For Kicks at the 2009 AHS inspection at Hilton Farm.

During the AHS inspection on August 9, at Hilton Farm, For Kicks was quoted by a German rep from Hannoveraner Verband as a "well-developed filly from sire by For Pleasure combined with pedigree on mother's side. Very well, good combination. When you see the foals, the For Pleasure fillies, in Germany, you don't see so many For Pleasure foals like this in the exhibition form so its a very good combination. Very nice head, very well-developed neck for riding, good topline, movements very nice, elastic and very well balanced all the time"

Fuerst Aphrodite, our Fuerst Gotthard EMC mare, sold as a three-year-old, came back to us to foal a really nice colt by As di Volare on February 28! Hopefully, this will give her Elite status as soon as said colt is branded!

On April 24, one day plus one year after foaling last year on the 23rd, MS Kleopatra R produced a big, gorgeous, athletic filly by For Play, the For Pleasure son recently imported from Germany and standing in California. Good AHS Jumper Program stuff!
