Waldfee is the H&H outstanding mare of the year at breeders awards


  • This year’s H&H outstanding mare award has been won by Waldfee at the British Horse Foundation’s annual breeders’ dinner and awards ceremony in London (12 January).

    Waldfee — a grey mare by the Hanoverian sire Westwall — was the dam of Half Moon Delphi (pictured) who was longlisted for dressage at the London Olympics.

    She died in the summer of 2012 aged 20, but has left an exceptional 13-strong foal crop, of which Delphi is probably the best known.

    But Waldfee also produced British junior dressage team member Half Moon Bardolino and at least two others who reached grand prix.

    “Waldfee was our foundation mare — it’s been very emotional losing her then winning this,” said Mrs Deverill.

    David Pincus, owner and founder of Sheepcote Stud and a pioneer of artificial insemination, won the SEIB Meritoire for his exceptional contribution to British breeding.

    “I was very pleased to receive the award and there are others just as worthy as me, but it’s nice that someone thought we’ve done something good,” he added.
