For Pleasure

PEDIGREE:

For Pleasure finished his career with staggering lifetime earnings of Euro 1.8 million. For Pleasure has contributed to four championship victories over the last eight years of his career with the German Showjumping team, and four times has won team gold. At the 1996 Games with Lars Nieberg, at the 2000 Games with Marcus Ehning and at two European Championships – Hickstead and Donaueschingen. At Donaueschingen, he carried Marcus Ehning to his first individual medal – a bronze. With both riders, he won 75 S-level classes, winning his last Grand Prix at the age of eighteen – at the Liepzig round of the World Cup, where he won the class over a massive course (“the highest track I have ever jumped with him indoors” said rider, Marcus Ehning) to beat Frenchman, Jean Marc Nicolas and Modesto. In For Pleasure’s stallion test he starred in the jumping where he had the top mark of 145.95. He is sire of many sires and has very successful offspring.

For Play’s Dam Line is the famous Accord II, 100 Day Test champion, and contains no close Cor de la Bryere or Landgraf blood. He received a “9″ on type and “8′s” on both front and hind legs; a score seldom seen. He also scored 9.5 to 10 for showjumping, and 9 to 9.67 for rideability. His overall score was 146.04 scoring 138.26 in dressage and 148.47 in jumping. Acord II has produced more than 40 stallion sons, one of the more famous is Broere VDL Atlantic, who was the Six Year Old Jumping Champion at the 1999 Bundeschampionate with Ulrich Kirchhoff. As of 2003, Acord II produced 60 dressage competitors and 404 jumpers (52 to advanced level) for winnings of 736,475 euros. Acord II’s entry in the Hanoverian Studbook includes the comment: “His first foals are impressive with a strong, correct conformation and above average floating movements.” Accord II is widely regarded as an important contributor in Europe. He was the leading sire for mares bred in Germany after winning many important shows.

FOR PLAY is so versatile! This stallion is poetry in motion. View his videos, please, as words cannot describe his abilities. You can see him as a jumper in Germany, as well recently in Southern California competing in Hunters. We hope you can someday see him perform in person but until then enjoy the following videos.
