Horse Information

2004 16.3hh Bay Oldenburg Mare

Sire: Araconit

Dam: Felicitas (For Pleasure - Argentan I)


This mare has a lovely disposition to match her good looks and excellent movement. Her bloodline speaks for itself. Xanadu has it all and is an incredible addition to our broodmare stock.

Her sire Araconit is a gifted sport horse with almost unlimited abilities and refined technique. He knows more to do with his basic paces than pure dressage horses. As a sire Araconit is living up to all expectations and his progeny are winning competitors and excellent stud stock.

Her dam sire For Pleasure was a Hanoverian horse who competed in international show jumping under riders Lars Nieburg and Marcus Ehning. He won numerous Grand Prix events during his unusually long career, from which he was retired in 2006 at the age of 20. His dam's line is a collection of prominent sires of show-jumpers and the breeding to Furioso II added sought after refining French blood. A breeding which matched. For Pleasure passed his performance test at Medingen as winner in the jumping test with 145.95 points. Afterwards he was trained by Hans-Jürgen Giebel. In 1993 the then seven-year-old celebrated his first win in an open jumper class and became Lower-Saxony Champion. With his new rider Lars Nieberg, For Pleasure's spectacular international career began in 1994. As of 2004, For Pleasure has sired of 16 approved breeding stallions through and 169 sporthorses.



Xanadu has been approved by the American Holsteiner Horse Association, designated as Premium Mare with a score of 48.
