Please join us in wishing a Happy 3rd Birthday to Cefira, a talented Zangersheide jumping mare owned by Megan Paget-Brown. Cefira is by Casquino out of HPM Grafite N' Lace, a champion jumping mare who achieved the highest jumping score in the 2023 USA Hanoverian Mare Performance Test and is now starting her jumping career with Megan, a very capable jumper rider/owner.

Cefira is truly coming into her own and will be quite a marvel. She was quietly started under saddle over the winter and is now working on her dressage foundation and has been occasionally schooled through the free jumps (very impressive).

Cefira is shown here in goofy birthday garb (we just can't help ourselves), a bit of mud stains from the overnight rainstorms and with her favorite HVH Trainer, Naomi Eriksen. Photos taken by Cefira's favorite HVH Caregiver, Jasmine Dunnell.

New Video of DeLaurienne HVH! Exceptional 5yo Dressage Mare Offered to a Dressage Performance Home

DeLaurienne HVH is a talented 16.1H Liver Chestnut Hanoverian Premium Mare. She was bred for dressage with a pedigree by Dancier (DeNiro) x USEF Young Horse Dressage Champion HPM Rebellienne HVH (Rotspon). DeLaurienne successfully passed her Hanoverian Mare Performance Test at age 3, produced an exceptional Hanoverian filly by Everdale at age 4 and is now schooling 1st level dressage in preparation for her dressage performance career.

DeLaurienne is a gorgeous 5 year old mare who offers a ton of natural suspension and cadence in every gait, with a beautiful front leg and a very correct driving hind leg. She has a wonderful character and is indifferent to the environment, oozing presence and class wherever she goes. She is very responsive, adjustable and pleasantly sensitive to the rider, and withgh her correct and expressive gaits, will be a joy to develop and show off in the arena.

DeLaurienne is offered to a dressage performance home. She is schooling for the winter season with her trainer, Olivia Lynch, in Loxahatchee, FL. Full set of Xrays are available. Interested parties may contact:

It is not yet officially Spring, but sure felt like it this weekend. So... we took the opportunity to introduce the recently backed three year olds to group hacks in the Training Meadow. Here is a video of Cefira, Inspiration HVH, Louisa HVH, Poppy and Romeo on their very 1st out of the arena hack. They were supported by trail masters, Song of the South HVH (aka Feather) and Miss Liberty HVH (aka Liberty). And a huge shout out to HVH Team Naomi Eriksen, Kat Gay, Jasmine Dunnell and client team member, Kim Faist (Poppy's owner).

At High Valley Hanoverians we are Developing Warmblood Athletes in the Mind & the Body. You are welcome to follow our progress here. We also have a couple of training spots for young warmbloods for initial starting and dressage foundation training or for young mares to prepare for their Mare Performance Testing.

Not that we are planning to show the 2 year olds any time soon, but since the USEF requires bridles at this age, the HVH Training Games includes orienting the young 2 yo's to lower their poll and quietly accept a bit.

HVH Trainer, Naomi Eriksen shown in these photos during a bridling training session this past week. Naomi's love of these youngsters and her patience is truly remarkable. Great Job!

So True! Is it April yet?

HVH Cold Weather Update! During inclement weather we repurpose our arena training time to "Training Games" for horses of all ages. This past week the entire herd has been practicing "Ears Up!” and poll release AND...... the 2024 youngsters (now “Yearlings”) became immersed in target training. Teaching the youngsters to touch a line of soccer targets on the ground will ultimately lead to them learning to self-load in the trailer later this month.

From the smiles on the faces of HVH Trainers, Kat Gay, Jasmine Dunnell and Naomi Eriksen, I think the trainers enjoyed the Training Games as much as the “littles”

Here are some of our favorite pics of the HVH horses playing in the 8" of snow we received on Friday. Feeling blessed that we retained power, horses are all healthy and happy and we had lots of hay and cocoa to keep the horses and team warm from the inside out.

Big shout out HVH Team members Naomi Eriksen and Kat Gay for the awesome support of these wonderful horses of all ages and for taking the time to also shoot some heartwarming photos!.
