| Horse Description |
|
Wendig is a registered
Canadian Warmblood gelding
standing at 16.3hh. Chestnut
with a star and connected
stripe with fore and hind socks.
His sire Warkanson is a modern
Hanoverian Stallion with
excellent conformation and
elegant movement. His
world-reknowned bloodlines
give him the genetics to show
natural talent for all
disciplines.
Warkanson' sire WARKANT earned
the prestigious award of
"Hanoverian Stallion Of The
Year 2002" due to the
outstanding performance of his
offspring at the highest level
of dressage.
Warkanson's dam sire, Esprit,
became famous through
producing many internationally
competitive jumpers (eg. E.T.
ridden by Hugo Smith).
Warkanson was imported into
Canada in 1998. He is one of
only four stallions in all of
Western Canada approved for
breeding by the German
Hanoverian Association, the
association with the strictest
selection protocol worldwide.
Warkanson's foal inherit his
wondeful movement and temperament.

Wendig has lifetime
registrations with the United
States Dressage Federation.
Wendig has been shown
dressage, at this time we are
uncertain of his level of
training.
Wendig has severe athritis in
his front right knee, and
xrays show that he "may" have
had a fracture at the back of
his knee around 18 months to 2
years ago. It is difficult to
tell and we have no history on
Wendig at this time. The
athritis is now being
maintained through joint
supplements and plenty of
turnout. There is bone being
laid down on the lateral
exterior of his right front
and consequently, we
anticipate his ringbone will
get worse.
The vet has suggested that
Wendig has around a 2 year
upper level dressage career
remaining and after that,
perhaps just a trail horse or
basic lesson horse.
He has a wonderful
personality, very loving and
sweet. He is a big horse
though and as he tends to want
lots of hugs and cuddles,
probably is not best suited
for a frail or timid owner!!
His feet had been horribly
neglected when he arrived at
Harmony and he is scared of
the farrier. We did have to
mildly sedate him for his
first trim, but this is
something we are going to
continue on working with until
the shoeing becomes no
problem. He is very sore in
the soles of his feet and we
plan to rebuild the hoof wall
enough to put shoes on him ...
we will be putting on shoes
that are built up higher on
one side to combat the bone
deposits on the right front leg.
Wendig was easy to load into
the trailer, he loves to be
groomed and bathed. He really
is just a huge puppy dog with
a personable and fun character.
Devon will begin his
retraining and exercise
program and will give an
updated evaluation at such
time. So far, he has been
quiet, willing and kind under
saddle. He is responsive with
great brakes! He has obviously
been well trained and well
loved in the past .. it is
very sad that this incredible
warmblood with such
outstanding bloodlines should
end up at a rescue and
rehabilitation facility. We
have discovered that "Diggs"
is definitely happiest when
out on a trail - so a family
offering a home as a trail
horse/family friend will
definitely be our preferred
choice :-)
Without his leg injury, this
horse would be sold around
$15,000 - $20,000.
This horse will only be
adopted out to an exceptional
home.
Photographs and Video
available for serious
enquiries only. Please note,
we do inspect all prospective
foster homes and will ask for
references from your vet,
farrier and boarding facility.
This is to ensure the ultimate
welfare for our horses for the
rest of their years.
As with all of our "kids" here
at Harmony - no horse is ever
for sale through a fault of
their own. All proceeds from
the sale or adoption of our
horses are directed entirely
back to our rescue horses.
Horse transportation is
available for $1.75 per mile
within the state of Florida.
