Yancey Farms - News and Updates!

	GRACIELLA by GRANULIT out of REINA H FINALLY! An owner of one of my produce sends me a competition photo! I am so thankful to Sue Starling for taking the time, effort and thought to update me on the progress of this beautiful young mare. This was the first foal of my good mare, Reina H. Sue bought Graciella as a foal and has done all the work with her along the way. She says: That was the 3'3" Modified Amateurs. This year I started in the speed bump division, the first week, and by week 6, I did the 3'6". We were very comfortable in the 3'3" (2 weeks of that), then moved to the 3'6" where I got a little nervous and made some mistakes. We were Champion 2 weeks at HITS, once in the Adult Amateur (3'), then in the Modified one week. She needed more jump than 3'. That picture is not the norm, as I had boo-booed earlier in the course, had a rail, and she was soaring. As my trainers say, "she is careful.". She is jumping the standards in that pic. She has been a fun project. She is so smart, She wants to please and I have just had too much fun riding her to breed her, and I know I should. Oh, and then we did one of the RMI shows in May, 3'3", and were Champion. Thank you Sue! Anyone else out there want to send me photos of my "babies" ??? 06/29/2009
	Chacco Blue and Furst Romancier - NEWS! Good news on two of our favorite stallions this year! From the stables of Paul Schockemoehle comes the news that CHACCO BLUE placed a 3rd in the Gran Prix at the big German Championships in Balve last weekend. He had also won 3rd in the Gran Prix at Norten-Hardenberg. This young stallion's career is on the rise, and his success as a sire is also solid. FURST ROMANCIER has been chosen as one of the 5 year olds that will represent Germany in the World Championships for Young Horses. His first foal crop is acclaimed as "brilliant" and quite a few of us are expecting foals from him next season. My first colt by him is with BELROSE, and is due very early. 06/23/2009
	Dropping ATT service After having had my yanceyfarms@att.net email address for over 12 years, I have decided to give it up. I continue to have increase in problems of people not receiving my emails, my emails going in their Spam folders, or me not receiving YOUR emails. I can't even find anyone to help me at ATT. SO>>>> I will be using my yanceyfarms@hughes.net Hopefully, this will not cause too much confusion as I change over ads, etc. Thanks, Judy 06/17/2009
	Finally - photos of ELLINGTON! Things have been a bit hectic around here, but finally Cookie and I made time to take photos of ELLINGTON . I have told you that he had shed into this brilliant liver chestnut, and with his bold white stockings, he makes a super handsome package, doesn't he? ELLINGTON is by WYNTON out of DREAM RUBINA (Dream of Glory - Rubinstein). He has a glorious pedigree to go along with his special looks, conformation, type, and movement. 06/13/2009
	Ellington 3 months - now for sale He is a tall colt. Highlights of his conformation are a wonderful hip with strong hock joints giving him excellent push from behind and elevation in the front. His legs are strong and correct. He has lovely , long lines and elegant neck. His personality is honest and trainability is very good. I am very pleased with him and offer him for sale now. 06/13/2009
	My 3 year old Lusitano - BRANCA LEAO I want to share recent "Cookie" photos of Brance Leao (White Lion). He has been under saddle the past few months, and has wiggled his way into our hearts around here. (And the girls , too! He is still a stallion!) He is really growing (16.1 now) but is a wonderfully comfortable ride, and so smart. I beg your indulgence in my postings of all his photos! 05/29/2009

	DON SCHUFRO colt at Red Hawk Ranch, Ca. Lynn Randle reports on another new colt: "This is Red Hawk's "Don Sargasso" (named after the only sea on earth with no boundaries) Colt by Don Shufro out of our Sir Oldenberg Mare. Photo was taken at 10 days of age. Very uphill, athletic...super character (none of the mare's flightiness)." Please check out the NEW FOALS page for all the latest gorgeous foals! 05/27/2009
	We are OUT of Cryodrums for the season and are having difficulty scheduling another shipment from France. Please mark the contracts for a reduced handling fee of $100 and I will use my regular vapor shippers. Many thanks. 05/26/2009
	Already we are through breeding for 2009! Scary that it seems only a few weeks ago was Christmas, and the first colt was born shortly after. Now we have had 8 healthy foals, and all the mares have bred back with ONE dose of frozen semen (and Isabel with one insemination of a gorgeous buckskin Lusitano stallion, Veneno!). We have begun our fetal sexing exercise (!) , so if you see anyone that you want to put dibs on , please let me know! ATEE x SAN AMOUR (filly) - mare is sold BELLA ARGENTINA x DIAMOND HIT (mare FOR SALE) BELROSE x FURST ROMANCIER (colt)(mare FOR SALE) DONNABELLE x QUATERBACK - Mare is sold DREAM RUBINA x AMPERE (filly) FINALE x BELISSIMO M (foal is spoken for) ISABEL x VENENO Lusitano ISSANDRA x SIR DONNERHALL (filly) mare FOR SALE TAMARINDE x FLORESTAN (not fetal sexed yet) We will do fetal sexing as these mares hit the 60+ day mark, and I will update. I also have one more mare that we bred just today and will add her when she is checked in foal. You will see the absence of my cornerstone mare, REINA H - continued problems have prevented us from breeding her yet. Always hopeful though! Happily I have 3 excellent daughters from her, with 2 of them already in the breeding program. The 09 foals continue to thrive, with the Wynton colt becoming tall, dark, handsome and impressive! All the girls are sweet and lovely ... and the boys rowdy and having a great time! 06/08/2009
	Proving again that dreams DO come true! Breeder Karina Maher took the bold step to buy ARGENTINUS semen a couple of years ago. Looks like she was well rewarded!! Hi Judy, Here is a picture of my mother's day filly born May 11,2008. What a nice gift an ARGENTINUS - QUIDAM DE REVEL. I think she might jump!!! Thanks a million, Karina 05/23/2009
	SHILOH 1 month 05/21/2009
	Isabel and Shiloh For your viewing pleasure (!) here is a recent photo of my little pets, Isabel and her daughter by Sandro Hit, SHILOH; here shown at about 1 month. The color is BUCKSKIN and she may or may not end up with dorsal stripe like her dam carries. SHILOH has promised to carry me on her back like Pegasus across the skies! - so she stays. 05/21/2009
	My next special mare FOR SALE is BELLA ARGENTINA. Such a sweet and wonderful young mare she is.... with a pedigree most impressive: ARGENTINUS - RUBINSTEIN - INSCHALLAH - ULTRASCHALL - FURIOSOxx - MIRACOLO xx AND >>>> She is IN FOAL for 2010 to the super dressage horse maker, DIAMOND HIT !! Her first filly by DREAM OF GLORY is absolutely awesome! I am most impressed by her first foal,her mothering ability, her level head, and charming personality. I am very proud of her. She is young, healthy, sound and could be put under saddle. You can read more about her, and her dam, BELROSE on my "Our Horses" page. Call with any questions you might have. 05/20/2009
	My next broodmare offering...UPDATE: Atee is SOLD This is a wonderfully kind Verband Premium Westfalen mare, ATEE, (Abanos - World Magic). You can read more about her on the "Our Horses" page. She is offered for sale in foal for March 2010 to SAN AMOUR - it is a cross that I am most excited about out of this year's breedings. Atee has a special, charming and correct filly by Florestan this year, and has proven her capability as a top class producer and great Mom. Atee is still young (6) that if you want to put her back to work you can. She has awards and placings in dressage (young horse tests) and did a very good mare performance test. She is sound, healthy and nice to be around. I am proud to offer such a nice mare , bred to an exciting stallion. Thank you, Michelle.... ATEE will move to Washington State after her filly is weaned. 05/18/2009
