Yancey Farms - News and Updates!

	QUERIDA for sale now Yes, it is time to offer the two QUATERBACK girls that I brought in from Germany last Fall. They had arrived in their winter woolies, and I wanted to watch them bloom into the Spring and enjoy them a while. They are both delightful, and exceedingly talented, young mares. They have bright futures, for there are few that have the movement, conformation and type of these two , as they are stamped in the image of their exciting sire, QUATERBACK. They have great value for their breeding potential as well as competition careers. QUERIDA is a beautiful, captivating creature. She is QUATERBACK - SANDRO HIT - PARADIESVOGEL. She has effortless, expressive movement with a bright character. It is hard to claim qualities better than the other; both fillies are so equally made. QUERIDA is accordingly priced for her high quality. I am hopeful that she will go to a serious minded rider so that she will have the chance to fully develop her talents. 05/11/2008
	QUINOA For Sale now I am so impressed with how both of these Quaterback fillies are growing up. They really have not gone through a gawky stage, and have maintained excellent self carriage and freedom of movement. Right now our ground is as hard as concrete, yet they still have a nice suspension. I would love to see them get into hands that will chanel their talents, and hopefully get them out to shows. They are both very high quality fillies, with the best of blood from the Haupt Gestuet Brandenburg. Both fillies were finalists in the German Foal Championships. They carry their brand on the RIGHT side, an honor bestowed only to those who are bred by the Haupt Gestuet. Quinoa is slightly taller than Querida. She is very engaged with the world; doesn't miss a thing. She has a pleasant demeanor and is very willing and loving. Her pedigree is QUATERBACK - PARADIESVOGEL - FREUDENTAENZER (all Westfalen blood) I have additional photos. Email me if you have interest. Price is consistent with their quality and cost of importation. 05/11/2008
	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
	Let me introduce a most interesting young jumper stallion... This is PROVIDENCE - His sire is Provider by Perpignon (Pilot) -Almeo out of Ravalla by Rabino (Ramiro )- Wendekreis 2007 Premium Licensed German Hanoverian Stallion This young stallion has 3 very good gaits, excellent type, super jumping and class 1 x-rays. Providence will be prepared for his 70 day testing to start in June 2008 and will stand at stud at Hengst Station Jens Meyer in Germany. Providence will stay in Germany to hopefully go on to the German Young Horse Jumping Championships as a 5 yr old. Frozen semen will be available for Canada via South Lane Farm and from Yancey Farms in the USA. It is our understanding that any North American registry that accept European registries at an equal value that the offspring will be accepted. Please contact your association to confirm. All other international inquires should be directed to Hengst Station Jens Meyer in Germany.

Here is some You Tube footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiRv2vld1RY&feature=related Frozen semen is available at $450 per dose this season, as an introductory price. Please take note of his interesting pedigree and consider him not only for jumper mares, but to add athleticism and type to dressage mares as well. 04/21/2008

	RIO GRANDE semen now available through Yancey Farms We have received a supply of frozen semen of the great stallion , RIO GRANDE and are pleased to offer this excellent quality frozen semen to our clients and neighbors here in the Ocala area. RIO was a superb stallion in all ways; both in the competition ring as well as prepotent sire. The frozen semen is well known for it's outstanding fertility. You can find more information on RIO at his homesite: http://www.charlotfarm.com/rio%20grande.htm You can buy it directly from us by using our contract that is on this site. Or, you are welcome to contact the owners Augustin and Christine Walch up in Canada. Price per dose is $1500. 03/27/2008
