HORSES
​Leeghwater T
2016 KWPN Gelding
Governor x Ampere
"Lee" was imported by Shumacher Farms from The Netherlands in 2022. He is the first-born, bred from the FEI mare Hulana T, shown by Dutch Olympian Marlies Van Baalen. Lee is the sweetest, friendliest guy around the barn, and then turns on the power in the arena with his show-stopping movement. Katie has competed him up to Prix St. Georges, and he is such a fast learner that he is quickly moving up the levels.
Hortense Marie
2012 KWPN Mare
Connaisseur x Metall
Hortense Marie aka “Sia” is a very talented mare from The Netherlands. Katie brought her from small tour up to Grand Prix, and she was Katie's first Grand Prix horse. Sia is all heart, trying her best for every rider in every movement. She has a great knack for passage, and also loves to go on trail rides and explore new territory.
GREY HOPE
2003 Oldenburg Gelding
Granulit x Argentinus
​Grey has been owned by Katie since 2015. He has competed up through I1 and is currently schooling Grand Prix movements. Grey’s strength has always been his large showy canter and tempi changes--perhaps a carryover from his younger days in Germany and Sweden where he competed internationally as a show jumper at 1.30m!​
Grey is a perpetual barn favorite, and loves everyone (horses, humans, & dogs). With his performance still going strong, he is currently giving lessons as a schoolmaster and spending his days roaming the grass pastures of Shumacher Farms.

Trustfallana T
2023 KWPN Mare
Glock's Toto Jr. x Florencio I
Trustfallana was bred by Pieter Ton and is out of the same dam as Lee’s mother, Hulana T. We have been so impressed with Lee’s work ethic, trainability, and talent, that we were thrilled when we were able to add this stunning filly to the family!

Edouard
2021 Gelding
Escolar x Vivaldi
We bought Edouard as a foal because of his powerful hind leg, talent for suspension, and exciting cross of German and Dutch bloodlines. He has just been started under saddle and we’re very excited to see how he develops. His natural posture and movement and very exciting bloodlines make him a top prospect for the future.
Testkees DDL
2023 Colt
Jovian x Bretton Woods
Testkees was bred by Hilde Dekkers and is out of a top performance dam line. With his top quality movement and bloodlines, we can’t wait to see how he develops as he grows up.
MURRIETA ROCK SF (SOLD)
2017 KWPN Gelding
Indian Rock x Prestige VDL
Shumacher Farms purchased Murrieta Rock SF, barn name "Messi", as a three year old in the Netherlands in the summer of 2020. His sire, Indian Rock, was the champion of the KWPN licensing 2016 and a finalist at the World Championships for young dressage horses in 2018 with Emmelie Scholtens. Messi’s damsire, Prestige VDL, was champion of his stallion test in Sweden with scores of 10 for canter. His progeny are known for their unrivaled temperament and strong hind leg with a powerful canter.
Messi was sold in early 2022 to a wonderful new home in the US, we can't wait to see what he and his new owner will accomplish in the future!
