JURA YF, 2 year old filly - finally a video!

My special jewel has just been growing up - quite nicely, I think, for a 2 year old filly. She is 16 hands now and just as sweet as she has always been.

A study in genetics..... Furst Feliciano, one of the few direct sons of Furst Heinrich

Lately I have been watching a most interestingly bred young colt turning into a handsome young stallion, and thought it was time to photo document him, even though he is butt high at 17 months of age!

FURST FELICIANO by FURST HEINRICH - DREAM OF GLORY - RUBINSTEIN

Do you think he looks like his dam's sire, "DREAM OF GLORY"?

 Or do you think that he looks like his blood kin FURSTENBALL at 3 years of age?

Pretty neat, isn't it, how blood will tell? He is line bred back to the "R" line and the "D" line.

Shipments still arriving... Franziskus is coming again!

FRANZISKUS

OK! Time for 2016 FOALS FOR SALE! This is "Temptation's Twist" - my only foal this year!

OK! Time for 2016 FOALS FOR SALE! This is "Temptation's Twist" - my only foal this year!

"Temtwist" is an amazing boy. He is full sibling to the spectacular filly from last year that we called "Lil Darlin"..... and they are 2 peas in a pod. But the boy has 2 hind high socks, yet same star!

This is Lil Darlin the full sister to Temtwist, born in 2015. Photos about the same age as Twist now. From his Owner: Stephanie Sitzberger I can attest to the fantastic niche this breeding produces. The filly is sensitive, smart, brave and affectionate in temperament and breathtaking in movement. Can you tell I love her?

And THIS is what she turned into by 2 months of age!! 
Oh, is her owner happy with her now!
She was snapped up right away by a dressage rider/trainer with future competition in mind.


There is just an undeniable, special nick with Tailormade Temptation and Cherokee Morning Breeze. 
She is a powerful mare, whose hindquarters show up in these foals. Both foals are full of movement, power and are very correct in their conformation. TemTwist will be a big horse, as is his sister. Here are more photos of TemTwist

I offer him as a most special prospect for a nominal price.  If you have interest in this big boy, please give me a call! 1 800 867-7021

Don Juan de Hus semen ready for import

It has been about 5 years since I started trying to get Don Juan semen here, and finally they have a FEW doses frozen for US import. They did not do a long quarantine, just enough to get a small amount. It is expensive, but if you must have DON JUAN DE HUS, here is your opportunity. 
*Update: I did receive a semen report from them and the 4 straw doses are generous and semen numbers look very good. Proven fertility from his frozen.

First CANADIAN shipment ready to head out

KANNAN

Dear Canadian breeders, If you are needing anything from my Stallion frozen semen inventory, I am preparing the first large shipment of the year to head north. 

There is still time to jump on board for this shipment and there will be another one next month.

Also arriving from France - "Bentley Van De Heffinck" !

Bentley van de Heffinck - Belgian Warmblood

Bentley already is the sire of the French 5- and 6-year-old champions, as well as the 5, 6 and 7 year-old champions in Belgium. For such a young stallion, his youngsters are already the most impressive.

Bentley combines all the important blood of modern jumping breeding; Clinton, Darco, and Heartbreaker — all three of whom currently inhabit the world top ten sire ranking. The combination of Clinton x Heartbreaker has become the modern classic, resulting in the legendary Cornet Obelensky.  As a sire, he is suitable for producing jumpers, as well as event competitors.  He personally  has – and throws –  scope, athleticism and good looks!

With excellent quality semen priced at $675 per dose, Bentley could be an interesting addition to your breeding program.

Great new idea.... young stallion ARKINO Z for $450/dose!

ARKINO Z

Arko III – Caretino - Landgraf

Arkino Z is by Nick Skelton's top-jumper Arko III , and has already proven his jumping talent in young horses competitions.

In 2013 he qualified for the finals in the French Championships of five years-old show-jumping horses.

