More news on ASTRIX !

2012-01-21T04:55:00.000-08:00

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 !

2012-01-13T04:48:00.001-08:00

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)
This is one of his fillies from his first foal crop. What do YOU think???

FLORISCOUNT is coming into his own!

2012-01-10T12:09:00.000-08:00

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 black and white of it!!

2011-12-29T04:57:00.000-08:00

New stallion pages are going up on our 2012 STALLION ROSTER.

We have been updating the website with all the new stallions for 2012, new fee schedule and 2012 purchase contract. (*No handling fee for previous customers)

I am already shipping semen, so it is ON TO 2012!

Here is the gorgeous ASTRIX and the stunningly beautiful COCKPIT, two of our special new offerings in frozen semen.

Check out our current inventory - I may already have what you want!

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

2011-12-19T10:18:00.000-08:00

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!!

2011-12-19T10:11:00.000-08:00

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!

2011-12-07T04:49:00.000-08:00

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.......

2011-11-30T11:47:00.000-08:00

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....

2011-11-30T08:37:00.001-08:00

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!

Super exciting new addition to our 2012 roster!

2011-11-18T10:25:00.001-08:00

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.

ASTRIX (Obelisk - Olivi - Fruhling) licensed KWPN and Oldenburg Verband

Happy news about my friend, ROI du SOLEIL !

2011-11-10T04:05:00.000-08:00

Munich-Riem: Roi du Soleil with outstanding results at the stallion performance test

Wednesday 09. November 2011

A 10.0 for character and temperament, a 9.75 for rideability, an 8.75 for his trot and an 8.5 for his canter and walk - Roi du Soleil did an excellent job at his 30-day test in Munich-Riem/GER.

With a weighted final score of 8.55, the three-year old Rosandro-August der Starke son, bred by Sissy Max-Theurer and licensed in 2010 in Vechta/GER as a premium stallion, was only 0.01 point behind the winner, Dollar D'Or SB. 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.

Another gorgeous stallion for 2012 - COCKPIT

2011-11-05T10:30:00.000-07:00

For those breeders who admire and appreciate strong Holsteiner blood, and like a touch of "jump" in their dressage breeding program, I offer for your consideration the glorious stallion COCKPIT. He, as well as his offspring, show their multi-talented athleticism.

CANTUS - PIT I (Pilot) - FRUHLINGSBALL

In Germany, COCKPIT was trained and competed by Oliver Luze.

In 2003, out of 7 events at the M-A and Intermédiaire I level, they had 6 victories and 1 third-place

COCKPIT was sold to France some years ago.
.
Cockpit produces beautiful horses with excellent conformation, remarkable gaits, strength, and flexibility. His offspring are well-tempered, have excellent jumping technique, and show great promise for the future.

Westphalian - Grey - 1.72 m; Licensed Selle Francais, Westfalen, Hanoverian, Oldenburg, Rhineland, Denmark, BWP

Cockpit foals

THe Girls have something to tell you!

2011-11-05T07:17:00.000-07:00

After a difficult and disappointing breeding season 2011, perhaps it is OK now to share what exciting foals we are expecting next Spring!

Last year I had dispersed the majority of my breeding mares, so have only a few that we bred this year.

Heide von Brandenburg (aka STARS) has a filly by FLORESTAN due by ET.

DREAM RUBINA has a COLT by TOTILAS due by ET

TAMARINDE is carrying a FILLY by VOICE!

My Andalusian x Kiger mare, ISABEL is carrying a COLT by our own fancy golden boy , BRANCA LEAO, and my Kiger mare CHEROKEE SHIMMER has a filly coming by CHEROKEE TWISTER.

We also have RAINY ROMANCE (Rohdiamant - Rouletto), who lives with us - in foal by QUATERBACK

If you are curious about the dams, they are on my "Our Horses" page.

A new face for our 2012 lineup

2011-11-03T13:00:00.000-07:00

If you haven't already met SUNGOLD, please let me introduce you!

SUNGOLD

(Sandro Hit - Grundstein II - Futuro)

Sungold is a noble stallion of a very elegant type. He is clearly refined and the quality of his gaits is simply outstanding, with suppleness, swing and elasticity. This brown Oldenburg stallion took his stallion performance test in 2008 in Schlieckau, where both guest riders gave him the maximum score of 10 for rideability. Sungold then proceeded to win and place in tests for young riding and dressage horses.

The striking type, generous lines and outstanding movements of his first offspring are particularly pleasing and many of them received a premium and were admitted to the Elite Auctions. Sungold was also the sire of the Champion Foal at the "Land Tage Nord" Championships.

Nice horse, nice pedigree, nice foals......... a good type for us. Doses will arrive in Fall shipment; limited availablity.

Good news from some old friends!

2011-10-25T10:37:00.001-07:00

I think that many breeders will be happy to see that LIVELLO

and HILKEN'S BLACK DELIGHT will back on the roster this season!

We have already secured our supply of doses and will bring them in for next season.

Thank you for your continued interest and inquiries about these two nice producing stallions!

We just had TOO much fun with BRANCA yesterday!

2011-09-18T10:03:00.000-07:00

It was a lovely day for a photo shoot at the Sunshine Sporthorse Classic up in Newbury.

Eline (Eckroth) did the riding part....

and I did the "in hand" part

2011-09-18T09:11:00.000-07:00

He is maturing into a good looking young man, and has quite a fan club of admirers.

