Hanoverian breeders should take note that this is one of the last daughters of Glorioso Noir; this mare is well bred on both the top and bottom of her pedigree which brings valuable G-line blood close up through her sire, Glorioso Noir, and also through her damline. In total Glimmer's pedigree goes back to Goldfisch II eight times, and includes famous Goldfisch II descendants such as Grosse Liebe, Grundstein I, Goldstern, Gotthard, Grande, and Graphit. Her dam also brings in notable bloodlines such as Regazzoni, Rubinstein I, Davignon I, Donnerhall, Pik Bube I, Werther, and Argentan I. 

Both of Glimmers parent's were unusually unflappable and intelligent, and she is very much the same. She is full of curiosity, playfulness, and self esteem, and she adores attention from her humans. She is a large framed mare with a powerful hip, long legs with good bone. Her gaits are powerful, but also comfortable to ride. As a breeding candidate she has the potential to be a phenomenal broodmare bringing a strong G-line foundation to compliment well with the popular modern stallions of today.

She was gently started when she turned 4 years old and has now finished 7 months of professional training. She is quick learner and is eager to learn more, but is still green. She will be best suited for a confident rider as she is very in-tune to her rider/handler, and can be occasionally pushy on the ground if not reminded with a firm hand. She bonds very strongly to her people so would prefer she went to a long(ish) term home.

She has a cosmetic blemish on the front of her left hock from a cut she sustained in fall 2023. X-rays of both hocks available on request.

HERITAGE

SIRE: Glorioso Noir had suspended gaits and excellent conformation that made him equally talented for dressage and jumping. He completed his 100-day stallion testing in Germany and finished in 11th place out of 40 stallions, placing equally well in both dressage and jumping. Among the highlights of his scores were an 8.0 on character, temperament and willingness to work, and constitution. He received an 8.0 on jumping ability and an 8.0 on his trot. Glorioso competed in the young horse dressage classes as well as in the hunters and jumpers with a junior rider. He was the 2007 AHS Regular Working Hunter Champion. Shown in the FEI 5-Year-Old Young Horse Dressage classes. Awarded top ribbons in the rated hunter and jumper divisions at AA shows.

GRANDSIRE: Glorieux was 1st in his performance testing 1989 at Adelheidsdorf, scoring 139.03 in dressage and 114.98 in jumping. Glorieux has produced many elite auction horses and show winners. At the stallion performance test Glorieux caused quite a stir because of his outstanding results in nearly every aspect, scoring 9 or better 8 times. His show career was also successful winning the Oldenburg Championship in Rastede in 1988, the german riding horse Championship in 1988 and went to stud unbeaten in conformation classes in 1989.

DAM: Rea's pedigree is an impressive mix of top dressage sires with a splash of influential jump sires to add some versatility. Perhaps most noteworthy is Rea's dam's production record. EM Dulcinee produced 11 offspring with at least two competing  to the the FEI level of dressage, two champion foals, and several elite mares, including Rea who scored a 7,22 in her MPT. 

DAMSIRE: Regazzoni is by Rubinstein I out of the great Werther mare Wakonda.  His legendary sire has strongly influenced this era of sport horse breeding and passes on rideability, trainability and elegance.  Regazzoni's damsire, Werther, is equally influential. At his 100-day-test in 1994, Regazzoni scored an outstanding 152.16 points including perfect 10's for temperament and rideability, traits which he readily passes on to his offspring. His dressage index alone was 140.53 confirming him as the highest scoring stallion out of the 52 other stallions at the Munster-Handorf site. In 1995, Regazzoni was federal vice-champion German riding horse in Warendorf and in 1996, he won the finals of the German five-year old dressage championships. He has 13 licensed sons and an integrated dressage index by the German FEI of 133 points. In Germany he consistently produced long legged elegant offspring that have been very successful at breed inspections and in the dressage arena. 

DAM DAMSIRE: Davignon I is considered to be one of Donnerhall’s best sons, having earned Class I scores at his licensing in 1991 before going on to win the Bundeschampionat in 1992. Exceptional presence and lofty movement put Davignon into the limelight of Germany’s producers from the very start of his career. Davignon developed into a highly successful Grand Prix dressage stallion. However, it is Davignon's offspring that give him true international status. Davignon was one of Europe's most sought-after stallions. Nine offspring of Davignon represented him in the 1998 Bundeschampionat in Warendorf; it is prestigious for a stallion to be represented by even a single offspring in this annual event! In 1997, Duvalier (Davignon-Bolero-Wendekreis) proudly claimed the championship title for his father in both the German and European Championships for five-year old dressage prospects. 

THE G-LINE: From the Hanoverian Verband website:

​"No other stallion line is that much associated with performance than the one of the Goldammer II/Flugfeuer II-son Goldfisch II. Through his progeny Grande and Gotthard, he has added properties such as work ethic, power, toughness and expression to this stallion line. Wherever our horses have to perform at the highest level, wherever it is getting tough, this bloodline can be found in the pedigree. G-blood is a necessity. 

​The blood stands for properties such as energy, willingness to perform and – above all – for the physical capacity and stability to accomplish extraordinary performances. It would be desirable to start re-establishing these properties even more in our breed by using G-bloodlines. This was the intention of the Hannoveraner Verband when it launched its G-initiative in 2007, targeting on increasing breeder’s attention on performance properties and thus boosting breeding rates of stallions from this bloodline...

The Hanoverian sport horse breed is inseparably linked with the G-bloodline. And this will not change in the future."  ​