	Floretienne at 2 weeks The is such a well conformed colt .... exquisite type and beauty with wonderful topline. He shows the beauty of his dam, TAMARINDE and the style of his great sire, FLORESTAN. I hope there is someone out there that might be interested in raising a stallion prospect. Etienne has pedigree, conformation, type, movement......... all the makings of a special young man. 05/11/2009
	For Sale now - yearling Quaterback filly, Quincara You may remember our darling QUINCARA from last year. She was the preemie ET filly by QUATERBACK our of REINA H by RUBINSTEIN. Her ET Mommie had her very early, and so I was hesitant to offer her for sale until I was convinced that she was 100% Well, she IS 100% - 100% fun, healthy, sweet, beautiful, lovely moving, etc!! This darling filly is going to be someone's dream buddy. She is always willing to please, is going to be a nice size, probably 16.1 and also has a wonderful pedigree for future breeding. The fillies of my cornerstone mare, REINA H, are very much cherished around here. I have held two other daughters as breeding prospects. Here is small footage of "CARA" from yesterday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=km3s7GFdwyM If you have interest in a talented , well bred young daughter of Quaterback, give me a call. 05/01/2009
	Does this catch your eye ? I like this photo of my brother and me on my birthday last Friday. But I really want to announce the: DATE FOR THE GERMAN OLDENBURG VERBAND INSPECTION this year! It has been set at the very beginning of the 2009 tour for SATURDAY, JULY 11 ! Please mark your calendars and come visit even if you are not bringing a horse. 04/28/2009
	WYNTON at the World Cup! WYNTON impressed the judges and wowed the crowds at the World Cup in Las Vegas recently. As I had told you earlier, he was chosen to represent the KWPN as the "winningest" dressage horse in Netherlands. In his exhibition ride, he scored an 8.68! Friend and fellow Floridian, Ilse Schwarts, took this photo of Wynton and Edward Gal and sent me her glowing reports on Wynton. She has other photos on her magazine's website: http://www.dressage-news.com/ We are pleased with the foals this season, and proud that Wynton is such a phenomenal competition horse. Another friend and fellow breeder, Lloyd Landkamer, was the FEI Chief Steward for the World Cup competition and had opportunity to watch Wynton in action and talk to Ed Gal about him. Gal reported that Wynton has such excellent work ethics. 04/23/2009
	CONNERY ! I am happy to revert to my Trakehner roots to bring you frozen semen of one of the finest producing Trakehner stallions alive. CONNERY comes from the long established Trakehner stud farm Hoerem, started in 1927 by Family Poll. MANY years ago (1981 or 2) I bought my very best young Trakehner stallion , MAHON, at this farm, so my association with Hoerem goes back a long way. I admire and trust in the breeding program there, and CONNERY has proven that he blends well with Hanoverian and Oldenburg mares. CONNERY is a tall (170 cm), elegant, and very handsome stallion, licensed for Trakehner, Hannover and Oldenburg. 04/16/2009
	Many breeders, myself included, find ourselves with mares that we would like to refine. Well, it is hard to find a "refining" stallion these days; all the young stallions being licensed are of strong caliber to huge! Of the Trakehner stallions available to breeders, I belive this sire, CONNERY, is the safest bet as far as tranmitting type, TEMPERAMENT, willingness to work, as well as suppleness and elasticity through the body. Here is his home site: http://www.hoerem.de/hengste/connery/ I will translate and make a stallion page for him - sorry, I have been a little busy and have not gotten it done! The semen is of excellent quality. I think many of us will find a super cross for our substantial or old fashioned type mare with this wonderful stallion. He is a worthy competitor at M/A and higher now , with his new rider Anna Sophie Fiebelkorn (photo). He is sire of BC, Imperio, a young Trakehner stallion and Chapeau Claque , a super Hanoverian son out of a Davignon mare. CONNERY has many youngsters placed in the sport, with 3 others qualified for the BCs last year. Introductory price is $800 per dose. 04/16/2009
	ISSANDRA by Fidertanz - Figaro - Inschallah - Zeus ISSANDRA is the next mare IN FOAL that I offer for sale. She is IN FOAL to SIR DONNERHALL for early 2010. Issandra is an imported filly from Germany, with solid pedigree. She has been slow maturing, and will not turn actually 3 until late June. It is time to start her under saddle and enjoy her nice personality. She has the makings of a dependable broodmare, as she conceived on one dose of semen, first breeding! (Gotta love mares like that ) Here is a little footage of her. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQm9SDTgnaM If you are interested in a reasonably priced, imported, well bred AND pregnant young mare, please give me a call so I can tell you more about her. 04/14/2009
	Well, look who is here! This is SHILOH at 9 hours this morning........ a very interesting filly, grulla in color. She is by Sandro Hit out of Cherokee Isabel. ISABEL is by the fabulous Andalusian stallion, GAUCHO III and out of my original claybank colored Kiger mare, Cherokee Diamond Mirage. I was try to breed another personal riding gelding, to replace the one that I lost by lightening 2 years ago. Not to be a gelding, but a special , TALL, filly , who is sweet and has super long legs. She will be a looker. 04/13/2009
	Lord Leo at 2 years now UPDATE** Leo is SOLD Spring has arrived, and I am preparing several youngsters for sale. Here is LORD LEO , by LORD SINCLAIR out of KWPN mare PREFERENCE by Jonggor's Weyden. He already sticks 16.2, good legged, powerful, energetic, with active hind leg and good push. He has always been exceedingly healthy. He is reasonably priced, as I am not used to keeping geldings and am not keen on having to start them at 3! We took advantage of yesterday's cool, fresh temperatures to video also.... and Leo was fresh!There is some footage of Leo on Your Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pmb5sHdtXQ 06/19/2009
	The LAST Dream of Glory ??? here - 4 hours old You may remember that I used my last dose of the long deceased, but very special stallion, DREAM OF GLORY (Donnerhall - Pik Bube - Roumadour II). We had 3 straws left, and one blew in the water bath, leaving us a short dose. Well, maiden mare BELLA ARGENTINA conceived, and I dreamed about one last filly from Dream of Glory. My best young producer is my homebred mare, DREAM RUBINA, by Dream of Glory out of Reina H (Rubinstein) It seemed that it would not be the filly I dreamed of. "It" was called "colt" on fetal sexing (which we have just been "practicing"). All year long I was sad each time I thought about the colt that was coming, and that I would have to sell. But, I kept praying! (Seeing as I am STILL a dreamer and believer!) Wonder of wonders, IT'S A GIRL !!!!! And her name is BELIEVE IN DREAMS !! Please welcome this bright eyed girl! "I believe in miracles" !!!........(singing the song! ;-) 04/05/2009
	"Believe In Dreams' A God's gift on a beautiful Sunday! Here she is with her sweet Momma, BELLA ARGENTINA (Argentinus - Rubinstein - Inschallah) Seems like only a few days ago Bella was a baby. What a wonderful, tall filly she brought today. Bella is out of BELROSE, and has a full sister from last year - Bel Aurora (Baby Bel). 04/05/2009
	"Belrose" by Bob Langrish Surely, most of you have run across the equine photography work of British based Bob Langrish. His photos are in magazines, calendars and books around the world. He is particularly known for showing the horse "at liberty", and for photo documenting breeds all over the globe. Here he captured a moment of my special mare "Belrose". Remember - you can click on the photos to enlarge. 04/04/2009
	Ellington at one month We enjoyed our annual visit with British equine photographer, Bob Langrish a few days ago. Here is a shot he took of Dream Rubina and her Wynton colt, Ellington. Ellington gets stronger and more impressive by the day - such incredible freedom of movement. 04/04/2009
	"Sugar Bear" by Bob Oh, everyone falls in love with Sugar Bear. Her name is FIDELIA, by FLORESTAN out of SPS ATEE (Abanos - World Magic) Bear is about 6 weeks old now. Don't even THINK about it !! ;-) 04/04/2009