I couldn't help but have a little fun with him too! He is such a pleasure to be around.

BRANCA LEAO is turning 5 years in November and will be showing in the 1st level Regional Championships in a few weeks.

He is a Brazilian imported Lusitano stallion of exceptional breeding, by PORTUGAL out of PICARDIA by PARAGRAFO do TOP. His sire, Portugal, represented Brazil in the World Cup Games last year in gran prix dressage.

GATSBY and his big day out! And earns his First Premium Award!

2011-09-16T14:26:00.000-07:00

Yesterday we had our little trip to the KWPN NA Keuring at Pennock Point Sporthorses here in Ocala.

Tyra Vernon came all the way down from Wisconsin to share the day with her boy!

We were all proud of him, although he was a bit timid inside the covered arena - not his usual big moving self. Cookie came along to photo the event and document Gatsby's success.

GATSBY YF is by JAZZ out of DREAM RUBINA (Dream of Glory - Rubinstein; dam of stallions QREDIT by Quaterback and W. ELLINGTON by Wynton.)

Am so happy to hear from ARRICK HARPER and Sue Black

2011-09-10T09:28:00.000-07:00

Remember our 4 y.o. ARGENTINUS gelding out of HEARTS AFIRE by HARPER? He is a homebred of 4 generations. It is always so special to hear from them again.
"Judy

I took Arrick to his first show. He did very well with scores up to 71+%. He is settled in and gained back all the weight he lost growing and the trip up here. I am really looking forward to next year. I hope he matures this winter and will be able to do the 5 year old test next year. I am really pleased with him. You did a wonderful job of breeding not only talent but a great disposition and willingness to work. Also, Ilsa (Schwartz) did a great job with his training. Here's a picture from the show so you can see what he looks like."

Thanks again,

Sue

A nice Sunday ride with TWISTER and his little daughter!

2011-09-04T12:00:00.000-07:00

Who better to give a newly weaned filly confidence than her DAD! This is Cherokee Morning Breeze out of Cherokee Diamond Isabel ..... but a spitting image of her Dad, no?

News from "HOT JAZZ" by HOTLINE out of TAMARINDE

2011-09-04T11:54:00.001-07:00

I am always so delighted to hear news of any of my kids, and finally I get to see Tamarinde's first foal under saddle! a 4 year old now. Owner/rider Linda Parelli writes:

"Jazzy" continues to develop very nicely. Just had three days with Walter Zettl (the first time I've ridden Jazz with him) and he was so excited about the prospect of this young horse. Not only is he willing, calm and confident, he is talented!

I'm attaching a few photos from one of the days, but I'm sure there are some better ones and I'll send them to you too. (Had to include one with the mountains in the background, not always my house!)

Thank you for breeding such a fine horse.

All the best,

Linda

Now, aren't you glad I introduced you to AMPERE?! ;-)

2011-08-28T10:05:00.000-07:00

Oldenburg Foal News, 28AUG11

Vechta, Germany

The bay colt A La Dressage (by Ampere x Sandro Hit x Donnerhall) broke all records and became the best selling foal ever at a German Elite Foal Auction. A Swiss buyer paid 200,000 euro (about $288,000!) for the colt at the 2011 Oldenburg Elite Foal Auction in Vechta, Germany, and broke the previous record of Sabeltanz, which sold for 127,000 euro

The consistency of offspring of this young stallion AMPERE is remarkable. He gives his type, his suspension, freedom, sparkle and color. His first sons will come to KWPN stallion licensing next Winter - can't wait to see them. The young man we have here, APOLLO, has proven to us how classy and smart the AMPERE offspring are.

As a matter of fact, we have a new shipment of AMPERE semen coming this month, in preparation for early breeders ( and before the price goes up!)

For Sale - nice young ROHDIAMANT mare, IN FOAL to QUATERBACK

2011-08-25T07:05:00.000-07:00

This is RAINY ROMANCE (Rohdiamant - Rouletto), 5 years old.

She has lived here with me since she was imported from Germany as a weanling.
We started her under saddle and she is nicely started but hasn't been ridden since January. She has a very laid back nature, lives well in a herd.
She has been checked in foal to Quaterback for a 2012 foal. Call me for more details. Fetal sexing indicates a COLT by Quaterback!

Another beautiful offering.....FEMME FATALE for sale

2011-08-20T14:09:00.000-07:00

This is our darling FEMME FATALE. (Furst Romancier - Donnerhall - Rubinstein - Grenadier - Akzent II !!)
She was my pick of the litter from 2010, and is developing into as classy a filly as I anticipated.

Elegant, typey, loving with a tremendous depth of pedigree.

This is the type of filly that you procure for your long term breeding goals, and enjoy under saddle in the meantime.

Femme Fatale and Peaches have a day at the barn

2011-08-18T04:32:00.000-07:00

Our two special yearling fillies needed a new photo shoot. Cookie likes to haul them up out of the field occasionally, primp a bit and photo/video!

FEMME FATALE (the exquisite bay) is Furst Romancier -Donnerhall - Rubinstein - Grenadier - Akzent II. She is my only yearling warmblood filly and is offered for sale.
PEACHES (the cream dun) is one of my "specialty" breedings. She is by the Lusitano VENENO. Her dam is by the Andalusian Gaucho III out of Mirage, one of my first Kiger mares. She is also available.

Two very fancy girls with very different bloodlines. Thanks Cookie.... that was fun.

