About Tackman’s Candyman: Tackmann's Candyman started his career off with a bang, being crowned Champion stallion at the Hessian licensing in 2013. This classy stallion has a fabulous career with many international successes in sport. As a young pony in Germany he placed at the Bundeschampionat and was later crowned Dutch 5yo Pony Champion. Named to the Dutch pony squad, he shone in numerous well-known international tournaments with scores as high as 76.67% and was the 4th most successful FEI Pony in Holland in 2019. He was also a reservist for the Dutch team at the European Championships in Poland. In 2019 he was ranked as high as 9th in the FEI Pony World Rankings

So far he has 3 offspring, all mares and all of which have been awarded the coveted title of State Premium. Including the Champion mare Capri vM.

About Vr.Pr.St. Lilly Lyra N: Lyra was purchased by CGF in partnership with Branley Ash Sportponies as a recently imported weanling. She has spent the last several years growing up in Canada.

In June of her 3rd year, she began under saddle training with Emma from Lordy Dressage, Ontario Canada. In September, she was presented to Westfalen NA for the Mare Performance test (MPT) and acceptance into the mare breeding book. Not only was she accepted, she was awarded PREMIUM status, enabling her to be titled. So exciting for a mare so young and green under saddle.

Lyra is sired by Numerus Clauses, a top young pony stallion bred in Germany, now residing in Australia. He was awarded the Champion Premium Licensed stallion of 2016 with a stunning score of 10 for his trot.  It is very rare at a 2 1/2 yr old licensing to have all five judges award a score of 10; really quite remarkable.  Judges said they had never seen a stallion trot in such an elastic and spectacular fashion, yet remain so relaxed and well behaved.

Lyra’s dam is States Premium mare, Hesselteichs Lilyfee II, a top producer of ponies in Germany. Lyra is her 2nd daughter to be awarded Premium status from the Verband. Lillyfee’s sire is pony jumping legend Lucky Lao II, bringing the critical combination of dressage and jumping lines together.