Licensed Zangersheide and foal eligible for registry with that stud book.

 INTRODUCTORY price for 2016 at $450 !!

"ELITE" stallion, QUATERBACK in a dressage competition

We never get to see Quaterback and Anna Weilert out in competition and thought I would share this with you. What a pleasant test.

"Revolution" - price has been increased again

Seems that the owners of Revolution are responding to the demand for breeding by increasing the pricing. When my initial order is sold out, you will see the price go up.

Why QUATERBACK produces such awesome hunters!

Warning - this is long and a lesson in breeding history and why pedigree is important!

QUATERBACK

Today, again, a young breeder wanted to follow up on my suggestion for her to use Quaterback on her mare, breeding for the hunter market. Well, I can understand that younger breeders don't know all this fabulous jumping blood in the background of Quaterback, but he has some real greats both top and bottom. First, lets start with his direct sire, QUATERMAN I, bred by the Haupt Gestuet Brandenburg

QUATERMAN I

Champion of 70 Day Test Neustadt/Dosse 2003

Qualified for the Bundeschampionat Finals in 2003, 2004 and 2005

Licensed for Berlin-Brandenberg, Sachsen-Anhalt, Sachsen and Thuringen

70 Day Test Neustadt/Dosse 2003

HLP: 126.80/1 DI: 134.75/1 SI: 101.40/8

Quaterman was by the Olympic dressage stallion QUANDO QUANDO (rider Ms. Oatley in 2008).

QUANDO QUANDO

His career in sport and breeding was exemplary, beginning in 1995 as a top colt at the Vechta auction, continuing to become the 1c Premium winner at the Stallion approval and the undisputed Winner at the Stallion Performance Test with the highest possible score of 10 for character and willingness to perform, a score of 9.5 for rideability and a score of 9 for temperament, walk, trot and canter. And ever since, his success in sport and breeding has reached an impressive maximum. Highlights in sport have been participation in the Bundeschampionat finals for 5 and 6 year old dressage horses, 5th place at the World Championships in the class for 6 year old dressage horses as well as 5th place at the Nurenburger Burgpokal 2003, prior to which he won the VTV Dressage Stallion of the Year Award. With no effort at all, first places in international Grand Prix followed in 2004 and he won the World Cup B finals in Dortmund which resulted in his nomination for the Olympic Games in Athens.
Quando-Quando also made a name for himself as a maker of first class horses. More than 90% of his foals were awarded a Premium at the Oldenburg branding events in 2004. In Berlin-Brandenburg, strong moving offspring by this stallion each year were winners at Foal Championships and broodmare shows. In the Brandenburg/Sachsen breeding area alone, many State Premium mares confirm the quality that Quando-Quando passes on to his daughters. In 2004, after Quaterman and Quentchen Gluck, Quiroga was Quando-Quando's third son to be Licensed. His offspring are very popular because of their modern, noble looks, outstanding rideability and strong movements and they also have the good jumping ability his pedigree promises. All of these characteristics are impressively documented in the FN's 2004 Predicted Breeding Value statistics. 

Quando-Quando was one of the "top five" dressage stallions with a breeding index of 151 points.

The dam of QUATERMAN was a mare Rauberbraut by ROCCODERO B. He is a sire of sires as is his father RONALD. Roccodero was the overwhelming winner of his Approvals and was the crowd favorite. He had many top progeny who are winners at international jumper level. He was exported to Australia. His Sire, Ronald competed in intermediate show jumping with Hans Gunther Winkler.  RONALD was sire of:  Roccodero (Champion Stallion Neumunster 1982), Saluut,(licensed by WMPN, sire of Saluut II, who earned most $ in one year as Grand Prix jumper in U.S. history), Ricardo (elite sire, Baden-Wurttemberg), and Dukaat (7 th 1994 Dressage World Championships).  Ronald was the Maternal Grandsire of Alcatraz (1988 Stallion Performance Test Winner), Libero H (show jumping World Cup winner)

Shall I go on with our lesson???

