Horses for Sale - Stallion Prospects > WENDIGO LS Three Year Olds (9) 20250216_184707 20250309_125323 Three Year Olds (9) 1/6 WENDIGO LS 2021 Chestnut stallion by WATCHAMACALLIT LS by WATCHMAN (TB) WENDIGO LS is an interesting horse as he is out of a mare by frozen semen hanoverian sire WODAN out of VOGUE LS who is by a VOLTAIRE II colt that stood for a half season only - the Voltaire bloodline that has proven to be an asset in the mare lines. His was broken in by Stefanie Egger in January who commented as follows. "Brilliant natural canter and jump. Very confident and friendly character! As of right now certainly a horse I'd recommend to keep as a stallion and use for breeding if he develops according to the great potential he is showing at the moment!" BLOODLINES WATCHAMACALLIT LS was an outstanding stallion by the stakes winning TB sire WATCHMAN. WATCHAMACALLIT LS is a superb jumping talent - he has an amazing quick action with his front legs keeping them well away from the jump. While extravagant in the air he gives over the jumps, he is still keen and showed no hesitation in the loosejumping. He is bold, careful and really tucks up those knees - all the things you need to produce top horses for eventing and jumping. Remember, he is 3/4 thoroughbred so has that "blood" that the overseas riders have found valuable in their top jumping horses. WATCHMAN was a top racehorse with 10 wins from 1200 to 2450m including 2 Stakes wins & Aus $147,000. He was a very athletic horse with beautiful paces and excellent muscling. His pedigree is impeccable including AGRICOLA (dam sire of Brilliant Invader the sire of WEG Champion Eventer READY TEDDY and is of interest recently as the sire of the dam of NZ’s showjumper of the moment, DELPHI who placed 6th = in the World Cup finals) and to top NZ thoroughbred broodmare sire ONCIDIUM. A real bonus is that his female (bottom) line traces directly back to MAUREEN who was the dam of FURIOSO xx - acknowledged as the most influential TB sire used in warmblood breeding in Europe. His pedigree includes a similar cross of Precipitation as the great Furioso xx but with the added value of Hyperion in the dam line as well. The dam of WENDIGO LS is FABERGE LS who is by the frozen semen hanoverian sire WODAN by WINNETOU. WODAN jumped at top level in Europe in the 1980s and sold to the USA. WODAN was bred on the same cross as the phenomenal WITZBOLD who produced most of NZ's top dressage horses in the 1980s & 1990s. Faberge's dam was VOGUE LS who was a grand-daughter of NZ based VOLTAIRE II a valuable bloodline in mares at stud. VOGUE LS was a tall attractive mare that showed great jumping ability but was retained at stud for breeding.

WATCHMAN - NZ Thoroughbred WATCHMAN did not live long enough to be a major influence on the Longspring bloodlines. WATCHMAN arrived at the stud in his early twenties. He is important however as the sire of WATCHAMACALLIT LS and again contributes successful performance genes to the mix. WATCHMAN was a top racehorse and won over $145,000 including 2 stakes races.

His dam has produced the talent dressage horse ??? With ??? We can expect this horse with his jumping pedigree to be a top eventing prospect. BLOODLINES DARKMINSTER by DISTELFINK was bred by Maurice Beatson for a showjumping career but an injury meant he retired to stud. His oldest progeny include DARK SIDE OF THE MOON LS who is eventing in the UK with Bundy Philpott and DIRECTOR LS who is a 2** eventer with Beth Wilson. DIRECTOR LS is also for sale and now being marketed locally and overseas by Joanne Bridgeman. DARKMINSTER is by the foundation sire DISTELFINK whose progeny hold a record in terms of success in all equestrian disciplines. TYRA is a tall brown mare that has already produced a top class dressage horse. She retired to stud as we valued her VOLTAIRE heritage. She seems to throw size and lovely movement as required for top jumpers.

About Us Our History The Vallance family have a long involvement with horses going right back to 1842 when they settled in the Wairarapa at Kahumingi Station. In 1982, Rupert and Anne Vallance setup Longspring Sport Horses with the importation of DISTELFINK, a specialised jumping sire from Germany. Over the years, DISTELFINK bloodlines have proven to cross well with our NZ bloodlines. DISTELFINK - NZs leading sire for 15+ years Rupert and Anne Vallance officially set up Longspring in 1982, when they syndicated and imported a licensed Hanoverian stallion from West Germany. Distelfink (by Diskus out of St Pr St Doreen by Duker) was one of the first jumping specialised stallion to be brought into New Zealand. In the years that followed, until his death in 2004 at the age of 26, Distelfink proved to be a leading sire of competition horses across all disciplines, but especially show jumping. Honour Roll Overall, Longspring's most famous show jumping offspring was Super Moth by DISTELFINK who formed a formidable partnership with Olympic rider John Cottle. By the end of Super Moth’s career, he had won more than 75 classes including 44 at Grand Prix level. But other names are equally well known - FALCON LS with Catriona Williams, DUTY FREE with Maurice Beatson, DANZAR and GV BRAVEHEART with Olivia Bunn, SKYLARK with Katie McVean, DIOMEDES LS with Philip Steiner, BLONDINI with Penny Stevenson, DEALER LS with Anna Stephen, DENVER LS with Catriona Williams and DOUBLE O'EIGHT with Tessa Williams. And then there are the progeny out of DISTELFINK mares ... Currently Competing Once DISTELFINK died, the stud did not produce as many youngsters as in the heyday for sport horse breeding in the 1980s and 1990s. But a mixture of bloodlines is now out there carrying on the good performance that is reflected in the stud's history. We will be adding to this section over time. It appears that the eventing talents are coming to the fore in our offspring! Riders and Trainers Over the years, we have had a number of riders working with us to produce horses. The current ones can be viewed here. In January of this year, we sent 4 young horses to be broken in and ridden by a profession from Europe. The results were incredible. Under Construction

BLOODLINES TRIBUNE xx by TRIC TRAC who still holds a major place on the NZ all time career wins for showjumping progeny notably because of his sons NATIONWIDE and MR KINCAID; and eventer KIWI who was on the Australian Event Team with Andrew Hoy. NATIONWIDE won the Horse of the Year title twice with Maurice Beatson and MR KINCAID once.
