About Wicca


Copyright © 2004 Mandi Hickman. All rights reserved.

Wicca is big boned and impressive, built solidly and uphill with a nice short back for dressage. She has a huge, powerful trot with lots of natural engagement and suspension. I absolutely love watching her move! Before her injury, we free jumped her twice and she showed great aptitude for that as well, easily jumping 3'6" on the first day. She came to us through our good friend, Randy Hickman, and was bred in KY by Kaleidoscope Farm. Randy, we can't thank you enough for our wonderful girl!!

Injury Update

In 2005, after only being under saddle for several months (and just recently bred to Yeager), we were crushed when Wicca suffered an unfortunate pasture accident that fractured her right hock in several places. The fractures were quite unusual in nature, so it is unknown how she did it or what her future limitations will be.

The good news is that she has recovered much better than expected, her hock looks great and she appears very sound. The vets are confident that she will be able to at least continue with some training on the flat in the future, but we must re-x-ray before we know if it would be wise to jump her again.

Foals
AERO - 2006 Buckskin Colt
Wicca's first foal, 'Aero' (buckskin colt by Yeager GF), was originally bred to be my own eventing and jumper prospect. He turned out to be all that we had hoped for and more, inheriting both of his parents' springy, uphill movement and sweet, playful attitudes.

ODIN - 2007 Chestnut Colt

Wicca's second foal, Odin (chestnut colt by Yeager GF), also shows the athleticism and impressive movement of his parents. He is going to be big and solid like his mom.

YUKON - 2008 Buckskin Colt
Our newest arrival is Yukon (buckskin colt by Yeager GF). Big and impressive, this fancy fellow is sure to be a talented athlete that will excel in any sporthorse discipline.

Bloodlines

Wicca's sire, 'Weltstern', is an extremely well bred Oldenburg stallion who was licensed and approved in Germany prior to his import and Oldenburg/ISR approved in the U.S.. Weltstern has offspring competing at FEI levels in both Jumping and Dressage, and his pedigree includes such prolific stallions as Ferdinand, Don Carlos, Furioso II and Absatz. His sire, 'WeltAs', was named the top producing dressage sire in both 1995 and 1996. WeltAs sired numerous quality offspring, the most well-known being 'Bonfire', the horse that Anky van Grunsven received the Individual Gold medal on in the 2000 Sydney Olympics (in Dressage).
