🌟 A Weekend of Success for Delcina and her Team! 🌟

Congratulations to Delcina (Dauphin x Santerina/Schwarzenegger) and her talented rider Kerri-Lyn Corry on an outstanding weekend at Dressage at Deep Run! 🐴✨

The pair delivered two impressive rides in the Open Second Level division:

🥇 Friday | Second Level Test 1 – Open
Delcina and Kerri-Lyn earned 1st place with an excellent 66.429%, and their performance also earned them the Daily High Score for Second Level! 🏆

🥈 Saturday | Second Level Test 1 – Open
They followed up with another strong performance, placing 2nd with an even higher score of 67.714%! 👏

What a wonderful display of consistency, partnership, and progress throughout the weekend. Congratulations to Kerri-Lyn and Delcina on these well-deserved results! And a HUGE shout out to her team including Delcina's owner Patricia "Brent" Pusey and her breeder Ruth Hanselpacker. 💙🤍

We’re proud to celebrate this Hanoverian team and their continued success in the dressage arena! 🌟🐎

🥇 Golden Moment for Hanoverian Excellence! 🥇

Congratulations to the accomplished and brilliant Kate Shoemaker and the outstanding Hanoverian mare Vianne (Vitalis x Raureif/Ramior's Bube) on capturing Individual Gold in the FEI Para Grand Prix Test A – Grade IV at the 2026 FEI Para Dressage World Championships in Aachen, Germany!

With a breathtaking personal-best score of 78.889%, USA's Kate and Vianne not only claimed the world championship title but also set a new Grade IV FEI Para Grand Prix Test A world record—an extraordinary achievement on the sport's biggest stage.

Bred for excellence in the US, Vianne, a 2016 Hanoverian mare, continues to showcase the exceptional athleticism, rideability, and heart that define the Hanoverian breed.

The American Hanoverian Society proudly celebrates Kate, Vianne, and everyone who has been part of this remarkable journey. Your dedication, partnership, and pursuit of excellence inspire our entire community.

🏅 Congratulations on this unforgettable World Championship victory! 🐴✨

- For the creative person, make a gift basket of horse goodies for a child’s grooming kit
- Gift certificates from online tack stores, equestrian clothing and even feed stores are a HUGE hit
- Any Equestrian Services

A wonderful day at Fall Creek Farm! 🐴

The American Hanoverian Society extends a heartfelt thank you to Alisa Lask for graciously hosting another successful AHS Inspection at Fall Creek Farm. We truly appreciate your hospitality and your continued support of the Hanoverian and Rhineland breeding community.

Congratulations to Alisa on an outstanding day with her horses! Chasing Carats (Chaccothage Blue PS x Roslin/Imothep) earned the distinction of Gold Medal Foal, while her mare Roslin (Imothep x Pellegrina/Pablo) was named the Top Non-Hanoverian Mare bred by Stacy Steiner.

We also extend our congratulations to Michael Kvistad and Rachel Long owners of Dia Diva (Diablue PS x Ondina/Cassini I), who was awarded Top Foal of the inspection and also achieved Gold Medal Foal honors. Dia Diva was bred by Alisa Lask.

Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, and attended. We look forward to seeing everyone again at the next stop on the 2026 AHS Inspection Tour! 🐎
