More additions to Stallion Roster for 2015

As Stallion owners begin to confirm the availability and quality of semen from their stallions, we have added a few more youngsters.  *Caveat on young stallions: unproven fertility and unproven siring ability. There are some lovely, typey young stallions with good pedigrees, so for seasoned broodmares, could be some interesting options!

Updating the status of "Quite Feine"aka, "Ellie" by Qredit - now offered for sale

Ellie ,Dec. 16th, 2013

Ellie June 26,2014, now 3 years old

She is a precious thing, going through another growth spurt, but still so pretty and engaging.
With correct conformation, excellent energy, suspension and freedom of movement, she looks to be a promising competition horse, with deep pedigree for future breeding. She stands 15.3+ right now, so I suspect she will be a 16.1 hand mare when she is finished growing. Perfect for the Adult lady rider!

Her pedigree: Her sire is QREDIT (Quaterback -Dream of Glory - Rubinstein) 

Her dam is  VPS FEINER DANCE (Feiner Stern - Riverman - Condino)

Ellie on right, with her Granddam, Dream Rubina (dam of Qredit)

You can come visit her in Ocala .... she will charm you for sure!

This short write up on the charming and wildly talented jumper BALOU STAR is from my colleague James Crawford in England, who was present at the Hartpury stallion show over the weekend. Quite a few spectators claimed BALOU STAR as the STAR of the show.

BALOU STAR - NO fear!!

"BALOU STAR" wowed spectators at the BBSH Stallion Show at Hartpury yesterday by jumping to the top of the wings; the highest jump by the smallest stallion in the showjumping section! His obvious enthusiasm and technique over a jump won him many admirers, and after the end of the show his stable was crowded with visitors who had seen him performa and had wanted to meet him and talk to his owner, Udo Oppermann, and his rider Pippa Allen. His outstanding temperament was endorsed by the number of people who clustered around him in his stable, where he was enjoying all the attention in his usual very laid back way.

Once in the arena, he was transformed - springing forward to the jump, and looking as though he was enormous fun to ride. The Allens, with whom he will be based in 2015, confirm how easy he is to manage on the ground, and how responsive and trainable he is to ride. 

Several enquirers were interested to hear that although he only has a few progeny on the ground, so far both those our of warmblood mares and (in a couple of examples) ISH mare, all show every evidence of making 16.1+ hands. On the other hand, used on a blood pony mare he is likely to be an ideal prospect for breeding an outstanding young riders horse. "

Thank you James for the "eyes on" reporting from Hartpury. I had also read another account of the unbelievable jump that BALOU STAR showed, coupled with a super winning personality. He is a cutie!

With a wonderful pedigree (Balou du Rouet x Quick Star), lovely conformation and type, with outstanding athleticism and scope, BALOU STAR could fit into jumper programs here in the U.S., where we look for nice type, scope, bascule, movement, personality and rideability!
The frozen semen is now ready for shipment to U.S. Check him out and see if he can help in YOUR program.

Babies now have to be big girls, called "Yearlings"

Girlfriends

JURA YF by Totilas -Furst Heinrich - Rubinstein

SELAH DREAMGIRL by Sezuan - Painted Black - Donnerhall

A girl NEEDS a best friend.

And how lucky are Baby Jura and Selah to have each other !

JURA shows her sire's type, topline and neck set, as well as his use of hind leg.






SELAH DREAMGIRLis stamped by her sire, SEZUAN, with his long legs, narrower frame and his face, down to her markings. Happily, she has his breathtaking movement too. Someday we will get that on film! Check out her pedigree:

SEZUAN - PAINTED BLACK - DONNERHALL - LEMON xx - TRAPPER, going again back to the DETEKTIV line in her damline. A jewel of a pedigree



Baby Jura is into her showing off stage, still sassy from staying with her Mom so long! Milk fat and full of herself!

New Year's Colt, "Fuerst Noble"

NOBLE at 3 days

At 10 pm January 1st, the dear ET recipient mare, Buttercup, graced us with NOBLE!
He is unique in his pedigree, being a direct son of the memorable stallion, FUERST HEINRICH (deceased Fall of 2005)














His dam is our cornerstone mare, DREAM RUBINA (Dream of Glory - Rubinstein). "Beaner" is a valuable and admired mare, already well known as a top producer in the U.S. , notably through her stallion son, QREDIT by Quarterback, owned now by Hilltop Farm. 


 Here he is, first photos by Cookie, at 3 days of age. He had quite some tight quarters in his humble little ET recip mare, and is finally starting to unfold and "fluff up"!

Welcome, little Noble! (with a BIG personality!)

Some thoughts for you to ponder as we head to a new season of breeding.

Broere JAZZ will be with us again - semen in stock now

OK!!! I have had a wonderful sabbatical the last few months, and am feeling renewed and refreshed. 

I have some nice surprises coming in the Frozen Semen Program. 

We are adding a SALES page for all of the offspring of the stallions that I represent through my frozen semen program.  I believe it will prove to be a valuable tool for breeders, as I have so many serious warmblood breeders and trainers in my customer base. 

I still welcome your requests for breeding advice. With 40 years of experience in producing some pretty high quality dressage horses, I feel that I can give some good insight into pedigree analysis, conformation and choosing some options in stallions for breeding. 