	Hah! Look at THESE Twins!! These are photos of two of my colts this year. They look like twins or, at least, by the same sire, don't they? It's hard to tell them apart! One is by Quaterback out of Tamarinde (Jazz - Matador II - Rubinstein) and one is by Wynton out of Dream Rubina (Dream of Glory - Rubinstein)! Which is which????? This is called a breeder's "Consistency of type". Miss COOKIE captured the two boys at play. 04/04/2009
	Blue Hors Zack The new DVD of the stallions of BLUE HORS has arrived. It will be included in all future purchases of our DVD sets. Zack has matured very well and looks great under saddle. Remember, he is ROUSSEAU - JAZZ. Here is the link to his page, where you can review his pedigree, see photos of his kids and see video. http://www.bluehors.net/cms/front_content.php?client=1&lang=2&idart=50 We have Zack, Romanov, Don Schufro, Laredo and Don Romantic in stock now. ROMANOV is fast becoming a super star, not only for his dressage work, but for the superior quality of his offspring and licensed sons. 03/26/2009
	AMPERE now licensed SWEDISH too So, he is licensed: KWPN German Oldenburg German Hanoverian (petition AHS, breeders!) Westfalen Rhineland Finland Sweden all South German Associations We are expecting our second shipment of semen this week. So far, the semen looks absolutely fabulous. 03/24/2009
	Wow! Do you know what this is? This is "AMPERE" semen, post thaw. I wish you could see the video of it! The semen is most excellent. 03/18/2009
	FOR PLEASURE semen here - only a few doses left at this price I am pleased to tell you jumper breeders that the frozen semen of FOR PLEASURE is safely here. The collections are very high quality and are specially priced at $2475 per dose (slight increase as the dollar changed). We ARE able to ship this semen to Canada, so take advantage of this special offer. When these doses are gone, they are gone. FOR PLEASURE had a stellar career and has a most impressive number of offspring doing the Gran Prixs. As I said before, if this good stallion fits your breeding program, don't pass up this opportunity to use him now. Dollar has dropped in value another 5 cents , so cost is up to $2475 as of 3/10/09. We have only 5 doses left today at this price. 03/18/2009
	"Just another day in paradise...." We had fun today working my Dutch Shepherd pup, Phoenix. This is my friend, Fred Tuller, who not only is our favorite horse trainer, but also has history working with Schutzhund and other training with dogs. Phoenix has natural drive for herding and responding to commands. She LOVES the horses, so she got some great work today. This is one of our special Kigers , Warrior (aka "Doodle Bug"!!) 03/12/2009
	More big news for WYNTON We have just learned that ,as the winner of all the Dutch competitions, WYNTON is invited to represent the KWPN and Holland at the FEI World Cup in Las Vegas on Friday April 17! In addition to two United States Horses (Valeska DG-rider Willy Arts, Big Tyme - rider Mirisa Festerling) Europe will be represented by Della Cavalleria, rider Kira Wulferding and WYNTON with EDWARD GAL. So, please, if any of you are attending the World Cup, make sure to watch WYNTON. He is delightful to watch in person. 03/12/2009

	My "Dream Rubina" I just love this mare and wanted to share this shot I captured when she took her new son, Ellington, out for the first time. She is a homebred mare, by Dream of Glory and daughter of Reina H,by Rubinstein, who also was homebred. 03/07/2009
	"But, Mother, wait!!" 29 hours old Ellington, first time out with Mom - quite a lot of work! 03/07/2009

This is my homebred, Verband's Premium mare DREAM RUBINA by Dream of Glory out of Reina H by Rubinstein. This is her 3rd foal, and he is a tremendous colt.He has wonderful correct legs; strong joints, excellent forearm muscling and nice low set hocks. I see a nice long neck, which is a bit different than her last two foals; pretty face and open character. His IgG just came in and he's a healthy 2354! HE was supposed to be a SHE.... ahemmm..... but, that's ok! Riders love the boys, and this will be one spectacular riding type. It's a great day. I'll put other photos on Foals page.

	FIDELIA - aka "Sugar" This precious child is shown here at one week of age. She is by FLORESTAN out of SPS Atee (Abanos - World Magic). She is such a little lady, and came out welcoming the world. 03/04/2009
	Flying "Chuck" !! This is SO typical of this athletic Quaterback colt. He hasn't been given an official name, but somehow he gained the name "Chuck" the other day. It fits him! He is such a delight to watch. He is a stellar colt, showing all the best qualities of his sire and some pizazz from his beautiful dam, Tamarinde (Jazz - Matador II) More photos on "Foals" page. BTW, Chuck is sold. 03/04/2009
	A precious surprise..... This is a BRAND NEW filly (shown here at 12 hours today). She is by FLORESTAN out of my beautiful mare, SPS ATEE (Abanos - World Magic) This filly is tall, long legged with just a beautiful little face. Her name is FIDELIA. 02/21/2009
	a 5 day old WONDER !! Here is a brilliant colt by QUATERBACK out of our TAMARINDE (Jazz - Matador II - Rubinstein) He was born last Monday, but I just hadn't gotten around to taking a photo until today (Sat. the 21st) So exciting to see the super qualities of Quaterback coming through again. Beautiful face, thos QBack long front legs; strong hind end and happy "joi de vivre"! (Or, how do you spell that??) Oh, his ET Mommy, a darling QH buckskin mare, is so very proud of him and did just a wonderful job. He is a BIG boy! And look at his chrome..... 02/21/2009
	Our first 2009 foal is growing nicely! This is "QUITO", the strong and agile son of Quaterback and Belrose. Photo is at 5 weeks. His Mom, Belrose, is already back in foal, bred to Fuerst Romancier ... such a mare! New 2009 foal photos are going up on the "New Foals" page, which can be accessed from the home page banner. 02/15/2009
	WYNTON does it again !! I have been dying to tell all of you of WYNTON's latest big win! Each year in Holland, the big KWPN stallion competitions start in December. This year, Wynton could not start the season, since his regular rider, Madeleine Witte-Vrees has stepped out of the saddle on pregnancy leave! Edward Gal won his first competition outing with Wynton, and came to the last stallion competition on Feb. 8th to do it again! He was the overall winner of the 6 year old stallion competition with a total of 91 points. This is a photo of Ed Gal riding Wynton at that competition. On Friday, Feb 13th, Wynton made a beautiful showing at the stallion presentation in Vechta of the stallions represented by Ahlers breeding station in Germany. We eagerly anticipate our first U.S. bred Wynton foals soon. Breeders, please be sure to send me your photos! 02/15/2009
	SUPER NEWS! AMPERE is now licensed HANOVERIAN too! Our Ampere frozen semen has arrived. 02/15/2009
	Report on AMPERE DNA test..... states that AMPERE is not a carrier of the chestnut gene. Thought that might interest some. 01/19/2009
	May I introduce BENTLEY ?? This is the lovely young Hanoverian stallion by BELISSIMO M out of a WELTMEYER dam. He has caused quite a stir since he was licensed, and has been immediately popular to breeders in Germany. If you think this bloodlines will complement your mare, we have frozen semen available at $750 per dose. Please let me know if you have interest! 01/16/2009
	More exciting news on AMPERE! Well, its official ... the frozen semen of AMPERE is ready for us and will be coming over in a couple of weeks. After congenial negotiation with the Reesink brothers, we are able to bring in a larger supply than first allotted. As well, Yancey Farms has been given exclusivity in North America. This young stallion has just hit Europe by storm, and breeders are lining up. He will be presented to the Hanoverian stallion licensing jury by the end of the month. They will no doubt see his outstanding qualities, so those mare owners here can be excited, too, that they can use this awesome youngster in their programs. Although the stud fee and frozen semen prices are high, I think it will be a good value at $950 per dose. The PPTM is reported at 60% on most all of the freezes. AMPERE is licensed KWPN, German Oldenburg, Westfalian, Rheinland. Find video footage on Reesink's website: http://www.reesinkhorses.nl/horses_details.php?tar=paard&Paardid=108 01/28/2009
