Decadence
Decadence is by the 17.2 hand Oldenburg Dynamotion (by the imported D-line Hannoverian and Oldenburg Verband stallion Dynamic) out of the 16.1 hand black Hannoverian x Thbd mare Autobahn (by Almaden).1996 black-bay, 16.1+hh, Hanoverian/Oldenburg  
(This photo and the video clips available here are from Decadence's first ride back to work on October 6th, after six months of maternity leave, straight out of the field with her 4 week-old filly, Just Before Dark. Rider is 13 year old Wylie Ahl.)  Decadence is an elegant and very powerfully built mare with three beautiful gaits and superb jumping form. Like her dam, Autobahn, Decadence is a naturally 'round' horse who goes easily on the bit or happily in hunter-style and works with natural rhythm and self-carriage. Along with her big, ground-covering gaits, she shows impeccable form over the bigger fences (over the little stuff she doesn't make much effort). She is enormously people-oriented; she trots to you at liberty for the pleasure of your company and will follow you anywhere without halter or lead. She is child-safe to handle and ride (although she could -and would- drag ten strong men to the nearest carrot), is excellent on trails alone or in company and, definitely has an 'amateur' temperament. She is fun to ride: forward, sane, un-spooky, and full of 'joie de vie'.    Deca free-jumping 4'  Decadence's dam, Autobahn, was ranked 5th place for all AWS Mature Mares in ‘00, and Decadence’s half-siblings, Auspicious and Automatik, out of Autobahn, have been AWS Inspection Silver, Inspection Gold, and AWS Year-End National Gold and Bronze Medal winners, as well as USDF Regional Year End High Score Gold Medalist. Her youngest half-brother, Audacious, out of Autobahn, is standing at stud in Utah.
