WIND STAR at Deep Run Hunt Club "A" Show prior to coming to Virginia Tech. Photo courtsey of Al Cooke.

WIND STAR is a beautiful Oldenburg mare who came into our broodmare band in late 2002. She was a successful show horse in the 3'6" and 3'9" hunter arena prior to her donation. Wind Star's sire Wendepunkt, a Hanoverian stallion, was awarded the American Breeder's Award at Dressage at Devon. His daughter Wendemere was Best Young Horse at Devon in 1987. In 1988, the Wendepunkt daughter Winsome was Champion Young Horse at Devon. Wendepunkt is a granson of Ferdinand, sire of 1960 Olympic Gold Medal in Show Jumping winner Ferdl. The dam sire of Wendepunkt was the immortal Absatz. With 40 approved sons, he is highly credited with being the progenitor for the beauty and gaits of the modern Hanoverian.