Two stallion relatives from same dam line - 26 years apart!

2011-08-09T14:35:00.000-07:00

HARPER, born 1985, Trakehner by MAHON (Mahagoni - Habicht) out of HELENA (Herbststurm - Pregel), and QREDIT, born 2008 by Quaterback out of Dream Rubina

Helena was dam to REINA H (Rubinstein) , who was dam to Dream Rubina (Dream of Glory) .... dam of Qredit.

So, QREDIT is out of HARPER's ??niece???
Still, blood will tell, and that mare Helena was one in a million.

QREDIT at his H-O-T inspection !!!

2011-08-09T14:23:00.000-07:00

July 31,2011 at High Point Hanoverians in Md., QREDIT (Quaterback out of my Dream Rubina) made a solid presentation.

A happy Michael Bragdell, rider, along with Oldenburg Verband judge Dr. Evelin Schlotmann and me.... with a very hot a tired young stallion, Qredit!
Many thanks to Susan McAdoo for the photos.
Qredit is the 4th licensed stallion from this mare line, starting with my foundation Trakehner mare, Helena (Herbststurm - Pregel). She had two sons licensed, Hadrian and Harper. Qredit looks so very much like a big "Harper". Helena's daughter, Reina H by Rubinstein had the licensed son Sirringo by Sir Donnerhall before her untimely death. Her daughter is Dream Rubina by Dream of Glory, dam of Qredit. A wonderful family legacy. So, he is the 4th generation from the inception of my breeding program, and I couldn't be more proud of him!

A few photos from our Oldenburg Verband inspection

2011-08-09T04:38:00.001-07:00

Well, it was a very strange year for us. Our 28th inspection from the Oldenburg Verband .... and only TWO foals to present!

But they are two very NICE foals! Fillies both, HEARTSONG MOON the black filly by HOHENSTEIN out of homebred FINALE (Furst Heinrich out of Reina H) and HONALEIGH the liver chestnut filly by BELISSIMO M out of HEIDE VON BRANDENBURG , aka "Stars" (Quaterback - Sandro Hit)

Both fillies were premium awarded. That day, Honaleigh really shined, was in perfect balance in her growth stage, and was also given the Foal of Distinction ribbon and named best foal of the day.
We had a lovely, albeit hot, day. There were 13 foals presented and 6 received premium. The quality was very good. Antonio, my right hand for 29 years (!) now, ran without complaint in the heat

The young boy QREDIT is growing up!

2011-08-02T04:56:00.001-07:00

From 6 days to 3+ years! Some changes, but still the sweetest guy.

Here is the newly licensed, Class I stallion, QREDIT (by Quaterback out of Verb. Pr. St. Dream Rubina)

A proud Michael Bragdell sits on his fabulous mount after a well executed ride in front of the judges representing the German Oldenburg Verband.

Congratulations to HILLTOP FARM. Their organization and preparation of this solid, athletic and talented stallion was just perfection. QREDIT showed three very good gaits (8 for canter, 8 for impulsion and elasticity at trot, 8 for general impression & development; and a whopping "9" for his walk. ) we are ALL looking for a strong walk in stallions these days, and I was so pleased to see that Qredit has maintained his big, ground covering, swinging walk like his Momma. His gaits were even better under saddle. I had tears in my eyes watching his soft, easy beauty under saddle.
It was such joy to be there -to visit with Natalie, Michael, Chris , and to share their pride and enthusiasm for the formidable young stallion. Thank you to all who have brought him along.

I know that I have the best customers ever....

2011-06-29T08:20:00.000-07:00

and I have thought that for several years. I have noticed the increase in professionalism in the customer base, and I see my shipping tanks coming right back from the Vets. That used to be like pulling teeth to get my tanks returned. And now people are thinking of me, to share their GOOD news..... not just contacting me when something goes wrong! I am so appreciative of that. Today I received just a little note, that made me smile. Thanks, Cindy! Now if I could just get you guys to send me photos of your foals so that we can all share in the fun!
"Hi Judy, Wanted to say "thank you" for your help in the breeding process. We were successful on the first try with Ampere's frozen semen - we used two doses. The foal is due end of April. I'm a bit superstitious about "counting the chickens before they hatch", so won't say much more except that we are very excited and grateful for your excellent service. Thank you again," Cindy Paris, KY

2011-06-01T10:01:00.001-07:00

Memorial day photos of the only babies this year! Smallest foal crop ever in 35 years for me ... but little jewels, each one.

Super producing mare for sale.... Cherokee Diamond Isabel

2011-05-27T04:29:00.000-07:00

ISABEL is by the well admired Andalusian stallion GAUCHO III and out of one of my first Kiger mares. She is 7 years old this year, and is offered for sale IN FOAL by my Palomino Lusitano stallion , BRANCA LEAO !!

We rode Isabel as a young mare, then bred her to the homozygous black sire Sandro Hit, for a buckskin foal shown here.
Then I bred her to a buckskin Lusitano stallion Veneno Imperial, and the result is my little superstar, PEACHES! This mare outproduces herself, with foals of exceptional type, correctness , movement and size. She is solid, sound and an easy mare to keep and be around. The color is rare and fabulous! She is registered with IALHA.

A spectacular mare now FOR SALE.....TAMARINDE ! Checked in foal to VOICE for 2012.

