Humble brag…

At his licensing, Max earned an 8 for type, praised for his pretty face and correct German Riding Pony type, and an 8 for free jumping, noting his cleverness and style.

His walk shows a generous overstep, his canter is balanced and uphill, and his trot is nicely elevated with an active hind end. Combining strong sport pony genetics and a kind, willing temperament, Max is an invaluable addition to the breeding of Welsh sport ponies, German Riding Ponies, and quality sport crossbreds.

Max’s 2026 show season started with a successful run at WEC Ocala, where he competed in the low level jumpers, jumping four clean rounds that resulted in four ribbons.

Inquire About Custom Foals

“I was starting my journey of adding a second horse to the family and it made sense to purchase a foal from someone I knew. It was my first time buying a horse that young, and Katharina made the process was clear and smooth. The filly boarded at The Welcome Farm for several months after purchase, and I received regular photos and updates. She also made sure the filly was well prepared for transport when it was time to come home!”
