the M** dressage competition, in which she became runner-up with a 14 year
old gelding. Aboard this chic, dark brown Oldenburg gelding the ‚Pferdewirtschaftsmeister’
had already won before the M* class. In this competition she had become
runner-up with the Rhineland
stallion.
With these successes Rena
Fraikin documented again impressingly the winner potential of the Waldfried
sales horses! bp
