American-bred PRE from Hampton Green Farm Tops Young Horse Classes in Germany
This summer, Jasmine Schaudt and her PRE Stallion Icono HGF have started a small revolution in the FEI Five Year Old classes in Southern Germany. In three separate shows from July through September, three panels of judges have placed Jasmine and Icono in First or Second place, with scores up to 8.2% in classes of over 20 horses, including former Four Year Old and Five Year Old champions of the Trakhener and German Young Horse circuits. Jasmine, wife of German Gold Medalist Martin Schaudt, is the rider and trainer of both Icono HGF (Idilio II x Escapada) and Genio HGF (Grandioso III x Ibiza), two five year old PREs purchased by Martin in 2006 in Michigan when both horses were still at their dam's sides. Genio is a full brother to Robert Dover's 2008 Fiero HGF.
