OUR PHILOSOPHY: Edenhof is a private breeding farm, dedicated to producing a few top quality German Riding Pony foals each year. They are specifically designed to be successful in today’s highly competitive arenas. Superstars aren’t accidents, they begin in the breeding shed as carefully planned breedings to optimize genetic potential. Understanding that the depth of an individual’s pedigree supports conformation, gait mechanics, temperament, soundness, and rideability. Successfully producing sport horses and ponies is actually a scientific endeavor to bring our trainers and riders the best “raw material” possible. After all, in terms of hours training and dollars, the cost is the same to bring along an OK prospect as it is to bring along the top prospect. So, ask yourself, which one is the better value for the long journey to the top? What will I have at the end of the day? If you are looking for a superstar- you have come to the right place.
The most important aspect of our program is our selection and production of mares. All Edenhof mares are Premium rated themselves and/or consistent producers of Premium foals. They combine some of the best performance pedigrees of both the warmblood and German Riding Pony. They have been selected for their superb pedigrees, type, gaits, and temperaments. Then sires are chosen to further boost the offspring’s potential, paying extra attention to the combination of magnificent gaits and the highest scores for temperament and rideability. Thus all Edenhof foals are supported by the depth of pedigree and conformation that ensures soundness, breathtaking movement, balance, and of course the wonderful temperaments with fun to train personalities. We always shoot for the stars!!!