	OK - Here we go! RASTA semen is finally available! Thank you for the great interest that has been shown in our homebred RASTA. (ROTSPON - ROULETTO - DON GREGORY). http://www.rastastallion.com The website is functional, and will be enhanced as time goes by. He has been a star in Sporthorse Breeding and also in the dressage ring. Rasta was awarded the High Point Performance Horse Award from the German Oldenburg Verband in 2006/ He was HOY at Training level for GOV with a median score of 74.8, ridden by C. Rivlin-Henke. Rasta was high point award winner at 8 of his shows in 2006, including tehe CDI USET qualifier at Rancho Murietta, Ca., with an 80% from judge Jeanne McDonald. He was third in the USDF HOY at training level. In 2007 he continued to first level, with median scores of 70+%. In 2007 he won the HOY for GOV in Materiale with high score of 82.4. He is a glorious horse, with three high quality gaits, a stunning appearance and wonderful demeanor. He is strong and sound, both of mind and body. His owner, Pamela Bailey, is determined to take him all the way to FEI in dressage, and he has certainly shown that he has all that it takes. With a beautiful pedigree, excellent type, presence, movement and athletic ability, we are lucky to have such a nice stallion in the U.S. (And, as an aside, I was his breeder.) Introductory price is $450 per dose, subject to change at any time. 03/25/2008
	New baby faces are showing up on "New Foals" page Please, those of you who have had foals by stallions of our frozen semen program, try to send us a photo. Everyong loves to see the produce! You can link to "New Foals" page from a banner on the home page. Thanks, 03/24/2008
	A mixed and colorful herd.. The Kigers add some great color to the herd. Baby Bel is right with the pack, even though her Mom is no where in sight! The Kiger mares always make sure to take care of all the babies. 03/23/2008
	A little "GIRL TALK" ! The Kigers provide a lot of entertainment around here. These are two sisters discussing whose toy that is! If anyone out there needs a super neat Kiger, I have a few fillies for sale. 03/23/2008
	Here is QREDIT at one month - QREDIT is sold...... Hard to believe that a month has passed since the exciting arrival of our first homebred Quaterback foal. QREDIT is so special, and a carbon copy of his sire; same face, same legs, some effortless movement with suspension and swing. Thank you so much for the interest that has been shown in Qredit. He has been sold. We have decided on a special home for him, and he will be moving to the East Coast after weaning. 04/05/2008
	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
	It's THAT time again! Foal inspection & Registration It is already time to be thinking about GOV inspections. We will have our first one on JUNE 18th. Everyone is welcome. Just let me know you are bringing a horse so I can make sure you have the paperwork you need. This will markk the 25th year that we have hosted the Oldenburg Verband for inspection. 03/12/2008
	This is my last "NEW" stallion offering for this season!! FLORENCIO - FEINBRAND - THYMIAN xx - CHRONIST This is another exciting young stallion son of FLORENCIO. This is FACKELTANZ ("Torch dance")... a Premium Awarded Oldenburg stallion out of a very spcial dam line. His dam line is the "Fackila" line, with his first four generations of his dam line all being States Premium mares. His mother, SPS Fackese was Champion mare of the Oldenburg Elite Mare Show in Rastede in 1996. She, in turn is the dam of a States Premium daughter, and now of this highly awarded stallion son. By our special request, his owner Elisabeth Max-Theurer agreed to have semen frozen for us. To me, that's a big deal, because she has never even stood her private stallions at stud; (Augustus de Stark,Furst Khevenhueller,Rosandro, etc.) He is a big, strong horse, with excellent use of his hind legs, good swing and elasticity, and a great brain and willingness to work. Here are a couple of videos on line that you can see. http://www.oldenburghorse.com/2007-Koerung-PremiumStallion-21.wmv http://victoria.achleiten.at/cms/front_content.php?client=1&lang=1&idcat=20&idart=302 Limited doses are available now at $650 each. Semen quality looks great. 03/11/2008
	Here he is! The first QUATERBACK in North America! This is "QREDIT", at 3 days. As you see, he is a spitting image of his sire, down to the exact same funny blaze down his face! He is very tall, good bones, great feet, muscling. He has a nice, easy , loose way of moving, and is built uphill with strong legs and well set neck. So far, I could not be more pleased with his quality. His dam is our homebred Dream of Glory - Rubinstein mare, "Dream Rubina". 02/27/2008