2011-05-26T07:37:00.000-07:00

Tamarinde (Jazz - Matador II - Rubinstein - Welt As) has been a major presence around here for quite a few years. She earned her Keur status and Sport Predicate through dressage down in Wellington.
As a 4 year old in Holland, she was 7th place in the Finals of the PAVO Cup, behind Florencio and other stallions. She is full sister to the wonderful KWPN stallion WYNTON.

She is an exceptional mover, beautiful type and very correct in her conformation. She is now 11 years old and very sound.
She has had 5 foals, 3 by ET and two Florestans she carried. All the colts have been awarded Premium status, with "Foal of distinction" awards and "stallion prospect" on two colts.
Shown here are her two colts of 2009; a chestnut by Quaterback and a red bay by Florestan.
She is in foal to the very good stallion VOICE ,now ridden by Edward Gal. She is believed to be carrying a FILLY. This should be yet another very valuable offering from Tamarinde. If you are a serious breeder, I invite you to call for more information. There is much to say about this spectacular mare.

Let me show you ZONIK

2011-05-19T10:34:00.000-07:00

I was captivated watching ZONIK at the Schockemoehle Stallion show last Feb. I was not expecting a surprise, but that's what we were given. This young stallion has alot of maturing yet to do, but his basic gaits, suspension, suppleness and character really shined already.
His pedigree? Blue Hors ZACK (Rousseau - Jazz) -ROMANOV ( Rohdiamant - Grundstein) - DON SCHUFRO (Donnerhall - Pik Bube) To my eyes, he looked like a young Don Schufro.

Zonik's dam won the bronze medal at her mare performance test, his granddam competed in the final of the Danish Four Year Old Riding Horse Championship with Andreas Helgstrand and has won classes up to Prix St. Georges level. His dam's sire, Romanov, is a Grand Prix winner. He won the VTV Dressage Stallion Award in 2008 and his son Honnerups Driver was the absolutely brilliant Dressage World Champion in Verden in 2009. Don Schufro won the Olympic team bronze medal in Hong Kong, produced the Oldenburg champion stallion of 2010 and Uno Donna Unique, World Champion of Six Year Old Dressage Horses. He has topped the FN dressage breeding stallion index for seven years in succession and produced numerous advanced dressage and Grand Prix horses such as Donna Asana, Bocelli and Diamond Hit.
Zonik's dam line has produced many Grand Prix horses.

I waited for frozen semen to be available, and now will bring doses on that last shipment of the season, due around 1st of June.

Branca has a good show.....

2011-05-15T14:37:00.000-07:00

Branca Leao and Eline Eckroth had a pleasant show this weekend at the Canterbury May Days Qualifier. They won their 1st Level 2, 3rd in 1st 1 and won the 1st 3, with a qualifying score of 69.677, besting the class of 9 riders.
This score of 69.677 also won Branca the High Point Award for First Level. Not too bad for a 5 1/2 year old Luso!

FLORISCOUNT qualified for the Warendorf Bundeschampionate for a second time!!

2011-05-14T14:15:00.001-07:00

Floriscount qualified for Warendorf Bundeschampionate again this year. He has won the first round warm up yesterday at Haftenkamp dessage festival with an 8,1 and was third today in the qualifier FEI class for the six years old with an 8,2 under Markus Gribbe.

A new shipment of doses of Floriscount is scheduled to arrive by the end of the month.

Not to be outdone!..............

My homebred yearling filly, Peaches N Cream,won everything in the 1/2 Andalusian/Lusitano divisions at the recent Baroque Horse Regional Championships!
She is by the Lusitano stallion Veneno Imperial out of my mare "Cherokee Isabel" who is by the great Andalusian stallion , Gaucho III, and out of one of my first Kiger Mustang mares. Gorgeous creature, no? No matter what "breed" you call her, she is a beauty.

WHO WANTED THE RUIZ SOLER SEMEN????

2011-05-03T04:58:00.000-07:00

I know I got an email a couple of days ago asking how many doses of Ruiz Soler I have left. I had to go out to the lab and actually count. I have 3 and 2/3 rds doses left. Anyway, I can't find the email, so am hoping this info finds the right person!

Finally offered FOR SALE......... "STARS" !

2011-05-01T14:06:00.000-07:00

To put it very simply.... this is just a wonderful young mare. Her registered name is "HEIDE VON BRANDENBURG"; pedigree is QUATERBACK - SANDRO HIT - PARADIESVOGEL.
She stems from an important and successful mare line in Brandenburg.

She is 4 years old and a gem.

As a young foal, she represented the Hauptgestuet Brandenburg in the German Foal Championships, where she made the finals. As a young 3 year old mare, she earned a "Mare of Distinction" with the German Oldenburg Verband, scoring a 7.83 on her evaluation.
Under saddle she continued to shine. She is a happy worker, very comfortable to ride, kind, uncomplicated and talented. She has a darling filly by the top sire BELISSIMO M by her side. We have started her back in work and offer her now for sale. Her filly, HONALEIGH is has been SOLD.
You can read more about her on the "OUR HORSES" page on my website.

Meet "Cherokee Morning Breeze"!! Twister's daughter!!

2011-03-25T09:29:00.000-07:00

So, THIS is what a baby mustang looks like! Here at 6 hours old she is ready to run with the herd. They are strong and she has a full head of hair, in case the north winds blow cold!!

This is the daughter of my big Kiger guy, Cherokee Twister and out of Cherokee Diamond Isabel who is by the great Andalusian sire Gaucho III and out of one of my first Kiger mares, Mirage.

