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
