2012 will be a heavy season of breeding for HS Wistar and a time to get back into shape. In 2011 Jennifer took time off to have her bay girl, miss London Alexis aka "Lexi" and she is now back to riding and training. The pair hope to return to the Grand Prix arena by Summer's end. 2010 we saw HS Wistar and his long time trainer Jennifer Williams off to Europe as they were the recipients of the Anne L. Barlow Ramsay grant awarded by the Dressage Foundation.

Jennifer S. Williams Awarded $25,000 Anne L. Barlow Ramsay Grant From the Dressage Foundation

January 14, 2010

The Dressage Foundation has announced that Jennifer S. Williams, of Yelm, Washington, has received the 2010 "Anne L. Barlow Ramsay Annual $25,000 Grant." The purpose of the Grant, established at The Dressage Foundation, is to showcase talented American-bred horses ridden by United States citizens, by providing money to train and compete in Europe.

"Jennifer's dedication, qualifications, and desire to gain international experience impressed the Selection Committee," said Jenny Johnson, Administrative Manager of The Dressage Foundation. "The Dressage Foundation is proud to provide her and her horse, H.S. Wistar, the funding to help showcase an American-bred horse in the international arena," she said.

Jennifer and her Hungarian Warmblood, H.S. Wistar will be training with Catherine Haddad in Germany during the Fall of 2010. The team will compete at the Oldenburg CDI and the Odense CDI. "Training and competing in Europe will give Wistar and me experience in how the European show system works, will give us experience with larger crowds and venues and will help acclimate us to the highest level of competition - international competition," Jennifer said. "The Anne L. Barlow Ramsay Grant will allow me to experience and learn from competing abroad, something I only dreamed about before the award."

Dr. Anne Barlow Ramsay (FL) established a Charitable Remainder Unitrust in 1999. She worked with John Boomer, then President and CEO of The Dressage Foundation. "The remainder funds were designated to come to The Dressage Foundation in 2009," said Boomer, "and now her sizable fund will yield the $25,000 grant annually well out into future years."

"Dr. Ramsay is a Renaissance woman -- a wife, mother, medical doctor, business executive, volunteer, world-traveler and equestrienne," said John Boomer. He added, "In 2009, Dr. Ramsay established a second Charitable Remainder Unitrust, with the remainder funds again coming to The Dressage Foundation in 2019, to continue her schedule of $25,000 annual grants far out into the future years." Boomer concluded, "Anne Ramsay's creative, distinctive gift is remarkable for its longevity -- it will be helping Dressage riders and American bred horses for a very long time to com

In 2009 the pair returned home from 5 weeks of training with Olympian and 2009 FEI Rolex winner Steffen Peters. Wistar continues to get stronger every year and had many solid performances at the Grand Prix level achieving scores into the 70 percentile. He was able to compete successfully in three California based competitions and was received well at the Dressage Affaire competition held in Del Mar, CA at the show park venue. Jennifer continued to also compete locally in WA and Oregon. The pair were the Region 6 Great American Grand Prix Champions at year's end.

2008 was the first year Jennifer and Wistar worked with Steffen Peters. Wistar had many successful first outings at Grand Prix while in CA. He finished a strong 6th place at the CDI Festival of the Horse in Los Angeles, March of 08 scoring a 66% from "O" Judge Linda Zang.

Wistar competed in California in 2006 in High Performance at Intermediar-II with many wins and qualified for the Brentina Cup finals held in Gladstone, New Jersey. Jennifer and Wistar went in and received 4th place honors against the top Young Adult riders in the United States. Wistar has been praised from some of the top World Class Coaches and they are looking forward to seeing Jennifer and Wistar compete at the International Level.

Congratulations to our Champions- Jennifer and Wistar.
In 2005 HS Wistar competed in High Performance with the 25 year old Jennifer Schrader-Williams at the reins where they competed against some of the top Dressage Riders in the Unites States. They came home with many wins and Championship trophies. The Dressage Festival of Champions was located in Gladstone, New Jersey where Jennifer and Wistar placed 4th respectively in the Intermediare One against some of the nations top rider's including Steffen Peters, Shannon Peters and Jane Hannigan.

Because Wistar comes from such strong mare lines as Marado and Phirst Solo, Wistar's get tend to inherit their father's strong topline and length of hip--giving them superior thrust from behind. His foals in general possess their father's kind disposition, athletic ability and trainable minds.

Pedigree
Wistar's breeder, Charlene Summers believes that the two outstanding mare lines that produced HS Wistar are "a gift from God." H. Marado was Charlene's foundation mare and "the most beautiful horse I've ever seen", says Charlene. Wistar's sire, Wishes and Dreams combined the blood of the famous Weltmeyer with Charlene's other great mare, Phirst Solo who was also a Grand Prix champion. Solo and Jennifer also attended Gladstone, New Jersey's Festival of Champions in 2005 where they finished 9th in the US at the Grand Prix level. Solo achieved scores into the 70 percentile in her long dressage career.