Gotta keep trying for a colt from Twister!

Arrick Harper wins big again at Spy Coast show!

2011-03-23T04:49:00.001-07:00

My 4 year old homebred son of Argentinus maintained his winning ways in the Spy Coast Young Horse Series yesterday. Rider Ilse Schwartz reported a brilliant score of 8.0 in the Suitability class, with the 2nd place horse coming in with a 7.25.
Arrick placed second in the Dressage test with a 69.5%.
So, we are well qualified for the finals of this series in December. And Ilse reports that I have won another tote bag!! Yay!!!
Again, all kudos to her for her solid training of this young talent,Arrick

Oh, HAPPY DAY !! Look what we have!!!

2011-03-20T07:43:00.001-07:00

Day # 2 for Heartsong!

This is my new little heartsong........ by HOHENSTEIN out of FINALE by Furst Heinrich who was out of my dear REINA H by Rubinstein, who was out of my foundation Trakehner mare, HELENA "E" by Herbststurm. I thought it would be wonderful to get a filly, to come full circle back to my Trakehner roots. All year long we waited for a COLT to come, but when she started bagging up early, my hopes were renewed! I thought "Surely the SUPER MOON would bring a filly!" And so she did! At 1:49 a.m. out came this wonderful black all over filly.........
A breeder's dream .... well, for sure THIS breeder's dream! 34 years from beginning with HELENA to seeing her great grand daughter born, still so much in her image.

My "Peaches" makes her show debut!

2011-03-20T07:26:00.001-07:00

Please notice the BLUE RIBBON in Gareth's hand!!

So it was a lovely way to spend a Saturday morning - watching Gareth Selwood handle one of my youngsters in the ring. Kudos to him for transforming Peaches from a pasture kid to a young lady.
PEACHES is by the Lusitano stallion VENENO IMPERIAL out of Isabel by the Andalusian stallion GAUCHO III. Isabel's dam was one of my very first KIGER mares, Mirage! So, Peaches is one of my "specialty" breedings, and she competed in the IALHA breed show. (She still wanted to come home with me!)

Roi du Soleil under saddle

2011-03-16T09:33:00.000-07:00

Here is recent footage of ROI DU SOLEIL at his first stallion presentation under saddle (about two months)
He is by Rosandro (Sandro Hit - Rosario) out of a strong mare line August der Starke (Grand Prix dressage winning) - Rohdiamant.

Arrick Harper and Ilse in their qualifying ride

2011-03-11T05:01:00.000-08:00

Since Arrick Harper was a baby, I had dreams of him going to the Young Horse Championships ...... I don't know - just wanted him to BE someone and DO something. I felt he had such athleticism and talent.
So, now, he has his first qualifying score, and it is still so early in the year for a 4 year old. He also has done super in the first two Spy Coast Farm's Young Horse Shows, and is also qualified for those finals.
This ride was last week in Wellington.

WYNTON and his winning ways!!

2011-03-08T07:33:00.000-08:00

This is the winning-est horse I know! Now he has won the ZZ "HEAVY" Indoor Championships at Ermelo. (ZZ Zwaar is equivalent to our Prix St. Georges)

Here is my young "buddy", ROI DU SOLEIL at his first stallion show, approximately 2 months under saddle. He stands at the Vorwerk Stud.
Video will be up soon. Neat horse....

Gatsby starting to show his style!

2011-03-04T11:15:00.000-08:00

He just thinks that EVERYONE should be impressed with his abilities! His Mom looks doubtful of the airs above ground move!
Mr. Gatsby has been SOLD

Cherokee Twister

2011-03-03T13:23:00.001-08:00

It has been a long time since I have shown you my #1 guy.... this is my buddy and riding partner, Twister.

Hard to believe that he was born here 11 years ago last month - my first Kiger foal from the wild. And my lifetime partner.

Look at this perfect beauty!!

2011-03-02T12:59:00.001-08:00

Born yesterday, March 1st ........ a precious filly.

This is HONALEIGH by Belissimo M out of lovely "STARS" (Quaterback - Sandro Hit - Paradiesvogel)

Gatsby sports a new outfit!

2011-03-02T12:44:00.001-08:00

It was just too darned hot for the boy! Every day he was so sweaty that I worried about pneumonia. So Cookie and I gave him a nice neck shave .... we might have to finish the job if it gets any hotter.

Besides being like a kid with ants in his pants, he paid no attention to the clippers. He is a happy, funny, friendly, big colt with super legs. Quite a hit around here!

Price set for VOICE at $850 per dose

2011-02-28T05:56:00.000-08:00

Here we have a most exciting addition to our lineup this year! This is the KWPN stallion VOICE (DeNiro - Rohdiamant - Doruto - Amor)
He has been in training with Ed Gal since this past summer, and hopes are high for this duo.
They have just begun working on the semen freezing, so we are looking at end of March for shipment.

Please look for NEW FOALS being posted!

2011-02-26T05:25:00.000-08:00

I have just posted a Quick Time clip of a daytime born foal's first attempt at standing. It is really cute. As new photos and/or videos are sent to me of new foals this season, I will post them there, and try to give you a heads up to check that page.

http://yanceyfarms-foals.blogspot.com/

Please welcome GATSBY !

