BENNO’S HIT

German Sport Pony Stallion, April 2000, 14.1 hh

Licensed with American Sport Pony Registry
(First Premium), American Paint Pony Registry

Top four finalist in the Sport Pony Star Search Challenge Cup at the Royal Winter Fair.

Benno’s Hit is an exceptional German Sport Pony stallion standing in Ontario, Canada. He was winner of “Best of Year” at the 2002 pony stallion inspections at Mecklenburg-Voorpommern, Germany. In 2004 he was awarded first premium with the American Sport Pony Registry and is an ASPR licensed stallion. He has also been accepted as an approved breeding stallion with the American Paint Pony Registry.

Benno’s Hit has a great disposition, excellent conformation, wonderful paces and form over fences. He received a score of 8 for his scope over fences at the ASPR inspection in April 2004. In June 2005 he was invited to participate in the Pony Dressage clinic with Cornelia Endres, National Trainer of German Pony Dressage Riders hosted by Lendon Gray. He received wonderful comments on his outstanding canter.

His first foal in Canada, from a quarantine test mare, received an ASPR score of 7.4 and was ASPR 2004 Reserve Futurity Champion in Eastern Canada. In 2005, his foal Bennington was ASPR high score foal in Canada (7.9) and was tied for second place in the USA.

Benno’s Hit is adding class, athleticism and substance when crossed with pony mares. He also crosses well with horse mares for owners who want to breed smaller horses but retain the warmblood appearance, disposition and movement. A cross to a 16.2 hh mare will produce a 15.2-15.3 hh offspring.
