Breeding season 2015...

Lil Darlin at 3 1/2 months

This season of 2015 will have to go down for me as one of my worst in 41 breeding seasons! Granted, I am down to only 2 of my long time program's warmblood breeding mares, Dream Rubina and her sister Finale, but so far I have nothing from either one! Finale DID give 2 embryos by Grey Flanell and 1 embryo from DeNiro - unfortunately NONE of them survived in the recipient mares! Ugh..... I don't EVEN want to add that loss up!

The one bright spot is that my special dun Kiger/Andalusian mare, Cherokee Morning Breeze has given us another coming foal by the stallion Temptation (Tailormade Temptation). Her filly by him this year is just so exceptional. I just had to try again. And, of course, she conceived on one dose and is now 65+ days, and reported to be carrying a COLT for  2016! So, anyone wanting to snag another super interesting and stunning mover like Lil Darlin should pay attention!

Just LOOK at Lil now!! She is just something special!

ZONIK frozen semen has arrived - SOLD OUT

The ZONIK semen made it in just fine from Holland. I am so relieved that it is, because he is such a "hot" sire at the moment that they cannot keep up with breedings via cooled semen, and are using up the frozen there. His competition schedule will increase at the end of the breeding season, and there will not be another opportunity to collect for freezing.

This is the same reason that the other stallions owned by Glock's are not generally available for breeding. This might be the last we receive of Zonik for a while! It happened 2 years ago, when he sold to Glock's. They took him out of breeding to concentrate on his training. And what a smart decision that was... the progress that Ed Gal has made with Zonik is nothing less than stupendous.

Included in this shipment are also TOTO JR., Dark President, Alexandro P and Charmeur.

Quite Feine - 2 Weeks Under Saddle - She is SOLD

This is the darling young mare "Quite Feine", aka "Ellie", who has just turned 3 years of age! She has just been started and these photos and video show her less than 3 weeks under saddle. To say she is bright and willing is an understatement!

She is one of the first offspring of QREDIT under saddle. (Qredit, my breeding, by Quaterback out of my Dream Rubina) and she just could not be more delightful! She is a compact size for the more petite rider, probably topping at 15.3 - 16 hands. But don't tell HER that! She has movement like a Ferrari and a heart as big as Texas! Willing and ready to go, anywhere, anytime! She is just a delight to be around, sound, strong, healthy, with absolutely nothing to apologize for!

Oh.... you all are in for a BIG surprise!!

Next time you CLICK on Yancey-Farms.com you will go "Oh!" and you will smile, I am SURE of it!! After almost 20 years (since 1996 with my current website!) I capitulated and have been working with a couple of sharp ladies to put up a fresh new site, all tricked out with shopping cart and oh so much more!  I hope you will take the time to travel through the site and enjoy! It may take a few days for the Domain to totally switch over, but don't give up.

Thank you to Tandra Rabold of Oxygen Advertising here in Ocala and Nora Kramer of Photo Design by Nora. Tandra has been handling all of my advertising and web management for many years, and has been gently pushing me to do the work of a new site. Thank HER if you like it!

New pricing on Benetton Dream!

My inventory of Benetton Dream is now priced at $850 per dose! Fertility has always been excellent with the strong stallion. 


He is competing with Tinne Vilhelmsen Silfven in the Gran Prix. 

Benetton Dream has been very successful with the mare base in the U.S., producing strong, tall and athletic foals.

Great time to snag great shipping rates!

With a marked increase in my vapor shipper fleet, I am able to offer great rates. 

By ordering this time of the season, before the Chinese Fire Drill of needing doses the next day (!), we are able to ship out Fed Ex 2 day, and return ground, offering you a truly substantial savings in shipping costs.

For instance, I just processed two shipments, one going to Maryland was $182 roundtrip, and one going to California was $175. The savings of 2nd day over overnight are appreciable. 

Fuerst Noble, the "orphaned" colt, at 2 1/2 months

Proudly cared for by his biological Mom, Dream Rubina, Noble is thriving. And his adoption is a story for my book of horse stories over 40+ years of breeding.