2011-02-25T06:58:00.000-08:00

So fancy with his white stockings, here is GATSBY. He is by JAZZ out of DREAM RUBINA (Dream of Glory - Rubinstein)

Rubina has become my cornerstone mare since her dam Reina H died last summer. Dream Rubina has already produced the licensed son QREDIT by Quaterback, and looks like she has another stallion coming along in Australia - W.ELLINGTON by Wynton. (see post below)
This Jazz colt is larger than I expected, but has his dam's wonderful legs and a delightful friendly personality that shines already. GATSBY is shown here at 2 1/2 days of age.

Does anyone recognize THIS horse??

2011-02-21T14:50:00.000-08:00

This is my homebred 2 year old colt. W. ELLINGTON by WYNTON out of DREAM RUBINA (Dream of Glory - Rubinstein) in his home in Australia!

Hasn't he grown nicely?

His dam is also dam of the licensed stallion QREDIT by Quaterback.
?Maybe she will have another licensed son?

And, for jumper breeders!! For the first time - PLOT BLUE!!

2011-02-21T05:56:00.000-08:00

It has not been an easy task to secure a supply of frozen semen from the KWPN stallion PLOT BLUE (Mr. Blue - Pilot - San Fernando)
This stallion, under Marcus Ehning, has been winning Grand Prixs for years. The list is long. In 2010 they captured the 32nd annual Rolex/FEI World Cup Final.
His sire, Mr. Blue, competed in international show jumping under Bert Romp, Elise Haas, and Katie Monahan Prudent.
His dam, Ilotte by Pilot, is a valuable mare and also dam of Grand Prix level show jumper and KWPN approved stallion, Oklund.
Semen is of excellent quality and will come in our next shipment from Germany.
PRICE PER DOSE IS $2,100 ; excellent quality, proven frozen semen with this stallion

I will continue to introduce new stallions for our program this year, but it is sure looking like an exciting season.

Totilas semen coming

2011-02-19T06:26:00.000-08:00

A personal photo of dubious quality! Of course, they had to ride him in the dark!
None the less, we subsequently had a nice visit with Totilas himself, which absolutely made the day (week, year...!) of my traveling buddy, Scot Tolman.

Both of us were impressed with the quality of conformation of this magnificent, kind, and gentle stallion. He is larger than I expected; he has good substance of bone with clean , dry , good sized joints. He has nice strong, round hooves. He has a lovely loin connection and a very nice neck. It is really not that compressed neck that we have always seen under the saddle. It comes well out of his chest, with good length.

Our first shipment is scheduled for March 2nd (give or take a day). As those mares are bred, I will let you know how it goes!

Interesting young stallion, "FOUNDATION"

2011-02-19T06:19:00.001-08:00

Please excuse the poor coloration of the photo, but I want to introduce you to FOUNDATION (Fidertanz - De Vito - Andiamo) He is Hanoverian branded and Oldenburg licensed. He is only 3 years old, but I think this is one we will watch. His natural suspension, suppleness and balance is a wonder. Already standing 168, with two more years to grow, he will be a good sized horse. I am interested to see how he does in his 30 days test.

What can I say????????

2011-02-19T05:15:00.000-08:00

CALIDO took my breath away.

A huge highlight of my trip was giving Calido a hug around his neck. It was like I felt when around my all time favorite horse, Argentinus - I felt like I was standing in the presence of greatness. What a gentleman.
Frozen semen will be readily available within a few weeks. They are freezing him now, and reports are excellent. Price will be $2,200 per dose.

All things must pass.......

2011-02-18T06:56:00.001-08:00

The grand old stallion FOR PLEASURE has passed away peacefully in his field this morning in Germany.
He was turned out as usual, was having a good roll, but never got up.
The world of show jumping will never forget this strong stallion who has left his mark , not only through his own accomplishments, but also through the success of his offspring.
Another great one passes over the Rainbow Bridge.

Bretton Woods

2011-02-15T15:31:00.000-08:00

I reviewed BRETTON WOODS (Johnson - DeNiro - Romancier) when I was in Holland too. He is another stallion product from my friends Hans and Grietje Jansen, who are also the breeders of WYNTON and the young stallion CHAGALL ( who is also out of the same dam as Bretton Woods)
I find Bretton Woods to be an intriguing young stallion. I look forward to seeing his first foals this year, to see what impact he will have on them. He is a VERY tall young horse, standing already 178 cm (>17.2), and has another year or so to grow. So, we must keep that in mind when choosing mares for him. He is leggy, not heavy, very pretty and seems to have good rideability and willingness to work. If this pedigree and type works for your mare, then you might be interested to know that frozen semen is available by end of March. They are just now starting the freezing process, as he has been a busy boy! $950 per dose.

Roi du Soleil

2011-02-15T14:22:00.000-08:00

This is my youngest heart throb, Roi du Soleil. He is so charming in person; full of life, personality. Only two weeks under saddle, he shows super rhythm, balance, suspension, suppleness - and , I believe, capabilities for a stellar career in dressage. Excellent quality semen is available and will be here soon.
He is by Rosandro - August der Starke - Rohdiamant

Visiting with ROYAL CLASSIC

2011-02-15T08:35:00.001-08:00

He is just stunningly beautiful.

Even these photos do not do him the justice he deserves. In person, he is so full of kind personality, fluid movement, solid, gentle energy. I am a huge admirer of this young stallion as well as of his venerable pedigree:
His sire, Royal Highness is by Regazzoni out of a Dream of Glory - Weltmeyer dam
His dam, First Lady is Florestan - Landadel - Calypso II

Here is a link to his homepage, with good information and updated regularly with new foal photos!