	Let me introduce you to ...."BENETTON DREAM " -Hanoverian While at the Fall German Bundeschampionats, I caught this gorgeous stallion out the corner of my eye. I went to investigate who he was and followed his progress to the winning of the 3 y.o. Championship. His scores were amazing... and his walk unsurpassed! trot: 9.5 canter 9.5 walk 10.00 conformation 9.0 overall impression 9.5 Final score 9.5 !! He went on to win his 30 days test at Schlieckau with high scores again in his basic gaits, and a 9.5 by both test riders for his rideability. Earlier, in August, he was Champion Hanoverian of the 3 y.o. stallions at the World Championships for Young horses in Verden with the highest score of 9.0 So already this accomplished young stallion has made great impressions. Another great impression is his super pedigree: BRENTANO II - ROTSPON - DAVIGNON - WELTMEYER - SENDER - DUKTUS - DUELLANT He is a tall, leggy, elegant and beautiful type. Maybe he can add something to your breeding program? I looked for a special Hanoverian to offer Hanoverian mare owners, and believe I have found one in BENETTON DREAM. First doses are on the way. Introductory price $700 (semen was frozen by my most trusted technician there.) 02/26/2008
	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
	First pregnancy of the year confirmed Good ole BELROSE. She gave birth to Baby Bel on Nov. 17th, and I waited until after the first of the year to breed her. One dose of QUATERBACK semen, and she is in foal again. Gotta love mares like this! I am hoping that this sets the tone for this new breeding year.... not just for me, but for all of us. LAst year was a tough one! 01/28/2008
	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
	The stallions of Gerd Sosath Sosath Stud Farm has joined Yancey Farms in partnership to represent their stallions in the U.S. Of particular interest to dressage breeders is the young, handsome FLORENCIO - DONATELLI - GOLDSTERN son, FONTANE (pictured here) Black, Oldenburg, born 2004, 16.2 hands He is a typey, brilliant moving young stallion by the double dressage World Champion, Florencio. He was one of my favorites at the Oldenburg stallion licensing in 2006. He ranked fourth in an especially strong PREMIUM lot and particularly stood out because of his very good walk, his excellent trot mechanics driven by active hindquarters and an uphill canter that covers a lot of ground as well as very skilled jumping. Here is the link to his page on Sosath's website, which has a short video clip: http://www.sosath.com/cms/index.php?client=1&lang=2&idcat=10&idart=46 Fontane unites the greatest stallions in breeding history in his pedigree: the grandsire, Florestan I, is found in the pedigrees of many international sport horses such as Floriano who took fourth at the World Championships under Steffan Peters/USA and he also produced a good number of strong performance stallions. Donnerhall has long been designated a stallion of the century and Goldstern produced not only numerous top jumpers but also dressage horses that were high achievers. The pedigree is superbly rounded off in the fourth generation by the Thoroughbred stallion, Makuba. There are several other young sons of Florencio available, but FONTANE will have his first foal crop on the ground this year, he is BLACK, and he has a very good pedigree for our mare base in the U.S. We offer him this first year at $475 per dose. 02/20/2008
	The jumpers of Gerd Sosath We also can bring in any of the wonderful jumper stallions of the Sosath Stud: Lordanos (Lordanos has proven to produce easy horse that do very well under saddle, also with younger riders.There are always good offspring from him at the Bundeschampionate. He tends to make lighter and smaller horses so he might be useful as a refining stallion.) $850 per dose Landor S (time tested stallion ) $750 per dose Ludwig von Bayern (Ludwig von Bayern produces extremely nice foals. They are strong, big and powerful with very good elasticity. In 2006 his son became winner of the OS licensing and another was vice champion of the Oldenburg licensing (Ludwig's As -- also from Sosath). At the last approval Ludwig's As was main premium stallion of the jumpers because of the quality of his foals.)$600 per dose Catoki $850 per dose Chalan $650 per dose Quality (He is pictured here) $600 per dose Check out their website and let me know if there is a stallion that suits you. We can add it to our next shipment from Germany. . 01/22/2008