	Our little holiday bundle !!! Please welcome Junior Bel into the last days of 2008. This is a Quaterback colt out of Belrose (Rubinstein - Inschallah) He is all boy and such a delight - one of those happy, funny personalities already. This is our second dark bay foal from Quaterback. I can see his sire's big shoulders, same croup, same long front legs. This photo is at 3 days. 12/31/2008
	FYI I am "bumping up" this topic as we draw near to new season: Let me make something clear about my "frozen" business... I am often asked if I can bring in particular stallion's frozen semen from Germany, Holland, etc. The answer is "Sure I can", but that is not the nature of my business. I do not offer hundreds of stallions....I only REPRESENT those stallions that I admire, am personally familiar with and wish to use in my own program. Many of you have taken advantage of my years of knowledge and success to help you choose a stallion for your mare. That knowledge can only come from hands on experience, which I do not have with all the hundreds of stallions who are available through frozen semen in Europe. I have always given, and will continue to offer personalized service, and you can be sure of getting my voice on the phone when you call. The difference between the way I do business and any other frozen semen import service in this country, is that Yancey Farms is the ONLY frozen semen importation service in the U.S. that keeps inventory all year round. We maintain substantial inventory and can usually ship from one day to the next. I personally visit the stallions in my program, and adjust the roster from year to year, as I evaluate the offspring of the stallions. Some stallions are deleted from the list if I am not pleased with what I see. I have certain "HOT PICKS" for the year....this year's "HOT PICKS" are QUATERBACK, AMPERE and WYNTON. Proven sires, such as DON SCHUFRO, DIAMOND HIT,SIR DONNERHALL and SANDRO HIT remain high on the list. The young stallions FAREWELL III and FIDERTANZ continue to impress me with the quality of their offspring. Having CHEQUILLE Z again is super. STATUS QUO is an awesome young stallion that is reasonably priced. I keep a few jumper sires, and can order anything you want from Schockemoehle's, Klatte's , Sosath's, Seifert's ..... I have been importing and shipping frozen equine semen since 1988. I have hundreds of satisfied customers, who experienced high conception rates in their mares, and have the foals to prove it.

	I promised you something exciting!! How much more exciting than the fabulous young KWPN stallion , AMPERE !! (Rousseau - Flemmingh - Amor - Farn) Champion of the stallion show in Den Bosch and the convincing champion of the spring performance test in Ermelo 2008. By the guest riders described as the best stallion of the last couple of years. His grades at the performance test speak for themselves, walk, 8, trot 9, canter 9,5, suppleness 9, selfcarriage and balance 8,5, ridability and character 9, suitability as a dressage horse 9, total score 88.5. The stallion attracts attention with his fantastic canter, suppleness and super character. He has just completed his 70 days' test, with scores that are equivalent to about an index of 150 in Germany! He has a great mind and incredible movement. Just check out his inspection video on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZpC1VNvMgI I have requested that he be inspected and licensed by the German Oldenburg Verband for us. I think he will be a lovely cross with some of our strong mares. I am still working on a few others.. stay tuned! 12/05/2008
	Already a new stallion to add to the lineup! FINALLY, we have frozen semen of DIARADO, the awesome young jumper that Schockemoehle's bought in partnership with the Holsteiner Association and Joop van Uytert. Price is $1500 per dose. High quality semen. Here is a link to his page on Schockemoehle's website, where you can see video. http://www.schockemoehle.com/englisch/s333928.html 12/05/2008
	Changes to website complete... and an exciting new product! The list of stallions , new fee schedule, new contract are online now... and EXCITING new information on a brand new DISPOSABLE vapor shipper that I am introducing to the U.S. !! Please take time to read the information on the new CRYODRUM, how it will fit into our program and the changes it will mean to your costs. I figure each buyer will save a minimum of $150 per shipment.... for the simple reason that the CRYODRUM only weighs 9 pounds fully loaded, plus you don't have to ship it back!! 12/05/2008
	Chequille Z available again! For those of you who were disappointed that there was no CHEQUILLE Z available last year, I bring the news that we are good to go now. The semen is in my tanks; price is $700 per dose. Semen always had good fertility. From Brookhouse Stud also comes DIAMOND HIT, whose price has gone up as his success has gone up. Price this year is $1500 per dose. At this price I will not carry large inventory, so if you have interest in him maybe you should go ahead and purchase what you need. The new price schedule and stallions are up on the website. Please check the FEES & FORMS page. 12/05/2008
	Look what I've been doing! This is "Warrior" , my 7 year old Kiger stallion. With the help of friend and trainer, Fred Tuller, we have taught "Doodle Bug" to drive! He is such an awesome little horse - game to try anything without argument. Well, he DID have his opinion at first about the shafts touching his sides (!), but now you should see him cross over with his legs to turn when you say "Gee"! 10/26/2008
	All mares are updated on my "Our Horses" page now We are beginning our website update for next season. I have started by updating my current broodmare band. We will begin with the stallion pages soon. Thanks! 10/17/2008
	QUINELISE is SOLD Here is another new photo of "ELISE", by QUATERBACK out of PREFERENCE . She is absolutely gorgeous; fancy, bright, and full of energy and movement. She will call Canada home. 11/15/2008
	Rubin Royal ....... RUBIN ROYAL has certainly proven his excellent siring ability. I am SO tired of hearing those , once again - unsubstantiated RUMORS that Rubin Royal semen doesn't work. I am the only person who has imported Rubin Royal semen to the U.S., so I am a better source to tell you that we have had NO problems with Rubin Royal semen over the years. These rumors started by one mare owner the very first season we had Rubin Royal semen here. That year we bred 9 mares and 7 were in foal. One mare owner whose mare did not get in foal wanted to blame the semen, and put it on the internet .. people took the gossip and just continued it. Such a shame and such a dis-service to a very good stallion. You should NOT back off from using this good stallion if he fits your mare. He is a classy stallion. Semen is in stock for next season already. If you want to refresh your memory of him, here is his homepage: http://www.pferdezucht-harli-seifert.com/ 12/05/2008
	The face of a proud yearling colt This is ARRICK HARPER, by ARGENTINUS out of HEART'S AFIRE by HARPER. Such a neat colt...... had to show you this pretty photo! Remember - you can click on any of these photos and they will appear in a new window in a larger size. 09/19/2008
	QUINCARA by QUATERBACK out of REINA H by RUBINSTEIN. HERE is our baby Cara ......the filly that was born prematurely out of an ET mare. Well, they both are doing just fine. Baby Cara has lovely movement, type and personality. And a gorgeous dark shiny coat too! 09/18/2008
	QUINELISE by QUATERBACK and out of PREFERENCE by WEYDEN. She has grown up beautifully, don't you think? I have decided to offer her for sale. I have additional photos and have posted a short video clip at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0q6XkUBlBLw She is a special filly, and has that engaging personality and "Look at me" attitude. 09/22/2008
