Hilken’s Black Delight is one of the most exciting German Riding Pony stallions available in Europe today.  He combines exceptional gaits, conformation and rideability, with a great talent for jumping, making him an ideal stallion for the production of both top class dressage and jumping ponies.
Hilken’s Black Delight became the Champion of the 2005 Weser-Ems Stallion Licensing, receiving both high praise from the licensing committee and standing ovations from the crowd. There he was described as being “as close to perfection as possible” and became the first pony stallion ever to be invited to the Oldenburg Stallion Parade.  He also became the Stallion Performance Test Champion (30 day test) in 2007, receiving an exceptional overall score of 8.71, including very high marks for paces, rideability, conformation, and jumping.

In 2007, he became Reserve Champion for 4-6 year old pony stallions at the National Stallion Show in Berlin, and Champion riding pony at Höven with an overall score of 8.7 (no score under 8 and three 9s).  He also became the Weser-Ems State Champion for 4 year old riding ponies with a final score of 8.8, beating 34 other ponies.

Hilken’s Black Delight’s pedigree combines some of the best lines in German Riding Pony breeding.  His sire, Branduardi M, was the winner of his Stallion Licensing, as well as of his Stallion Performance Test, with a final score of 8.85.  He later became Vice Bundeschampion and was the highest earning pony in sport of all 4 to 6 year olds at that time in Germany, being successful up to FEI-level dressage and jumping classes level L (about 4'2).  He was then sold to Denmark, where he immediately became a member of the national pony dressage team.

 

Black Delight's dam, St Pr St Syrah won the Weser-Ems Elite Mare Show in 2001, proclaiming her as the best mare of her year.  She qualified for the Bundeschampionat as a 3, 4 and 6-year-old and was Reserve Champion of her Mare Performance Test, beaten by her younger half-sister, Sophie. Syrah was successful up to FEI-dressage level, L-level jumper classes (about 4'2) and won the Weser-Ems Eventing Championships in 2004. This dam line has produced many licensed stallions, State Premium mares and successful sport ponies.

Progeny:

 

Hilken’s Black Delight produced an excellent and highly regarded first foal crop in 2007, having been very popular during his first season at stud. His foals were highly decorated at the studbook inspections, with several qualifying for the Foal Championships in Lienen.  His first foal to be born in the UK, Brandini, in 2007, is remarkable for his strength, fantastic topline, conformation, character, and promising gaits.  He was awarded a foal premium by the Oldenburg/Weser Ems Inspection committee during their tour of the UK in October 2007. Black Delight is in demand in Australia and America, as well as many European countries