	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
	New ARGENTINUS son...... ASHBY ! Knowing my love for Argentinus, Zuchthof Klatte has agreed to freeze semen of their newly licensed stallion ASHBY. His pedigree is super - ARGENTINUS - LANDADEL - ZEUS. The dam line is that of the Elite mare Cinderella, that has a long line of successful licensed stallions such as D'Dur, Laphroaig, Zymbal I & II, First Class, Castus I & II, Rubino Rosso, Get Smart, Routineir and many others! ASHBY is a beautiful type with excellent personality . He is of medium size. I wonder if HE might finally be the heir apparent to the Argentinus dynasty. What do you think? Shall we try him? At $450 a dose, I think he is worth a try - if for no other reason, the combination of those bloodlines! 01/03/2008
	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
	WYNTON wins second leg of KWPN stallion competition!! It's true! WYNTON has won the second of three stallion competitions in Holland. (Click on photo to enlarge. Photo by Sandra Nieuwendijk.) News report from owners/breeders says: Dear Judy, Last Friday we had the second meeting in the KWPN Stallion Competition and once again Wynton was the number one with 89 points! Westpoint was second with 88 points, and Rock Forever (Rockwell x Landstreicher) was third with 86 points. You can imagine that we are very happy with this result. On december 27th the last meeting will be held in Zuidbroek. Judy, we wish you a Merry Christmas and you hear from us after the third meeting. Grietje en Hans And today's report on EURODRESSAGE said: Madeleine Witte-Vrees won the L-level class with the black Wynton (by Jazz x Matador II) who was praised for his electric hind leg. Wynton scored 89 points and beat Pavo Cup champion Westpoint (Jazz x Michelangelo) Semen freezing of WYNTON is on track, and we should have our shipment early Febuary. 01/10/2008

	A first look at the QUATERBACK sisters! This is QUINOA.. Quinoa is out of a SPS mare Graziella by Paradiesvogel (West.) - Freudentaenzer (West.) She was in the finals of the S. German Foal Championships and is an accurate representative of the quality of movement and type that Quaterback is siring. I feel very fortunate to have the chance to have these two outstanding Quaterback fillies over here, to show the high caliber of offspring that we can expect from Quaterback. At 9 months, both fillies arequite tall, leggy and very elegant moving, with suppleness and power. 12/04/2007
	This is "QUERIDA" by QUATERBACK Querida is the first QUATERBACK filly that "picked" me in Brandenburg. Like her sister, QUINOA, she too was a finalist in the S. German Foal Championships. She is out of SPS HEDDA by Sandro Hit - Paradiesvogel (West.) - Fruehlingsbote (West.) She is the same body type as her sire, with his lovely topline, pretty face, and long, very correct legs. She also moves through her body and up and through her shoulder exactly like he does. These fillies are very homogenous, and should give you a clear indication of the siring power of Quaterback! Like QUINOA, Querida was born early March 2007, so is 9 months old. They are both very good sized, leggy and just super correct.......and THE BEST characters and temperaments. 12/04/2007
	WOW! WYNTON continues his winning ways !!! I am TELLING you.....this young stallion WYNTON is something special. (Besides that he is TAMARINDE's brother!!) http://www.veoh.com/videos/v1595409MgqR6HTA Today's news from his breeder/owner couldn't be better: Judy, here is good news from Holland. Today was the first meeting in the Stallion Competition. Wynton WON with 88.5 points!! Westpoint (Jazz x Michelangelo), who was the winner in the Pavo-cup, was now SECOND to WYNTON with 87,5 points. Winningmood (Prado x Donnerwind) third with 86 points, Lord Leatherdale fourth with 85,5 and Karolus Van Wittenstein fifth with 80 points. The comment of the jury was very enthusiastic. "We have seen a group of highly talented stallions". WYNTON received a 9 for his walk, a 9 for trot, 8,5 for canter, 9 for suppleness and 