Windfall Sold to the United States
The
Trakehner stallion and Reiter Revue Horse of the Year
2000 "Windfall" has been sold to the United
States. Owners Wolfgang and Christa Diehm of the Gestut
Hoerstein sold their prestigious black licensed stallion
to the American Trakehner breeding station "New Spring Farm", owned by Timothy Holekamp.
Eventing rider Darren Chiacchia will be trying for the
2004 Olympic Games with this horse.
The sale came as a big surprise to Windfall's steady
rider Ingrid Klimke. "I was offered Windfall as
a four year old and thanks to my training he was turned
into a Olympic
A-frame German Eventing Team member. I am quite devastated
to lose such a personality, but there are two sides
to all things. I hope Windfall will rise to stardom
again in the United States," Klimke commented.
