It was dual wins for the promising young Oldenburg gelding, Sakrementer, at the recent CDCTA Summer Dressage show at Morven Park in Leesburg, VA. Sakrementer was ridden by Rick Rockefeller-Silvia, of Dream Street Stallions, and is owned by Deborah and Rex Howe of HRH Holdings.

Sakrementer’s success included placing first in the Materiale Class with a score of 84.7% and winning the FEI Four-Year-Old. “Sakrementer earned an 8.17% in the FEI Four-Year-Olds, which places him second nationally,” Rockefeller–Silvia said.

Rockefeller-Silvia said his goal is to compete Sakrementer in the Young Horse National Championships in Lamplight, IL, in July and in the Young Horse Championship class at Dressage at Devon. “This is an incredibly talented youngster, and I am excited to see where his talent takes him,” said Rockefeller-Silvia. “Sakrementer is by the stallion Samarant (by Sandro Hit) out of a Westminster x Cardinale mare. He was purchased at the 97th Elite auction in Germany.”

Sakrementer isn’t the only mount that Rockefeller-Silvia is riding for HRH Holdings. “I'll also be competing Douceur (by Don Primero) out of a Royal Dance mare this summer in the FEI Four-Year-Old division with an eye on similar goals as we have for Sakrementer,” said Rockefeller-Silvia. “Douceur was just imported and released from quarantine.”

Rockefeller-Silvia, a United States Dressage Federation Gold Medalist, formed Dream Street Stallions, Inc., after returning from an extensive training and competition tour in Germany. Rockefeller-Silvia is no stranger to success in the dressage ring as he and his horse Starlight won Grand Champion at Dressage at Devon in 2008. “Starlight’s success at Devon was something I will never forget.” Rockefeller said. “With the addition of several new up and coming prospects, including Sakrementer and Douceur, I am excited about the future.”
