The elegant chestnut sire is from the Hanoverian State Stud at Celle in Germany and imported in 2006 by Lynn McEnespy of Chico, California with the assistance of agent Britta Johnston and Dr. Alex Brockman from the Hanoverian State Stud. Bred by Wilfried Schlichting of Germany, Waterford is a 1996 born Hanoverian stallion of the best modern breeding. His sire is Wolkenstein II (winner of his stallion testing) who is by the famous Weltmeyer (winner of his stallion testing). His dam, Minna is by the modern refining stallion, Matcho AA (winner of his stallion testing) and her dam is by the famous dressage sire, Pik König.

Waterford had a magnificent entry. In 1998 he was the champion at the Hanoverian stallion approval. The following year he won the stallion performance test with high scores. His high total breed value for dressage benefited from his excellent performance test result. Offspring from his first three-year old vintage were already evaluated under saddle including thirteen, which were presented at pre- selections for Verden's auction program.” Nadine Capellmann purchased a four-year old Hanoverian mare by Waterford out of a Falkland dam at the Verden Elite Auction in October,2004. "She has a super walk and canter and a very elastic trot". |
