Pedigree:

Wradar, born in 1992,  is a 16.2 hand, liver chestnut,  Oldenburg stallion by Weltstern out of Gralischka by Granit.  His grandsire, Welt As, is well known as the sire of Olympic Bonfire ridden by Anky von Grunsven of the Netherlands, who won the Kur gold medal at the world championships, and was the individual gold medalist at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.  Wradar's pedigree also boasts such legendary sires as:   Furioso II, Weltmeister, Absatz,More Magic xx, Granit, Grande and Flugel von la Roche.

Wradar is fully approved for breeding by ISR/Oldenburg North America and the Oldenburg Verband. 

Performance:

Wradar's solid breeding shows in his own quality. He is a very modern type and extravagant mover.   He successfully completed the 100 Day Stallion Testing in Ohio, Fall, 1998, placing third overall and was the highest placed Oldenburg stallion at the Testing. His final score was 123.29, with a dressage index of 130.14. We are particularly proud that this homebred stallion's scores were above average in every category.

Wradar  finished the 2002 competition year in first place in the USDF All-Breeds Awards for Oldenburg/ISR and the German Oldenburg Verband at both Prix St. Georges and Int- I.   

In 2003, spent the first half of the year with Lena Wedenmark in Miami, Florida in preparation for what would hopefully be a spot on the Pan Am Teams for Barbados. Lena is the coach for their international team and Akoela Roachford - the rider who would be competing him. Wradar was a participant in the Kyra Kirklund Symposium at the Kentucky Horse Park in April and stopped on the way home to compete at the MGDA Dressage Show in Georgia, where he won the Prix St. George on Saturday and Intermediare I on Sunday. Akoela and Wradar achieved the final qualifying scores he needed for a spot on the Barbados Team at the Pan Am Games in Santo Domingo. His previous qualifying scores were earned at Wellington, Florida. 

We are happy to have Wradar back home now at Woodridge Farm, where he is schooling Grand Prix with trainers Laurie Hedlund and Alf Athenstaedt.

Progeny:

Wradar is proving himself as a sire, producing many premium foals, most of whom are scoring 8 or more for movement.  (Check out the Highlights on the Home Page for this years foals results). The Champion colt at our inspections in 2001 was Wannabe, by Wradar out of Tequila (Frohwind), and in 2002 the Champion Colt was Wessex, also by Wradar and out of Double Feature(Baron).  We are looking forward to hearing from our clients as his first foal crops start competing under saddle.  In 2003, Wiebok, out of Wiebekin (Der Radetzky) was the high score FEI 5 year old at the Region 9 Championships at his first show and was 6th place at Training Level in the Southwest Dressage Championships. In 2004, Wingover by Wradar out of Katianne(Frohwind) was Region 9 Training Level Champion with 77% under owner, Ann Webber. He also has several offspring successfully competing in the hunter ring on the East Coast.
