More news on ASTRIX !

It just gets better with this stallion. Coat color tests are in , and it is verified that ASTRIX will NOT throw chestnut. So, for dark horse lovers, he's the man.

His first two foals are born! A dark colt (here) and leggy filly. Looks like he is impacting the offspring.


Next REALLY good news is that reports on semen quality are outstanding. Already last year, the fertility of his frozen semen was tested and proven very well. Now the doses for the U.S. are done and checked by Dr. Juan Samper ..... and given an impressive report.

To show good faith , especially geared towards KWPN mare owners who have had less than impressive semen sent to them over the years, Stal Perlee is making a special offering to the first 10 breeders who buy Astrix semen: If the mare does not conceive on the dose, we will either replace it or give your money back. We want to show, without doubt, that this semen is as high quality as this wonderful stallion. $950 per dose.

ASTRIX will be highlighted at the upcoming KWPN annual Stallion Show. He is the cover stallion for the catalog and will be presented under saddle there. For all of you KWPN NA members that are going over, please try to stop by and see him in person, meet the owners, Marijke and Peter Perlee.
We are excited at this opportunity to introduce this very good stallion to the breeders in North America.

I am so proud to introduce a very special stallion - VITALIS !

VITALIS , Vivaldi - D-Day - Argus. KWPN

I have watched Vitalis ever since he was named the Reserve Champion of the Westfalen stallion licensing in 2010.
He is the first son of VIVALDI to be licensed.
With a wonderful character, smooth and very correct conformation, excellent suppleness and freedom of movement, I see him as a very interesting choice for our broodmare base here.
More than that, however, his foals are WONDERFUL !!!! I was very impressed with the consistent quality of his offspring in the Westfalen region this past season. It is a rare young stallion that can show such consistent quality in his first crop. I immediately went to work to have him available for the U.S.
He is now ridden by Hans Peter Mindenhoud, and is in Holland. He is currently in the KWPN stallion competitions, where he has been placing well. We look forward to him also being licensed KWPN next month. Please study this lovely pedigree: He is by Vivaldi (Krack C - Jazz - Ulft) and his dam is KWPN mare Tolivia (D-Day - Argus - Aktioin - Uniform) Lovely pedigree, with a touch of Oldenburg through D-Day (Donnerschwee - Welt As - Goldpilz)
videoThis is one of his fillies from his first foal crop. What do YOU think???

FLORISCOUNT is coming into his own!


Floriscount, a dark chestnut stallion just like his grandsire born in 2005 (Forencio / Donnerhall / Walldorf / Tin Rocco / Vollkorn xx.)
He clearly dominated his competitors at his performance test, winning the dressage index with scores up to 10.0 for rideability and his canter.
His debut as a sire in 2010 was a sensation and everyone talked about his strong type foals. All over Germany, they won foal shows and brought top prices at the Verband auctions.
Floriscount qualified for the 2010 Bundeschampionat and placed in numerous elementary (L) level tests for young dressage horses. Starting in 2011 he will be further trained by the Grand Prix trainer, Markus Gribbe. His sire, Florencio I, was the 2004 and 2005 World Champion of young dressage horses and in 2009 he won the coveted VHO Trophy at St. Georges level. The winner of the main premium for stallions with emphasis on dressage in 2004, he has meanwhile sired nearly 40 sons that have been licensed.

The dam, El.St. Arkona, is also the dam of the premium stallion Sandakan (by Sandro Hit) who is stationed at the Swedish National Stud in Flyinge and Floriscount II who received a premium in Mecklenburg in 2009. The dam's sire, Donnerhall, is a legend and represents the perfect synthesis of breeding and sport. According to the statistics of the World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses, he still ranked second among the world's best dressage sires in 2010. The granddam, St.Pr./El.St. Arwaldis, was the 1991 Oldenburg Reserve Champion Mare.
The pedigree is well shored up with Thoroughbred bloodlines through the Holstein sire Tin Rocco by Tin Rod xx and the legendary Vollkorn xx. Floriscount unites type, size and presence with outstanding rideability and temperament as well as excellent gaits and he passes on all of these traits to his offspring!



www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgTfb0LQKq0

From his Owner/Breeder Clemens Graf v. Merveldt we receive news:

"He had six qualification winners last year for the German foal championship at Lienen. At the final he had two colts in the Top 10 (from more than 300). One was finally fourth (see the video clip with his scores for his gaits from three judges two times 10,0 and one 9,5! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kXJz2cEnRs) the other one was eighth. So he was one of the best represented sires at the final all over Germany.