9 for his appearance. Not bad is !! it? But as You can see the competition is very strong. On december 14th the second meeting is in Weert. best wishes from Grietje and Hans. Report from Eurodressage: Wynton, Vivaldi, United and Dreamcatcher were the winners of the first leg of the 2007-2008 KWPN/KNHS Stallion Competition Series taking place this winter with a finals at the 2008 KWPN Stallion Licensing in Den Bosch in February 2008. At L-level (first level), Madeleine Vrees-Witte scored the highest aboard the KWPN Stallion Performance Test winner Wynton (by Jazz x Matador II). The dary bay stallion scored a 9 for walk ansd trot and 8.5 for canter. Judges Gert van den Hoorn, Ton de Kok and Jan Enne Kloosterboer ranked him first with 88.5 points. 12/08/2007
	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 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. 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 experience high conception rates in their mares, and have the foals to prove it. Feel free to call me during normal business hours with any questions you may have. You might want to check the FAQs page too. Thanks! Judy 02/20/2008
	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
	Her name is Bel Aurora..... and here she is , fluffed up, at three days of age! As with all the Argentinus babies, they LOVE their canters! (So do I !) 11/21/2007
	Look what we have- First foal of the new foaling season!!! It was a double binky morning for 10 hours old Baby Bel ! Born a bit early (she was due on Nov. 28th), here we have our FILLY by my favorite ARGENTINUS out of BELROSE (Rubinstein - Inschallah). Baby Bel's arrival was much anticipated, but wouldn't you just know that Bel would choose our ONLY cold night to have an early filly! It froze here in Ocala last night (!) and we pulled out the trusty old baby binkies! I couldn't be more delighted with yet another filly by Argentinus our of Belrose.(Our Vet, Corey Miller, had correctly sexed the filly at 64 days) I still have her coming 3 year old full sister, although that one is a chestnut. This Baby Bel looks just like Argentinus. That was at 1 a.m., and at 3 a.m. we took delivery of our two German fillies by QUATERBACK that arrived safe, sound and VERY sane. I will try to take a photo of them later when I turn them out for some sun. 11/17/2007
	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. Bundeschampionat 2006 Champion - 6 year Dressurponys Champion - 6 year Vielseitigkeitsponys (versatility) On his way to the Bundeschampionats, he qualified in three tournaments in the "Versatility" with high scores: Haus Kierst ,Champion w/ 9,0 Huenxe,Champion w/ 9,2; Kempen Champion w/ 8,7 Participation in 2 qualification tournaments for dressage ponies in 2006 for the Bundeschampionats: Duisburg, Champion w/ 8,7 Langenfeld, Champion w/ 7,6 Then he became the Ch of the BCs For the Bundeschampion 2005, he qualified in THREE disciplines: Dressage Jumping Versatility He won the BCs for 5 and 6 year old in the "Versatility" division Successes in 2004: Champion of the Stallion Performance testing in Münster-Handorf. 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. 10/09/2007
	Changes for 2008... This season, I am implementing two changes to my service, which will, hopefully, benefit us all. First, I will begin a "Consultation service" for mare owners wishing my assistance in matching their mares with one of the quality stallions in our Frozen Semen Program. As you know, 32 years of hard work has gone into the knowledge that I carry in my brain, and I have been sharing it freely for those who have asked. But, time constraints demand that I organize it more like a bloodstock broker, so I will begin charging a nominal fee for this service. I determined that I spent over 68 hours last season , matching mares and stallions.....that was 68 hours taken away from the work that I need to do to implement the FS shipments, as well as breeding mares, foaling out, etc. Sorry that I continue to be a one man show around here - just don't know how to delegate those particular tasks that I personally do. Second thing: DR. JUAN SAMPER and I have made an arrangement to facilitate semen shipments within Canada. I am going to place semen in inventory with Dr. Samper of certain stallions. Contracts will still come through me, as usual, but he will make the shipments within Canada. He also will be available for breeding consultation with your Vets up there. We had some trouble with different Vet services up there this year that was making me think about shutting down all service to Canada. I think this will prove beneficial to both sides. Currently, I plan to inventory those stallions that I have exclusive distributorship rights to, such as: QUATERBACK WYNTON DON SCHUFRO FONTANE COULEUR RUBIN Canadians are welcome to contact me with special requests of different stallions, and I will happily add that to the main shipment up to Canada to Dr. Samper. 01/24/2008