Time to start shipping out!

2011-02-14T11:19:00.000-08:00

I am preparing a shipment out to Pollyrich Farms in California for a number of breeders. Does anyone else need a shipment out to there? I am all about combining shipments when we can - lessens your handling fee too!

Ready to ship TOTILAS semen

2011-01-31T11:04:00.000-08:00

OK - it is time to get your contracts in for the Totilas semen. Reports on the quality are very good, with excellent post thaw motility. The doses we are receiving are all 3 straw doses.
The shipment will be scheduled for the last week of February, as I return on the 15th.
So, you have between now and the 15th to finalize your Totilas plans.

Thank you Ken Braddick for this photo! (taken at WEG)

ARRICK HARPER starts his show career in style!

2011-01-26T10:33:00.000-08:00

From http://www.dressage-news.com/ I see the results of my young Argentinus boy, ARRICK HARPER, at the inaugral Spy Coast Farm Young Horse Show series.

Judges Hilda Gurney and Joe Sevriens with Ilse Schwarz on Arrick Harper (right) and Heather Farmer on Hassana Bay at the Young Sporthorse Show. © 2011 Ken Braddick/dressage-news.com
Suitability in hand, Suitability for Sport, Jump Chute, Under Saddle and Schooling Dressage classes for horses aged from yearlings to five years were judged by Dressage Sport Horse Judge Jos Sevriens of Atlanta and International Breed Judge and two-time dressage Olympian Hilda Gurney of Moorpark, California.

Well...... I fell in love again

2011-01-24T13:54:00.000-08:00

This is ROI Du SOLEIL
His pedigree is very interesting to me. His sire is ROSANDRO (Rosario - Sandro Hit - Espri) whom I introduced here last year.
Roi's dam is SPS Augustina who is by August der Starke
(Argentinus - Landadel) SPS Augustina is out of SPS Weinrubina by Rohdiamant Lovely pedigree. I have long wanted access to the grand competition stallion August der Starke, but he has never been offered at public stud. So, to have the opportunity to have his blood is fine. .
At the 2010 Oldenburg licensing in Vechta, the crowd applauded enthusiastically when he received the I-e premium. First tests under saddle have proven just how rideable this young stallion is. He is from Rosandro's first crop .

His sire Rosandro has won more than 20 medium (M) level tests for young dressage horses. In 2009, under his trainer Kira Wulferding, he took silver at the Bundeschampionat in the class for five-year old dressage horses after having won the qualifier with a score of 9.1. In 2010, fourth place was added in the class for six-year olds in the Warendorf Final. Because of the quality of his first crop, Rosandro was awarded the I-c main premium in Vechta in 2008.

I have a mare that I just have to breed with this young stallion. His type, suspension, quality of gaits, athletic ability, pedigree all combine to make him a solid package, and I am going to bet on him. Semen is being frozen now and will come in our late February shipment.

For Pleasure semen available again

2011-01-12T12:06:00.001-08:00

We have had such good success with the frozen semen of FOR PLEASURE that I am happy to offer it again this season.
He is a unique, admired stallion, having proven himself over and over in competition and now proving himself as a sire of talented offspring.

Semen available in Feb. at $2,900 per insemination dose. It has proven, excellent fertility.

I don't think that I need to introduce this phenomenal stallion to jumper aficionados out there!

Flipper D'Elle..... Selle Francais by Double Espoir - Jalisco B - Uriel

In 2006 alone, he won TEN different International title with his rider Laurent Goffinet. His offspring are competing successfully in jumpers AND hunters.
He is a wonderful choice for "old fashioned" mares, and has been particularly successful with Dutch, Belgian and German mares.

We will provide distribution on the West Coast as well, to save customers some shipping bucks!
Take advantage of this limited supply of doses from a truly great International sire at $1,150 per dose.
The semen has proven excellent fertility.

OK........ OK!! I give ! Branca Leao will be available by frozen semen this year

2011-01-05T04:56:00.000-08:00

Maybe you remember my delightful Lusitano stallion, Branca Leao? As I describe him, he is a 100% good guy! He is doing so super in dressage training with Matt McLaughlin and will be showing 2nd level down in Wellington this Feb.

His pedigree is solid and he shows a high level of trainability. His sire represented Brazil in dressage at WEG. Branca is a "modern" Lusitano, bred for dressage. He can compete with good company in the dressage arena.

We are looking forward to his first breeding season, and have already an interesting array of mares signed up; TB, and warmblood mares so far - oh, and a beautiful big Arabian mare (that ought to be beautiful). So, if you like color, and like Iberian you might like my Branca!

This is the toll free number that I have had for over 15 years ...... may I ask you to please use it? ;-)

Each day I receive nice emails from mare owners asking for help in matching their mares with one of my program's stallions. I love to do this ... am happy to do this. But, I just find it hard to respond by email. I always have questions to ask , and those answers help me get a better picture of the situation.

I am around the phone off and on all day. Best time to find me picking up the phone is from 7:30 a.m. EST to about 6:30 p.m. EST. If I don't answer, you can leave a detailed message and I will call you back. Thanks and

Happy New Year !!