Floriscount had the biggest crop of foals (21) selected for the Hanoverian Elite foal auction last August (one was sold for 24,500 Euro to Switzerland). There were many show winners and auction foals all over Germany, England and whole Europe. His four year old full brother called Florimax was sold last December at the PSI auction for 200.000 Euro (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JFzXOHJ-yI ). We just sold his three year old full brother to a top trainer in Canada!

Floriscount himself is now coming seven years old and is prepared to show at PSG level this year. He starts to be a future Grand Prix star with great potential and tons of talent! Maybe a horse for the German team one day in the future!"

The German girls kicking up their heels in the Florida sunshine!

It was such an exciting week for me ..... First my big frozen semen shipment arrived safely from Germany (always a nervous time until it is here.); then these 4 wonderful fillies arrived in fine shape from their monumental journey from Germany.










The dark bay with white is branded Westfalen by Florencio - Pik Labionics - Manstein - Tin Rocco
The bold bright chestnut with hind stockings is also Westfalen by Belissimo M - Depardieu - Weltmeyer - Airport - Sendbote
The dark chestnut is Oldenburg by Belissimo M - Florencio - Donatelli - Duntroon - Tin Rocco
And the black is Bayern branded by San Amour - Depardieu - Glorieux - Pascha - Futuro - Radetsky - Agram

Come Springtime they should be nicely "fluffed up" and slicked out, and I will offer them for sale. I have long enjoyed bringing fillies over to add to the broodmare base in the U.S. These fillies offer deep and fabulous pedigrees as well as super type and excellent movement.

New coop for Christmas!!




I am way excited to have a brand new, hand built chicken coop for my girls, in time for Christmas! It's a gift from me to me! Now they are safer, close to the house, have more sun and the watchful eye of Phoenix, my Dutch Shepherd.

STARS is growing up!

Eline and Stars (aka Heide von Brandenburg: Quaterback - Sandro Hit - Paradiesvogel) had their first "sleep over" at a clinic with friend, Ilse Schwartz.
Stars was started under saddle when she was 3, had a wonderful filly by Belissimo M this past Spring, and now has been back under saddle about a month. She is just 4 years.










She is such a joy, and shows super willingness and ability to work. As her "Mom", I am very pleased and proud of her attitude and talent.
Ilse sneaked a little ride too!
Cookie went with me to watch and to take these lovely remembrances of the day.

Today I planted a tree.......

In memory of one of the most special horses to grace my life.

This Magnolia tree marks the grave of my very first Kiger mare, CHEROKEE SPIRIT.

She passed away on the evening of the 27th, probably from heart failure due to her Florida induced COPD that she had suffered from for many years. Antonio and I were both with her at the end, and I am witness to her strength of character and heart. I know it broke mine........

She leaves me with my all time best and most favorite riding horse of my life, my Cherokee Twister. She also leaves a full Kiger daughter, Cherokee Spirit's Shining Glory by Cherokee Warrior as well as a number of other geldings in other ownership. Her grand-daughter, Cherokee Morning Breeze by Twister, had the privilege of being with her Granny the last few months of Spirit's life. Spirit was our most treasured Nanny and will likely not ever be replaced. I only hope that she had time to tell her little grand-daughter all the wonderful stories of running wild and free on the ranges of the high desert in Oregon. I am sad for me, but happy for her that she is now running free again.
Thank you, Spirit, for teaching me so much.

ASTRIX successful again....

On Dec. 7th, ASTRIX was presented for approval with the German Hanoverian Verband and was one of only 11 stallions accepted, out of 25 stallions presented.
He is a stellar young stallion, and we congratulate his owners, the Perlee's .
Now we have another exciting addition for the Hanoverian mare owners here!

Friday, November 18, 2011

Super exciting new addition to our 2012 roster!

I am proud to introduce ....ASTRIX !

He is
two time WORLD CHAMPION of Young Dressage Horses!

As a 5-year-old he earned the incredible mark of 9.18 at World Championships final. He received 9.3 for the walk and 9.5 for the expressive trot with a lot of activity. 8.9 for canter and 9.3 for the general impression made the performance perfect.
The following year Astrix repeated his triumph. He got 8.7 points for his performance at the Big Final and became World Champion of the 6-year-old Dressage Horses at Verden 2011.

He led the field of 28 competitors with a final score of 8.80 with emphasis on dressage and also had the second highest score of 144 in the predicted breeding value for dressage. The super result was rounded off by a final score of 7.70 with emphasis on jumping.