	HALIMA by DON SCHUFRO I have never shown you photos of HALIMA, by DON SCHUFRO out of HEART'S AFIRE. The mare had a tough last Trimester and wasn't so great after foaling. SO, we were more concentrated on taking care of them than taking photos. Allis fine now though! HALIMA is a typical Don Schufro foal - powerful, great legged and a big mover. She will be one for the serious minded dressage rider. 09/18/2008
	ARRICK HARPER by ARGENTINUS 09/18/2008
	Look at THIS yearling colt!! Do you remember ARRICK HARPER from last year? Here he is as a long yearling. He is by the legendary stallion ARGENTINUS out of HEART'S AFIRE by HARPER. You can read about her on "our horses" page. He has developed into such a grand colt. What do you think? 09/18/2008
	Arrick - 19 months 09/22/2008
	Oh, my GOSH!! WYTNON does it AGAIN !! PAVO winner 2008! I can just barely believe what a winning stallion this young WYNTON is! I am so proud and happy for breeders/owners Grietje and Hans Janson, Nico Witte and rider Madeleine Witte-Vrees. She rides her heart out with this talented stallion. They have just come off of the big competition at the WCYH in Verden, where they placed 4th against a strong German field. It was another super close competition between Wespoint and Wynton, with Wynton prevailing in then end. Wynton (by Jazz x Matador II) and Westpoint (by Jazz x Michelangelo) have been head to head before. While Westpoint led in the semi finals, it was Wynton who took the 2008 Pavo Cup Title. The two guest judge riders were obviously totally impressed with both Wynton and Westpoint, as they both received the same rideability score. I must go out to the barn and tell TAMARINDE that her little brother continues to make headlines. And I am proud to have brought WYNTON to the attention of American breeders. Can't wait to see our WYNTON foals next season! 08/23/2008
	Qredit makes German news ......... Quaterback Sohn Qredit Qredit, der erste Quaterback Sohn der Yancey Farm aus den USA entwickelt sich prächtig. Qredit, der erste Quaterback Sohn der Yancey Farm. Qredit ist der Sohn vom Neustädter Erfolgshengst Quaterback und der Stute Dream Rubina der Yancey Farm. Geboren wurde er im März 2008 und gleicht seinem Vater ungemein: selbes Gesicht, selbe Beine, die selbe leichte Art der Fortbewegung. Qredit zeigt schon jetzt eine gute bergaufwärts Gangart. Auch seine drei Geschwister, ein Hengst- und zwei Stutenfohlen, tun es ihm gleich und machen eine gute Figur. Alle vier wurden vom Oldenburg Verband ausgezeichnet. 08/12/2008
	"Pre-season" shopping ideas !!! We have just completed our fetal sexing of next year's foal crop! Predictions were pretty accurate this season, missing only 1 out of 6. Dr. Miller is more practiced now, and we have the following report: ATEE x FLORESTAN - FOAL due early Feb BELROSE x QUATERBACK - COLT >>>>>>> * Spoken for * DONNABELLE x SARKOZY - FOAL due end Jan DREAM RUBINA x WYNTON - FILLY ISABEL x SANDRO HIT - FILLY due Mar TAMARINDE x QUATERBACK (by ET) - COLT>>>>>* Spoken for * BELLA ARGENTINA x DREAM OF GLORY - COLT TAMARINDE x FLORESTAN - COLT !***** By the way, this is "TAMARINDE" pictured here. She has recently earned both her KEUR and SPORTS PREDICATES from KWPN ! As always, every COLT is FOR SALE! And, since I have kept all the fillies from this year, I will also offer the fillies for sale. 10/19/2008
	Oldenburg Verband inspection photos We had a nice day, with intermittent showers that kept the temperature bearable. This super filly made her dance in the arena with the raindrops, and received a premium award. This is WIAMINA by DIAMOND HIT out of WARTINA by Warsteiner x TB. We chose Diamond Hit last year because of his powerful hindquater, and that I thought Wartina is the type of mare that suits Diamond Hit. She is feminine and 1/2 TB. You can clearly see that the cross was magic! Look at the wonderful hindquater on her, and her excellent uphill movement. She is a VERY pretty filly and will mature into someone's dream ride. She is offered for sale by the Owners Antje and Glen Blahnik. Please contact me for pricing and more photos. 06/25/2008
	BEL AURORA , always the center of attention! Here is our BABY BEL ... as always she strutted her stuff and let all know that she is special! Having been born last Nov. 17th, she is much older than the rest. Still, she made her legendary sire ARGENTINUS proud by earning her premium award. She is out of BELROSE (Rubinstein - Inshallah) 06/24/2008
	QUETZAL by Quaterback out of Reina H So, this is the twin brother to QUINCARA! He is a well put together package of beauty and movement. The photo says it all - he has a powerful hindquater with extreme uphill movement and great freedom through his shoulders. With his charming face and brilliant energy, he earned his premium award for the day. We were schooled by Holly Simensen on what "Quetzal" is - a beautiful and rare bird from ???? (Oops, I didn't listen very well!) Quetzal is proudly owned (and named!) by Karen Reilly. Oh, I should make it clear that this is his ET Mommy! His biological dam is my most excellent producer REINA H (Rubinstein - Herbststurm). 06/24/2008
	Don't forget the Weser-Ems ponies! We also hosted quite a few ponies at the inspection. Heather Luing brought 3 mares, in foal to various Weser-Ems stallions. Although we did not have any little foals this year, we did have one yearling by HILKEN'S BLACK DELIGHT. This is MIDNIGHT SURPRISE, who you may remember belongs to our own "Miss Cookie" , photographer and groom par excellence! The judge's comments on Surprise were NO surprise! He is very correct, and has a very good way of going. He is so handsome in his shiny black jacket and should make a super riding prospect. Cookie offers him for sale. Anyone want a special nice Weser-Ems riding pony?? 06/24/2008
	Our precious QUINCARA : Quaterback x Reina H Our baby girl was the opener for the 2008 German Oldenburg inspection on June 18th. She may be delicate still, after an early start at 310 days (!), but her movement is breathtaking. Her quality, correctness and elegant movement earned her premium award. As Miss Cookie gets our photos to me, I will put them up of the other foals as well. 06/22/2008
	QUINELISE : Quaterback x Preference Here is the "ballerina" of the day. This is the filly Quinelise by Quaterback out of our Preference by Jonggor's Weyden. The judges were smitten by her - it is hard NOT to be. She is so beautifully chiseled, full of suspension, balance, freedom of movement. And she has the most incredible dappling gene starting to express itself. She earned her premium award from the judges and their comment of "favorite foal of the day". 06/22/2008
	And here is Quincara's FULL brother! From the same embryo flush of REINA H last year, came this strapping colt! Amazing, no? Here is a handsome, strong, manly colt at THREE days! Out of a humble little TB mare, who Vets thought was having a "small" foal! She did a trooper's job, and he arrived fat and healthy with exceptional legs and bones just like his sire. I continue to be so positively impressed with the stamping ability of Quaterback. Same head, same neck set high at the poll, same tremendouse shoulders, same hindquaters same way the front legs come out of the shoulders.... just incredible. We will put photos up when he finishes unfolding! He still has a ways to go, having had all these legs scrunched up in a small framed mare. Cudos to Peterson-Smith Equine Repro for providing us with these two Quaterback foals safely and happily on the ground. We shipped the embryos down there is the pocket of Jack, our local courier service man! This year they gave us a super buckskin QH mare that is carrying the Quaterback embryo out of our Tamarinde. Should be fun! 05/25/2008
	Well, look who is safely here!! This is Quincara, our special little wonder filly by Quaterback out of Reina H - by embryo transfer. Her story is that her ET Momma presented with placentitis a few months ago,complete with dripping milk, etc. We rallied and fought hard to keep that foal in there. Finally , on day 310, that was all Momma could do, and she had Baby Cara! So, here is Baby Cara 2 days after being born! So, 312 days old!! We are amazed that all her parts are there! We have had to do 2 plasma transfers so far, but she is feisty and doing well. I think she is beautiful, with another exquisite face by Quaterback. It will be fun to watch her grow! 05/01/2008