UPDATE** More info on TOTILAS frozen semen for 2011

2010-12-28T05:05:00.000-08:00

I have been given the O.K. to begin taking requests / orders for the 2011 season for Totilas frozen semen. ** Doses are going to be limited this season, so our final order is going in very soon. We are not yet guaranteed that we will be able to receive the number that we want, so if you have decided you want a dose, please speak up. The number which we will be sent will be determined in January, and doubtful that we will get more this season.

It will be priced by the individual insemination dose.

The price is 5000 Euros per one insemination dose. Exchange rate will be calculated on the date of purchase and will be at the "buy Euros" rate.

The semen had excellent fertility last year, so we know he freezes well. The lab at PS always does such an excellent job producing the semen.

If you have interest in him at that price, please send me an email. I will file it with the others, and, in the event we are limited in availability, I will have to go by date received for the sales.He recently has been licensed for Hanoverian, and I have no doubt that he will be licensed by any and every registry available!

Look at my ARRICK HARPER now!!

2010-12-23T04:31:00.000-08:00

Look at Arrick strutting his stuff in Wellington! All braided up like a big horse!

Ilse Schwartz has done a brilliant job bringing the freedom and expression into Arrick's movement.

Arrick is a 3 year old son of Argentinus out of one of my homebred mares. He represents FOUR generations of my breeding program, going back to my foundation Trakehner mare, Helena E.

I have long believed in his quality. I am proud of Ilse for seeing the potential in this young horse and for doing the work to bring him along. You can see him showing down in Wellington come January. He is being geared for the Young Horse program and we are patiently waiting for the right rider to come along and want him for their very own. If you have any interest in trying him just let either of us know.

Livello son, Lion King

2010-12-22T13:37:00.000-08:00

SIEC Lion King, 4 year old son of SIEC Livello, shown here about 4 months under saddle. Just LOOK at his walk! Maybe we need a little of Livello in dressage breeding these days! Lovely gelding......... there are two more videos on You Tube of him over fences - you should see him! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntqReEg03tA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM7mnNSV_K4
We have doses of Livello available now, and are looking forward to a nice crop of foals, both hunter bred and jumper bred for 2011.

Reminding you about the quality stallion "Blue Hors ROMANOV"

Calido.........

2010-12-22T04:20:00.001-08:00

Yes, it is a fact - Paul Schockemoehle has bought Calido.

Whew! I don't know if we can stand any more big news from them!

Now, be patient, give them some time to get through the holidays, get the stallions moved, settled in, then we will hopefully be able to have semen for the U.S. this year. But, it won't be early.

New stallion, Fuerst Fugger

2010-12-20T04:46:00.000-08:00

Fuerst Heinrich - Weltmeyer - Pik Bube II

"A Fürst-Heinrich son clearly influenced by his sire with a coveted Hanoverian dam line in his pedigree; premium stallion of the Westphalian licensing in Münster-Handorf in 2008. A flawless exterior, he is also distinguished by well over average gaits with a striking trot, an expansive walk and a powerfully transmitted canter. Fürst Fugger did an outstanding job at his 30-day test the end of 2009 in Schlieckau, receiving scores above 9.5 in some areas. With an indexed score of 8.94 in dressage, he finished second in a lot of over 40 participants from all over Europe and ranked among the best overall."

Fürst Fugger comes from Hanoverian mare line 301/Elfenblume (by Elimar-Schutzwart-Schwabenkind-Neujurist).
Licensed for: Oldenburg, Rheinland, Westfalia, Southern German and new German State Verbands

A new video of my "Branca Leao"!

2010-12-15T11:07:00.000-08:00

BRANCA has been in training with Matt McLauglin down in Orlando for about 3 months. Here is new
video that they have made. Branca is just now 5 years and is doing a very good job under Matt's tutelage ; walk pirouettes, counter canter
and flying changes seem to come too easy. Branca is a wonderful character and solid 100% good guy. We are looking for a competition home for him, so if you are interested in a competitive Iberian horse, you are welcome to come try him.

Here is the link for my "old" foals page:

2010-12-10T04:39:00.000-08:00

I ran across this and thought you might enjoy going through the foals from years past. Some real beauties there from breeders all over the U.S. and Canada. I still miss my old format :-(

Look at the progress in "Stars"

2010-12-09T06:26:00.000-08:00

My 3 year old filly, "Heide von Brandenburg" (aka Stars), is just so nice under saddle.

Eline and Stars have been working weekly with Wim Foekma to develop a solid foundation, and we are all so impressed with the happy, willing and capable nature of Stars. She is due to foal soon - mid February, so we are getting in as much ride time as possible.

We have secured a supply of RICCIONE doses for this season!

2010-11-30T07:31:00.000-08:00

I am happy to be able to bring you doses again of this fancy, wonderful producing stallion, Riccione.

Since 2007 he has been owned by the Grunders in Switzerland, and has been shown successfully in Prix St. Georges, Inter. I and finally Grand Prix by Melanie Hoffman (shown here).

Riccione's offspring are impressive in type and movement - not to mention extreme beauty. He had 12 licensed sons just from his FIRST foal crop, 2 of which were Reserve Licensing Champion and 2 werereserve 30-day test Champions! He now has over 20 licensed sons, including Riccio, Riccidoff,Rigamento, Robespierrot, Rock Brasiliano. He has produced several Bundeschampionate finalists and over 20 States Premium mares.

We will have a limited number of doses available at $900 per dose - it has well proven fertility. Please take advantage of this while we can - it was hard to get it done!