	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
	Doll has a secret to share! Finally she can tell you that she is carrying the baby of her friend, TAMARINDE! We worked SO hard to get an embryo from Tam, and Dolly has been patiently waiting each cycle, doing everything right. We will keep checking her along, but the embryo is growing nicely. This one is by Florestan. Tam is going back to Jan Brons now! Her full brother has just won Reserve Champion of the prestigious "PAVO Cup" in Holland for the 4 year olds. That is the same competition that Tamarinde placed 7th in her fourth year! Excellence runs in the family. I am going to visit "WYNTON" in Holland next week and arrange for semen freezing for the U.S. I think it will be a more cost effective way to get her bloodlines !! This breeding/embryo transfer thing with her ain't so great! ($$$$!!!) 08/17/2007
	Continued good news on the foals of Quaterback.... The foals of Quaterback continue to receive accolades from north and south Germany. He wasn't bred to many mares last year, but the foals seem to show a certain consistency already. This news was reported to me by fellow breeder Bob DeGour of California: (and note the colors of his foals!) "Six Quaterback foals qualified for the Large Final at Schonhausen back on July 21st. The Champion filly is Quaterback / Rubinstein . She finished with a total of 28 out of a maximum 30 points!! Numerous QB foals received scores of 10 for walk and movement in general. The overall type and temperament of the foals was excellent and QB received kudos for his first crop..... The jury consisted of Georg Lichtenberg (Wietze) and Heinz Hoppe (Neustadt-Dosse). Results of Foal Championship Schönhausen/Elbe July21 Sire / Dam-Sire / Great-damsire / colour COLTS 1: Danzas / Granulit / Gotland /Dark Brown 2: Quaterback / Paradiesvogel / Kolibri / Dark Brown 3: Quaterback / Sandro Hit / Frühlingsbote / Bay FILLIES 1: Quaterback / Rubinstein /Jet Stream xx / Bay 2: Converter / Brandenburger / Galib ben Afas ox / Dark Brown 3: Quaterback / Sunny Boy / Lucky Champ / Dark Brown We will begin freezing Quaterback semen again in a few weeks, in preparation for next season. The first foals in the U.S. should be coming by late Feb. I will see a few of them in a couple of weeks and will let you know my observations. 08/17/2007
	Quite unique Lord Leo..... And here is peaceful Leo (Lord Sinclair out of Preference by Weyden)This colt has been such a joy since the day he was born. He is a real showman....loves attention and when he entered that show ring, he grew several inches! He is so impressive and so powerful. He has the wonderful , active hind leg that Preference puts on all of her foals. That quick hind leg, combined with his huge powerful hip, creates amazing energy and uphill movement with great suspension. He was duly awarded Premium status with the German Oldenburg Verband. 07/31/2007
	And THIS colt was the highlight of the day! This is Arrick Harper, by the great stallion ARGENTINUS out of a homebred mare from four generations of my breeding program. I am exceedingly pleased with the quality of movement of this colt. His presence is obvious, and the power he has, combined with his fluid suppleness, swing and elasticity is breathtaking. Judge Tobias Henke likened him to the fabulous dressage stallion Augustus de Starke, as they are both from the mold of their sire, Argentinus. Arrick lifts off the ground and shows great freedom and correctness of gaits. I bred the mare hoping to produce a super fancy hunter....but Arrick has surpassed that by far. Arrick will be managed in partnership for the Young Horse Championships. You can imagine how pleased I am to have such a wonderful Argentinus foal - my all time favorite sire! Arrick earned his Premium award from the judges along with high praise. 07/29/2007
