As a young horse in Germany, he earned the privilege of qualifying for the Bundeschampionat and was awarded a 10 in his ability in his young horse jumping competitions.  For Play had many wins as a young horse with the most recent at 1.40 meters as a 6 year old.  For Play is by For Pleasure who was recognized as the Hanoverian Stallion of the Year in 2000 after receiving his second Olympic Team Gold Medal (Sydney in 2000 and Atlanta in 1996).  He also placed an fourth in the individual show jumping competition at the Sydney Olympics.