	Baby Bel at 4 months already! I know it has been a long time since I have shown you Baby Bel, real name "Bel Aurora". She is my special girl by ARGENTINUS out of BELROSE (RUBINSTEIN - INSCHALLAH - FURIOSO II) She is plucky, delightful and a bright spot each day. 03/22/2008
	Don't believe all you hear - more on the Carol Austin story It was brought to my attention by Schockemoehle that there seems to be someone trying to undermine my reputation by insinuating that I am shorting breeders on the amount of straws per dose. This has never happened, and it will never happen. If I am sent 3 straws per dose , that's what I send out. If I am sent 8 straws per dose, that's what I send out. If I am sent one straw per dose (as was the case for many years with horses from Blue Hors), that's what I sent out. But, I have never deducted one single straw from anyone's shipment. We will get to the bottom of this, and find out who is doing this. I have based my horse business for 33 years on complete honesty, and with the best interests of the mare owners always in mind. I do not know what this situation is,and can only guess the motives of who ever is behind it, but we will find out. I keep an accurate log of exactly who I sell the semen to, how many doses, how many straws and the collection dates that I send. I know to whom we ship ..... and wonder if it might be the Vet that is shorting the mare owners, if indeed ANY one has actually been shorted - for it certainly has not been me. I will not accept this affront to my reputation and I want to assure all my customers that this will be dealt with. Paul Schockemoehle stands behind me 100 % and has no doubt of my integrity. Thanks for your time, Judy *** UPDATE on the "Let's smear Judy's reputation" situation. I have gotten to the bottom of who has been spreading the false accusations, and I am so disheartened to say that it is Carol Austin, who runs Superior Equine Sires. I was sent proof in an email that she had sent to a stallion station. A direct quote from her email: "She buys full doses from suppliers, and often provides only ONE straw as a breeding dose to her clients. So, then she is able to have cheap prices because she is selling only 1/3 of a dose. I consider this a dishonest practice. Yours, Carol" Where is the WORLD did she come up with this? In her imagination I guess. This is a blatant lie and is a libelous statement.... I have written her and asked her to provide me with ONE person who can prove such an outrageous claim. I have told her that , if she can provide me with proof that I have done this, I will publicly apologoze. If she cannot, then SHE is to publicly apologize to me and to ALL of you, and to the stallion owners to whom she has spread her lies. I have had enough of this nonsense, and am putting this right out here to stop the ridiculous and malicious rumors that she is spreading. I am not the only broker that she tries to bully and attack. This is going to stop now! I don't spend my time trying to run down others, I just try to do a better JOB than the others and I pay attention to my own life, not anyone else's. And, my prices are not "cheap" - they are fair. I work for the benefit of the mare owners in the U.S. I apologize to all of you now, and beg your indulgence in this posting. I just believe this is the only way to deal with such matters - out in the open, for I have nothing to hide, and am not making accusations, only quoting what she has already written. I hope that it will not be necessary to pursue this through legal channels, but I understand from our family lawyer that it is now an option, since she has used the internet to pass along her concocted lies. I thank all of you for the support that I have received over the past days... it means the world to me to know that I have earned your respect and trust. Peace out, Judy ! 02/28/2008
	Wynton wins it all in Den Bosch ! We are SO proud of WYNTON, who has prevailed in the prestigious KWPN stallion competitions! The finals were held today, Friday, Feb. 1st. He came into the competition 1.5 points in the lead, and faced his toughest rival , Westpoint. He scored an 88, giving him a final ranking of 350 points over the 4 competitions, with a total final ranking of 350 points over Westpoint's 348 points! Today's win came one day after being released from quarantine for freezing semen for us in North America! Congratulations to Wynton, his breeders Hans & Grietje Jansen, and co-owner Nico Witte... and big kudos to Nico's lovely wife Madeleine Witte-Vrees, Wynton's capable rider! Well done gang! Don't miss out on this talented stallion this year. Our shipment should be here in the next couple of weeks. He also was licensed for breeding by the German Oldenburg Verband, which we anticipated. Here is Eurodressage's report: http://www.eurodressage.com/reports/shows/2008/feb_kwpn-denbosch.html 02/05/2008
	Pony Breeders.....Attention !! video up on "VOYAGER" Our "pony partner" , Weser-Ems breeder Heather Luing, has put a couple of clips of VOYAGER up on the U-tube site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Enj_BLwbIg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM93NkZulo0 I will be bringing the doses of VOYAGER in the next shipment out of Germany - late Feb. 01/27/2008
	Quaterback fillies are growing nicely Here are "Querida" and "Quinoa" at 10 months now. I have made a short clip of them and put on U tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e_nJlQS3Xo 01/12/2008
	Her great sire, ARGENTINUS, is gone...... I feel genuinely sad, hearing the news last night that Argentinus is gone. I guess I thought that a legend as grand as he is would never die. He lives on in BEL AURORA, our filly that was born a month ago.....and my magnificent colt Arrick Harper, as well as Bella Argentina and Olivia. I cherish every drop of Argentinus blood that we have on this farm. **** UPDATE ON PRICE**** We received word today from Klatte's that the price of the Argentinus semen has drastically changed - to be expected. It will now sell by the dose, and converts to $3500 PER dose. It's a giant impact. 12/27/2007
	New shipment in ....look at our old friend, RUIZ SOLER! We safely received our early shipment of QUATERBACK, FIDERTANZ, DE NIRO, CONTENDRO, SIR DONNERHALL, FAREWELL III, BALOU DU ROUET, SAN AMOUR and our old friend, RUIZ SOLER! There are quite a few breders still in the U.S. that LOVE Ruiz Soler, for the high quality hunter offspring that he produces. Heinrich Klatte still had doses of frozen left and we offer them at $450 a dose. This is a super bargain, as the semen of Ruiz Soler was always awesome. Hunter breeders pay attention! 12/22/2007
	New video of Quaterback up From the Oldenburg stallion show Nov. 24th, there is some new footage of Quaterback, taken by Stephanie Law and put up on the Oldenburg Horse Breeders Society website: http://www.oldenburghorse.com/2007-OldenburgStallionShow-Quaterback.wmv News is, from everyone who saw him go again, is that he is more spectacular than ever. I thought so , and told you same, when I saw him privately back in Sept. Fabulous, fabulous horse! My two fillies from him are just wonderful, and absolutely stamped by their sire. Photos soon, I promise! "Cookie" has been A.W.O.L.! 11/30/2007
	And this PONY can jump!! I didn't forget my pony breeders while I was searching for new stallions in Germany! This is a wonderful pony stallion , "VOYAGER" . You can see his stats posted below. He is charming, athletic and multi-talented. He has won the Bundeschampionats in both dressage and versatility, where his jumping skills shined. He is a consistent producer of typey, high quality foals, and should be an excellent addition to our pony stock over here. Frozen semen will be available Feb. 2008. Price $450 per dose. 01/27/2008
	Exciting NEW pony stallion for you! This is a very special pony stallion named "VOYAGER". He was the Champion of his stallion licensing in Muenster Handorf. He is a Westfalen Riding Pony, born in 2000, and stands 147.5 cm. Seems like everything he does, he does VERY well, and is always Champion.

