Overview

As partners in breeding, Harmony Sporthorses and Hengststation Pape were determined to find a new treasure to add to their collection of top class breeding and performance stallions. Knowing that one has to react when the time is right, the golden hour arrived at the 2011 Hanoverian Fall Elite Auction.

 

The three-year old Hanoverian stallion Lemony’s Nicket had already met considerable success under rider Thomas Scholtz with an important victory at Verden where he was titled Champion 3-year old Hanoverian stallion. He later convincingly won the 2011 German Bundeschampionat, again under Thomas Scholtz. Auction rider Melanie Wienand soon took over the reins and beautifully prepared him for the Hanoverian Fall Elite Auction, where in October of 2011, Harmony Sporthorses acquired this young gem for a record price. Tears of joy flowed for Ingo and Susan Pape over the opportunity to add such an incredible individual to their stallion line-up. “We are infinitely grateful to our partners at Harmony Sporthorses for the opportunity to have such a stallion in our lives.”

The team at Hengststation Pape prepared Lemony’s Nicket for his 30-day-test in Schliekau, Germany. He completed the test with excellent scores earning 9.5 for character and a perfect 10 on his walk plus a score of 9.25 for his trot and an 8.75 for his canter. He earned a very respectable score of 7.5 for his jumping ability. Having won the Bundeschampionat and the coveted title Champion Hanoverian, Lemony’s successful 30-day test was sufficient to earn his final breeding license.

Over the 2012 breeding season, Lemony’s Nicket successfully bred a large group of mares, proving his fertility to be excellent. His management team chose to give him a quiet year after all the pressures he met as a three year old. He blossomed in this quiet year and comes into 2013 ready to perform.

Lemony’s Nicket is a very special individual—one of those rare creatures whose natural quality and expression establishes a whole new standard. He is an absolute standout on every criteria as a top stallion—quality of movement, natural athleticism and expression, beauty, character, rideability, and his kind, personable nature. We eagerly anticipate his first foal crop in 2013 and await continued success on every platform for this marvelous stallion.