The Great Grand sire of QUATERBACK , Quattro was a Selle Francais born in 1990. He was 2nd in the Performance Test at Medingen with a high score of 130 points, scoring 128.02 in the jumping and 121.15 in dressage. In 1994, he was Reserve Champion of the Oldenburg Korung, based on his performance test and his first offspring. Quattro jumped very well in 1996 with his rider Gilbert Bockmann and they won more than twenty 1.30m courses through the summer. Quattro jumped on the international circuit successfully, including 2nd in the Grand Prix of Emsburen, Kiel and Bremen. He also was successful in Caen, Leeuwarden, Berlin, Munich and Geneva.
His first offspring show spectacular gaits and also inherited Quattro's beautiful type and free jump very well. Since 1997, Quattro has more than 10 Approved sons: Quando Quando, Quantes, Quatier latin, Quell charmeur, etc. Quattro's offspring Quando Quando, Much Ado and Quantum Tyme are famous in Grand Prix dressage. Quattro remarkably had two offspring qualified for the Olympics in Athens 2004: Quando Quando for dressage and Oliver Q for jumping !!

QUATTRO

Quattro is a son of Qredo de Paulstra, winner of the Grand Prix of Bordeaux. Qredo is sired by the legendary Galoubet, who twice won World Cup Qualifiers and produced international jumpers such as Quick Star and Baloubet du Rouet. Grandfather Alme is even more famous with offspring such as Jalisco B and I Love You. On Qredo's mare's side, we find Furioso, father of Lutteur (gold medalist Tokyo) and Le Tyroll. On Quattro's dam's sire side, we find the important Quastor, Uriel/Nankin and Enfant Terrible.

And that is just QUATERBACK'S SIRE'S SIDE!!

The dam of QUATERBACK, Passionata, is by the Oldenburg bred and licensed BRANDENBURGER. He won his HLP in Neustadt/Dosse in 1991 (1/34) with a total score of 134.06, scoring 125.85 (3) in jumping and 138.39 (1) in dressage.  

BRANDENBURGER - just look at his beautiful form over fences!

BRANDENBURGER was by the interesting Dutch bred stallion BEACH BOY by ZEUS! And out of a dam by LUCKY BOY xx. Do I really need to go into who those two greats were???

Rounding out the damline of BRANDENBURGER is the super sire ..... the best of the Ferdinand line of the Hanoverians, WENDEKREIS, one of my all time favorites for passing on willingness to work and all round athleticism. 2nd dam's sire is the TB WAIDMANNSDANK, so important in the Hanoverian breeding also. 

Looking at the technique and form of BEACH BOY, you can see how the pedigree goes on in QUATERBACK to give this athleticism and hunter style to his offspring! All of these great sires have donated some of their genetics to make QUATERBACK the super neat all round sire that he is!

Quaterback son winning in the U.S.

So! Did you enjoy your journey into Breeding History "a la Judy" ??

"Judy's Special Deal" ..... a new addition to the frozen semen program!

Throughout the season, I will be posting "Judy's Special Deal" on selected stallions, reducing the price for a "sale" of interesting stallions.

Belgiam Warmblood breeders please take special note!

 My first pick of the season is Triomphe de Muze, (Chin-Chin - Galoubet A). This stallion has entered the TOP 100 of the WORLD RANKINGS for jumper sires, at #80. 

An elegant stallion which will refine and modernize most mares, with great looks and movement, he adds scope and respect over a fence.

Triomphe already has 41 international offspring in CSO. These include:
Arc de Triomphe, Casper de Muze (Guy Williams), Candy Boy, Condor and Chocolate van het Beekhof.

Triomphe will suit most mares, including tb types for eventing. He gives a long elegant neck, improves walk and canter. Mares with very long back should be avoided, but normal to short length backs will do well. He improves back strength.

We had outstanding fertility with his semen last year, so I recommend him as a solid producer at a good price point.