Erfolge 2003 Westfalenchampion NRW Vizechampion Licensed with :Weser-Ems, Rheinland und Westfalen 10/11/2007
	Particular information about WYNTON I guess you can tell that I am particularly keen on this young stallion. Well, just read his stats, and you will begin to get the picture of just what a special stallion he is: Here is the report of the jury for the 70 DAYS TEST: " Wynton is a good developed, uphill modeled stallion, with very good capacity as a riding horse. The motherline consists out of pure German top-dressage stallions. Father Jazz (keur) is extremely succesful in Holland with 8 licensed sons, 187 star-mares, 77 keur-mares, 50 elite-mares and 1 preferent-mare, which is an extremely high score. This stallion has a very good attitude and is very easy to ride. Wynton has a very good technique in his legs, a good posture and a very good balance. The notes are: walk 8.5; trot 9; canter 9; suppleness 8; posture and balance 8.5; ridability 8.5; capacity as a dressage-horse 9. He was the CHAMPION in the 70days test this spring. Wynton was the vice-champion in the prestigious PAVO-Cup for 4 year old horses which can be compared with the Bundeschampionat in Germany. Here is some old footage that's online: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afDm_CAIeoU 01/18/2009
	Lord Leo........... 5 months This is such an impressive, powerful moving colt. He has an absolutely tremendous hip and push from behind, combined with good freedom through the shoulder. He will be someone's dream come true under saddle, and I sure hope he gets a chance at the Young Horse competitions. He is by LORD SINCLAIR out of my good Dutch mare PREFERENCE . You can read more about her on the "Our Horses" page. Call me if you have interest in this super colt. 10/24/2007
	Such an honor.... We were treated to a private showing of Quaterback under saddle with Christian Flamm riding! It was breathtaking, watching this talented , supple, powerful youngster with his super rider. They had him all braided and waiting for our arrival, and I stood in the middle of the arena and saw every step he took. And, boy, were they magnificent steps! He is still nothing short of spectacular, and I have never seen a stallion that had such energy flowing in perfect circle through his body. He just picks himself off the ground when he starts to move. He and the young WYNTON (see post below) and , without question, my two favorite picks for the upcoming breeding season. I saw foals of Quaterback and see how he impacts them, so I believe he will become a stallion of quality and excellent reputation. I am proud that we have our own first foal crop coming from him this next season. We will have our shipment of semen ready for import before Christmas, and I can take orders now, since we know the pricing schedule. 10/03/2007
	Well, here we are in Holland! That is a photo of me with Tamarinde's little brother "WYNTON"! As I reported before my trip, I would visit the breeders of Tam and meet Wynton. It turned out to be the highlight of my trip! This photo was taken by Grietje Jansen. She and her husband, Hans are the breeders of Tam and Wynton, and have two more full siblings at home. Wynton won his KWPN Stallion licensing, and was Reserve Ch. of the prestigious PAVO Cup, where Tam was 7th in her year. He is a top quality stallion that I am very proud and excited to introduce to the U.S., as well as Germany. He will be prsented for licensing to the German Oldenburg Verband by my request, so that breeders other than Dutch can take advantage of his special bloodlines and genetic qualities. His pedigree is Jazz - Matador II - Rubinstein - Welt As. I met his (and Tam's) dam AND grand dam, both venerable older ladies. We will have video of him available soon, and will have frozen semen for next season. His gaits are pure, and he has 3 VERY good gaits. With his quick, active hind leg, and great freedom and swing through his whole body, he is a picture of elegance , suppleness and elasticity. I tell you, he put to shame a lot of horses that I saw at the Bundeschampionats. We need this extra Jazz blood, still blending the excellent attributes of Matador II, Rubinstein and Welt As. Over the next week, I will add some more news from my trip. I traveled from Holland, through Germany to Brandenburg to visit Quaterback, then up to Denmark as planned. I have personal observations from the Bundeschampionats which helped me rethink my frozen semen program. More later.... 09/10/2007
	Could he be any more handsome? Of course, I think that Tamarinde is one of the most beautiful mares I have ever seen.....so I was pleasantly surprised when I found Wynton to be the same type of handsome creature. 09/10/2007
	Wynton after work His conformation is much like Tamarinde's, but obviously in stallion form. He is very leggy and light in his movements, with the same rythym and regularity as Tam has. He has the same active, quick hind leg. He will broaden and fill out as he finishes maturing, but will no doubt remain a very tall, handsome stallion. 09/10/2007
	Hot Jazz at his GOV inspection And here is Mr. Fancy pants! I was so very satisfied with the brilliant, confident movement of Hot Jazz (Hotine out of Tamarinde by Jazz - Matador II - Rubinstein - Welt as ). His supple, ground coverin stride also shows incredible suspension. Too bad that Owners, Pat & Linda Parelli could not have been here to witness this colt's first major award...his Premium plaque from the German Oldenburg Verband. 07/28/2007
	"Hometown Boy makes good!" Here is RASTA (Rotspon - Rouletto - Don Gregory). You may remember that I bred him, sold him out to California to Pamela Bailey, and she has raised him and just done a super job with his showing. He was licensed as a breeding stallion by the German Oldeburg Verband last Fall. His owner writes this: "This is a link with Stacey on him, http://www.sheriscottphotography.com/galleries/gold_st_cdi_07_s-z/index.htm go to Zwergel and Rasta, he got his 82.4 Materialle and I was happy to see that an assistant rider can go out showing, and do really well, he is not a one horse guy, he keeps his mind, mares in season, horses coming at him. She also just scored a 7.74 FEI five year old. I have wanted to keep it very diverse this year, funner, and with a greater scope, so he does not have three hard years, he did so much last year. We are trying for the Horse of the Year Materialle, so far 79 median, need one more score his high being 82,4."" So, I am very proud of Rasta, Pamela, Rasta's trainers Christine Rivlin-Henke and Stacey Zwergel. 07/25/2007
	Another sad good-bye...... Skyrocket Just yesterday evening about 6:30, I was looking at Skyrocket, thinking how beautiful he was, and counting the months until I could start to ride him.........and this morning he was gone. Apparently he was struck by lightening in another bad storm last night. I just can't believe it. In 32 years, I have never lost a horse to lightening. I read about others' losses, but to experience it here is surreal. All his pasture mates were still standing guard this morning when Antonio went to feed, and he immediately knew something was terribly wrong. Such a sad year for so many of us. Hug your horse right now! 07/22/2007
	Look how LEO is growing! Have you ever seen such an impressive hip line? He is so powerful from behind, and uphill. And his walk is a 12 !! He continues to be a wonderfully easy going guy, finding no problems in life. He is such a pleasure. LORD LEO is by LORD SINCLAIR out of PREFERENCE and, as all colts are here, is for sale. Looks like Miss Cookie was having fun in her photo editing program, no?? 07/31/2007
	This is about PAPERWORK ! Heads up...........I am getting a LOT of mare owners asking for breeding certificates from last year that I have already filled out and sent. I don't like to do things twice, so let me clue you in on how I send them. When I make the shipment of semen to your Vet, I put a manilla envelope in with a big print announcement on the outside that says: "In this packet you will find: -Thawing instructions for the frozen semen -INSEMINATION CERTIFICATE to document the breeding for foal registration - RETAIN this document in your Client's file, complete upon insemination of the mare, and RETURN to your Client when they pick up the mare" AND A return Fed X airbill for the prompt return of my shipper. Please be respectful of others who are waiting for their shipment also by sending the shipper home right away." I STAPLE the breeding certificate to the thawing protocol, which HOPEFULLY, your Vet will read! So, maybe , if you know that the breeding certificate for your mare is with your Vet, you can remember to ask him to sign it and return it to you. Owners of KWPN mares do not need a certificate from me, you can download from your registry's website; same for Swedish. I mainly send out GOV and AHS. I do not send out ISR paperwork. Hope this helps you to be better informed on the papertrail! Thanks 06/01/2007
