2025 Hanoverian Gelding

Sunday NRW x Candle Pins (TB)

Salute FC is a striking young Hanoverian prospect with the size, temperament, and pedigree to excel in sport while remaining a joy to handle.

Expected to mature 16.3–17hh, he is already showing plenty of leg, presence, and athleticism. Despite his size, he is remarkably sensible and easygoing. His favorite activity is simply being loved on—he’s the first to meet you at the fence and happily soaks up scratches, kisses, and attention.

Raised on a busy family farm, Salute is accustomed to toddlers, chickens, dogs, tractors, and everyday activity. His pasture borders a popular walking trail, where he has become a local favorite. Friendly, curious, and unflappable, he’s a true horse diplomat who enjoys meeting visitors and takes new experiences in stride.

Pedigree

By Sunday NRW, sire of SenSation FOD, the accomplished dressage horse partnered with Olympic rider Laura Graves. This sire line is known for producing athletic, rideable horses with excellent temperaments.

Out of Candle Pins (TB), an American Hanoverian Society-approved Thoroughbred mare who was the highest-scoring non-Hanoverian mare at her inspection and approval. Known for her exceptional temperament, substantial size, and quality movement, Candy has already produced successful hunter offspring and consistently passes along athleticism, presence, and an outstanding mind.

Big enough to get noticed, kind enough to be everyone’s favorite.
