Germ (pronounced like Hedam) was born 2/27/2002. Germ’s
sire comes from the Hearke and Oege lines. His dam comes
from the line including Geesje, a Model mare. Germ is a 2nd
Premie registered Star gelding winning the Grand Champion
Gelding at the Keuring in 2007. Germ shows exceptional talent
for dressage. He is an elegant, modern type with an outstanding
temperament. He is forward and energetic and always enjoys
pleasing his trainer and owner.
Germ is working at a solid 3rd Level now, and showing talent
for pirouettes, piaffe and passage. We are very excited about
his progress and the aptitude he is showing for the upper
level work. He comes out every day ready to go and is a joy
to work with!
