He has a very well-balanced canter and does tempis and pirouettes for fun in the paddock. Simba is very flashy and has a look at me presence and charming character that win over everyone he meets.

Simba's dam, by Hohenstein, was purchased at the Hanoverian Elite Auction in Verden, Germany and was imported to be a competition horse and a foundation broodmare for Roseknoll. Her highly desirable bloodlines are known to consistently produce typiness, outstanding movement, superior rideability and temperament, and exceptional talent for collected work.

Stedinger, Simba's sire, was the unequivocal approval winner of the 2002 Oldenburg Stallion Days, where he displayed both his outstanding movement and superb jumping abilities and form. Stedinger is the sire of renowned young sons including Statesman, who in 2008 sold at the Oldenburg Elite Auction for the unprecedented price of e400,000 Euros.

Simba has inherited his dam's impeccable temperament and his sire's elasticity and freedom of shoulder, as well as the excellent movement of both parents. Simba loves people and has excellent ground manners. He is a perfect gentleman to work with: he leads, loads, stands quietly for the farrier and vet and to be clipped and bathed.

We have every expectation that Simba will excel in the show ring. Somewhat negotiable to an excellent home. Serious inquiries are welcome at holsteinsw1@aol.com.