The back story is that he lost his recipient Mom, Buttercup, at 7 weeks :-(

Within 12 hours he was accepted and attached to his true dam, the awesome mare Dream Rubina.

He still drinks his "bucket milk", and has his Mom for stability, discipline and direction.

He gets to visit with his Aunt Finale and friend Hear Me Sing

NOBLE is available for purchase to the dedicated, discerning trainer/owner. With his deep pedigree and athletic type, he should be a valuable addition to a quality program.

Am so well pleased with the excellent quality of this filly. Photos at 1 1/2 months. What more could you want?


















                       

Belantis, Bon Coeur, Fantastic, Finest now IN

The semen of the charming stallion BELANTIS has arrived on our shores!   Belantis won the German Young Horse Championships in Warendorf in September 2014,scoring a 9.20. 

The impressive and athletic Belantis scored 9.5 for walk and trot, 9.0 for canter, 8.5 for submission and 9.5 for general impression. Belantis has an outstanding character with three excellent gaits, is , according to his rider, very uncomplicated but "loves to show off in the ring".

As well as the semen of the exciting newly licensed BON COEUR. 

Premium stallion at the Verden licensing. His natural self carriage and his wonderful willingness to work, coupled with the great freedom of movement in all its three gaits make him the epitome of the modern sport horse. Coupled with best rideability this handsome young stallion leaves nothing to be desired.

Now is a good time to buy what you need for your season.

FIRST AMPERE - such a nice young horse!

His beautiful type, calm demeanor, excellent willingness to work, coupled with all that suppleness ... and that WALK! he has the makings of a very nice horse.



I have doses already in my tanks, so convinced am I in his qualities.

What a good stallion this is. Excellent fertility semen in stock.

Precious new filly by Tailormade Temptation out of Cherokee Morning Breeze

                                                                       

"Hey! I just found my brakes!"

This bright filly immediately earned the name LIL DARLIN', and you can see why.These photos are at 3 days. She has wonderful substance to her legs, strong joints and very correct. I am very pleased with the pairing, albeit a bit unusual!

Her sire is the well bred KWPN stallion TEMPTATION (Tuschinski - Haarlem).
Her dam is a registered Kiger, being by my own CHEROKEE TWISTER and out of Kiger mare by the great Andalusian sire, GAUCHO III.

 The DNA of the Kiger horses clusters just below the Iberian breeds (Andalusian and Lusitano). So it was no big stretch to add Andalusian blood to increase size, substance and freedom of movement. Then, when I added my own Twister (Himself a big Kiger at 16.1 hands), I got a powerful and good sized mare, with such movement that I just had to add some suppleness and.... Voila! A solid dressage prospect.

Fuerst Noble, colt by Fuerst Heinrich out of Dream Rubina at one month

Well, this is an interesting, powerful and correct colt with a deep and valuable pedigree.

These are classic German bloodlines for top dressage performance.

FUERST NOBLE is a direct son of the venerable stallion FUERST HEINRICH, who unfortunately was lost to the breeding community when he died an all too early death in 2007. His blood carries on through numerous licensed sons, most notable perhaps is FUERSTENBALL.

NOBLE'S dam, DREAM RUBINA ( Dream of Glory - Rubinstein - Herbststurm Tk - Pregel Tk) is a strong mare, who is known in the U.S. for her top quality son QREDIT   (by Quaterback) owned by Hilltop Farm and competing successfully under rider Michael Bragdell.

New doses arriving from handsome ALEXANDRO P !

ALEXANDRO P (KOSS – SATTELIET – URIANT) 

This shining example of high quality Gelderland blood is continuing to prove his extreme value as a sire.
He has Champion stallion sons, winning foals and he, himself, continues to impress under saddle.

He is used on riding type mares as well as harness mares. He gives his stamp in type, size, movement and bright character. He could be the perfect choice for all of you driving aficionados!!
Two CHAMPION  Stallion sons, 2013 and 2014

We have used his semen for many years, and the quality is excellent. 

Now that he has proven his value as an all around sire, I hope you will notice him!!