Last, but not least, to answer the question I have been receiving daily lately ----- YES, I am adding some interesting new stallions for the season. Look for our new upcoming ad in Warmbloods Today, and the Stallion Directory .... and stay tuned to Judy's News! And we will continue to stock our favorite jumper sires, like KANNAN

KANNAN, currently  #1 jumper sire

I continue to stress the importance of using seasoned, proven breeding stallions in your fledgling programs. Stick with what is tried and true, and do not fall into the current thinking of "Flavor of the month" young stallions. Look to their sires, dams, dam's sires, etc. Those are the generations that are producing these fancy modern types. But these fancy modern types have not aged to the point of proving their value to consistently produce good riding horses. Please keep in mind that we should be striving to produce very rideable horses for our U.S. base of riders and trainers. You might notice that every now and then I have chosen a young stallion that I really believed in to introduce to the breeders here, i.e.: Quaterback, Ampere, Floriscount, and last year, Finest and Fiderbach. They ALL had something extra ordinary... not just their movement, but their depth of pedigree and correctness. Happily they are NOW beginning to prove their worth as breeding stallions, producing a consistent type, with the older ones already showing quality youngsters under saddle. And THIS year I am adding TOTO JR and APACHE

Anyway, stay tuned for my 30th(!!) season of providing frozen semen options to the breeders in the U.S.   Like my favorite stallions, My programs are..... "TESTED, TRIED and TRUE"

Prices are starting to settle, will be updating all soon...

Prices are clear for stallions that are in the first shipment coming out of Holland - some very good prices, due in part to the weaker Euro/stronger dollar status at the moment. Take advantage now! And prices for other additions are now firming up.

GLOCK'S TOTO JR. $850/dose

GLOCK'S ZONIK  $775/dose

VIVALDI $1225/ dose 

BROERE JAZZ  $995/dose

BALOU STAR $1000/dose
BELANTIS  $985/dose
BORSALINO $950/dose
ESTEBAN xx  $1250/dose (only a few doses left in world now, here with me)
FLORISCOUNT $950/dose
HERBSTKOENIG $825/dose
HOFRAT (new freeze, new owner) $925/dose
LEPRINCE DU BOIS $725/dose
NAMELUS  $950/dose
ODERMUS  $650/dose
QUINTERO LA SILLA  $950/dose
ROYALDIK   $725/dose
TRIOMPHE DE MUZE   $725

** The semen has safely arrived from Holland and we have already done our own testing. The VIVALDI doses are all from Fall of 2012, and show a 55% Progressive Post Thaw Motility. Calculating the number of cells for a good insemination dose, I will send the appropriate amount of straws for each of the collection dates. 
The TOTO JR semen looks VERY good. With 50% PPTM and 422 x 10 6 sperm/ml on the sample we thawed, we should have good fertility rates.

The Sons of Dream Rubina are growing up and proving it up!

Both of her oldest boys have been in the "news" this past week.
W. Ellington (by Wynton) is "Down Under" and looking magnificent, winning all challenges.

W.Ellington (imp) & Andrew Buckley in their workout to winning the All Breeds Led Challenge at the 2014 NSW Arabian State Titles. The same day Elmo also collected Supreme Champion Arabian Warmblood, Supreme Amateur Derivative and Grand Champion Led of Show.

And QREDIT (by Quaterback) , paired up with Michael Bragsdale is smoking at 3rd level ! From Hilltop Farms:

"Qredit finished out his show season at the CBLM Championships yesterday and remains undefeated at Third Level this year! His score of 72.805% won the Third Level Senior B Championships - a huge class with a very talented group of horses and riders. Congratulations Michael and good boy Q!"

And her youngest son is waiting for his turn!! Wait for "Jumpin Jack Flash"! (also by Wynton)

Dream Rubina's offspring keep making their marks on the Sporthorse World!

More good news on Dream Rubina's son by Wynton. It is so rewarding to see how hard Andrew and Tracey work and get "Elmo" out in competition. I always have a thank you for them! Just wish Australia weren't so far away.

Some days it only takes one person to make you smile....

Me smiling! 

Thank you Jeannine Neubauer for being so thoughtful as to take the time to share what was on your mind..... and for making me smile!!

Hello Judy! 
We have never met and you don’t know me but I feel like I have known you for years.  I first heard of you from Joyce Heizer years ago when she was your neighbor in TX.  I worked with her in Dayton, Ohio at Wright-Patterson AFB when she was doing AF Reserve duty.  I had just bred my TB mare to a lovely Trakehner stallion and of course we were off and running with that knowledge.  I lost touch with Joyce in a few years, but never forgot her talking of you.  Over the years, I enjoyed your web page and all of the absolutely beautiful babies you were breeding and the stallions you made available to U.S. mare owners. 
Jump ahead 20 years (with me still enjoying your web page) and I decide to start riding again after 30 years out of the saddle.  Retirement from federal service has taken me to my current status with time and a bit of money to take lessons with my Haflinger gelding (great pony for my 62 years on this earth).  I decided to ride with Sue Black of Trails End Equestrian Center in Dayton.  Wouldn’t you know that she had purchased Arrick Harper from you and there he was standing in the stall – as beautiful as any picture on your web site!  I was thrilled to be able to know a little about his breeding (Trakehner) and happy to watch him in person.
Now I am three years into my lessons and training and still enjoying your web site and seeing your Trakehner breeding program producing amazing horses.  I was awed to see Jura – what a stunning filly – again showing the Trakehner background. 
So…my reason for writing?  I wanted to congratulate you on 40 years of hard work and perseverance to produce such wonderful horses and to thank you for taking me along, albeit unknown to you, on this journey with the Trakehner horse.
Sincerely,
Jeannine Neubauer