	My Argentinus girls! British photographer Bob Langrish was here for his annual Spring visit, and captured some beautiful moments on the back hill that holds the young stock. I'll bet that this photo ends up in one of his calendars. In this photo you see three glorious fillies with Argentinus in common: From left, the red bay is "Olivia" (Don Kennedy - Argentinus), 2 yrs. ; the chestnut is "Bella Argentina" (Argentinus - Rubinstein)also 2 yrs. ; and the third bay is "Raissa" (Florencio - Argentinus) 1 yr. You can just see the eye of "Bardot", yearling filly (Don Schufro - Rubinstein) I have more photos that I will share soon. Remember, you can click on the photo and make it come up in another window larger. 04/03/2007
	I keep forgetting to show you..... Do you recognize THIS horse?? Maybe you have noticed this ad recently in some of your horse magazines. This is TAMARINDE, making her modeling debut for Merial Pharmaceutical Company in their recent ad campaign for Recombitek, West Nile Virus vaccine. 03/25/2007
	More WINS from COULEUR RUBIN. To update the success from Couleur Rubin: 2nd place in Leipzig - January 2007 4th place in Neumünster - Feb. 2007 1st place and two 3rd places in Göteborg - last weekend Had a son licensed in Munich, awarded Premium stallion 03/03/2007
	Well, look what we have here!!!......... This is a brand new HOTLINE colt! The first to be born in the USA. He is as beautiful and correct in his conformation as I could have dreamed. His dam is no slouch, though.....this is the foal of TAMARINDE, my JAZZ - MATADOR II - RUBINSTEIN - WELT AS mare who is in training with Jan Brons in Wellington. This colt (how about HOT JAZZ for a name??)was carried by Tamarinde's best friend, my lovely black Kiger mare. So, this solid black colt looks perfect beside her, and she loves him tremendously. We are so blessed. HOT JAZZ has a super, big shoulder, gorgeous face and very long legs. Very exciting! 02/13/2007
	Farewell III wins the Bundes Championat for 6 yr. olds ! Many heartfelt congratulations to Zuchthof Klatte and Farewell's rider, Sandra Kotter, for a job well done! There was serious competition in the 6 year old division. and Farewell III put in tests of consistency, showing his power, suppleness and correct foundation. We have had frozen semen from Farewell III for two seasons now (since he was 3 years), so positively strong was my opinion about him as a young horse. There are already super offspring in the U.S. with more to come this year. He is a B-I-G horse and I picture him blended with refined, ladylike mares. 10/20/2006
	American Hanoverian Society Hi Score for Tamarinde ! Tam continued her winning ways by besting a field of 9 mares in the Non-Hanoverian Mare division at the recent AHS inspection here in Ocala. Her final score was 7.91 , with the high note of "9" for her Impulsion & Elasticity (also "9" for typiness,Femininity). I was told that it is perhaps the highest score in the country so far this year. We shall see. Her barn mate, the KWPN mare "Preference" captured the exact same honors as Tam several years ago by being the SE Regional USDF DSBS Grand Champion, Highest scoring mare for the German Oldenburg Verband, then High score Non-Hanoverian for the AHS. Tamarinde has an ET coming by the Hanoverian stallion "Hotline". 10/05/2006
	Tamarinde wins BIG at USDF Championships !! It was a big weekend for Tam and me. These old bones were tired last night after two days of showing. Sat. she won the Grand Championship of the Sunshine Sport Horse Breed Show to qualify for the SE Regional Championships Sunday. Her scores were high score for the show with an 84 and an 85 in the Dutch class ! On Sunday she was again Grand Champion of the USDFBC SE Regional Championship. Her score of 86.25 was agin high score of the day, and the highest score I personally have ever known. She scored: 8.5 for conformation 9.0 for walk 8.5 for trot 8.5 for general impression And, she LOVED being the show Queen! 09/18/2006
	DREAM RUBINA new Premium mare I am most excited and proud of the Premium status awarded to RUBINA , our homebred DREAM OF GLORY out of REINA H by RUBINSTEIN. She scored an overall 7.8 with highest notes for her quality of conformation, impulsion & elasticity, walk, general impression & development (8s). She scored 8 on her neck with 7.5s and 7s for all other conformation points. All this was achieved with a big, powerful filly at her side too! Her dam line is an exceptional one, and she is following suit by producing a super filly as her first offering. UPDATE: Rubina is in foal to Quaterback for 2008 - ultrasound shows a filly. 07/13/2007
	DREAM RUBINA 3 years old!! My DREAM RUBINA was born at an odd time of the year - a November day. SO, technically she is 3 years and 8 months. She was an early maturing filly, strong and powerful; kind and peaceful. Since birth, her destiny has been to follow in the huge broodmare footsteps of her grand dam, HELENA (Trakehner by HERBSTSTURM - PREGEL - BORIS). Helena was my foundation mare and her quality as a producer has never been and will never be rivaled on this farm. RUBINA is so unbelievably like HELENA and the type of foals that Helen produced. Genetics amaze me, and it proves the tremendous value of a REALLY top broodmare. I was so proud that the judges recognized the quality of this young mare and awarded her Premium Mare status. Thank you, HELENA ! We miss you still... 06/28/2006
	REINA H and her daughter FINALE This is the first encounter of REINA and her biological daughter FINALE by FIRST HEINRICH. FINALE is an ET baby.....do I detect some maternal recognition???? 06/28/2006
	FINALE by FURST HEINRICH x REINA H This is FINALE with her ET dam. FINALE was one of the youngest foals at the inspection, but still managed to impress with her wonderful rhythym and elasticity. She was Premium awarded. 06/28/2006
	This is why I love my KIGERS..... This photo, taken by my friend Cookie, shows an incredible morning run with my Kiger stallion, WARRIOR and his band of mares. They are so awesome to watch, you have never witnessed such a peaceful, cohesive family of horses. It was a majical morning, where we once again hosted the well reknowned equine photographer, Bob Langrish from England. He had such success with the photos of of my Kigers that he took last year, that he had to come back for more! Love my Kigers! 04/12/2006
	A blast from the past....... This photo is of my first warmblood stallion, The Trakehner Beaute', who I purchased in 1975. He produced many wonderful offspring, noted for their fabulous characters, willingness to work and gentle natures, not to mention their all around athletic abilities. He had offspring successful in dressage to the highest levels, Combined training, hunters........ I received this note today and it made me smile. Thank you Bee Pape for being so thoughtful in writing about Miss Joy. She was one that I was sad to part with. Judy, Do you remember Miss Joy we bought from you 20 plus years ago? She is now teaching the second generation to ride. Susie's daughter Julia, 12 years old, is the Oklahoma Dressage Society Reserve Champion Junior Rider recognized shows at Intro. Joy is a great mare and hopefully has many more years to teach beginners. Susie took her successfully up thru 3rd level before children and now Joy is on her second generation. A well bred horse is a joy forever. Take care, Bee Pape 01/08/2006
	A wonderful celebration Yesterday maked my 30th anniversary of Yancey Farms.....30 foal crops on the ground. This year's crop is perhaps the overall highest quality we have produced. Photos are up already at http://www.pbase.com/foxpony/clearcreek/party Many thanks to my friend, Cookie, for not only her horse grooming skills, but also her photography skills! 04/25/2005
	My unique Andalusian - Kiger cross "Isabel" Yes....AGAIN with my Kigers!! But this one is special and absolutely unique. This color is claybank dun (buttermilk dun like Dale Evan's horse)Her sire is the Andalusian Gaucho III, and she inherited alot of movement from him. Photographer Reg Corkum ended his day of shooting the Oldenburg inspection with this little wild child! 11/04/2004