	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
	Good news from Northern California! Do you remember SIRRINGO from a couple of years ago? He was the first SIR DONNERHALL foal to be born in the U.S., and out of my good mare REINA H (Rubinstein - Herbststurm - Pregel) Here he is , GRAND CHAMPION of the "Shelly Siegel" Breed Show where he prevailed over all the older horses. That's a good feat out there in California. Sirringo won in a class of over 14, then went on to win the Grand Championship. He is in the ownership of Pamela Bailey, who also owns our spectacular "RASTA" ! She is a busy lady, keeping both these boys in show shape, getting them out there, and winning . This is good news for Oldenburg breeders here in the U.S. , when these home bred foals show their quality against so many imnports! 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
	Fancy HILKEN'S BLACK DELIGHT colt FOR SALE ! Here is a super handsome, well raised "Delli" colt, owned by our "own" special photographer friend, Miss Cookie. So, the colt is here in Florida. We have additional photos on the Foals" page. "Midnight Surprise" is eligible for registry with the American Sport Pony Registry. He is very reasonably priced at $3500. If you have interest in him, please let me know and I will give you Miss Cookie's contact info. This must be the first "Delli" colt offered for sale here in the U.S., and he was the first born colt in the U.S. 06/15/2007
	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
	Arrick is growing up Here is ARRICK HARPER, the wonderful son of ARGENTINUS out of Heart's Afire by HARPER. We can see his powerful , uphill movement in every stride. And his temperament is the best, so easy going and people oriented. He is a much stronger boned colt than I would have figured on from this maiden mare. She did such a good jog with her first foal, that I have rebred her to the magnificent producer, DON SCHUFRO for next year. 05/11/2007
	HOT JAZZ sells........ HOT JAZZ and ARRICK share a moment - best friends. Yesterday's news around here was that this very special black colt, HOT JAZZ, (HOTLINE out of TAMARINDE) was sold to a very special horseman. PAT PARELLI just had to have him for his very own! One of these days , we will see Pat riding HOT JAZZ in his tours all around the world. He was totally taken with the colt's supple movement, super bright mind and winning personality. He can tell that this is an excellent athlete with a tremendous capability to learn. It is a wonderful opportunity for this wonderful colt. Thank you Linda and Pat. 04/13/2007
	Dream Rubina has good news to share! She has given us definite proof as to the fertility of the QUATERBACK semen. We ultrasounded twins yesterday, and it broke my hear to have to take one away :-( Also, I want to tell you that I am going to start putting up photos of 2007 foals from our collection of stallions here in the states. Many thanks to the Owners for sending them in, and I apologize for taking so long to get them up. This is a one girl show down here, and I can just do my best. 04/06/2007
	Our last Kiger foal for the season! And she is a doozey!! This is Cherokee Shimmer, by Warrior out of my special producing mare, Mirage. Here she is at 3 days . 04/03/2007
	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
	Tamarinde and Jan - shoulder in 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
	LOVE MY KIGERS !!!!!!! Here is my best Kiger mare, Cherokee Spirit, with her 2007 colt by Warrior. This one my Mom has named Cherokee Comet! She says it reminds her of a horse that her Papa used to have back in the 1930s! Yeah, well he MIGHT be a bit old fashioned....and QUITE a bit BIG! TOO big for me to ride. I ride his brother, Twister, who is 16.1 and plenty tall enough to stretch my legs just to get on him! This one is for a big man I think. Handsome boy, none the less. 04/03/2007
	Tempest and Cherokee Chickory ! Here is a precious Kiger filly by my stallion, Warrior out of a young Kiger mare, Tempest. I bought Tempest from the 2003 Kiger gathering/auction out in Burns, Oregon. She is a beautiful mare, and nice to ride. The filly has excellent markings and is the wonderful Iberian type that I breed for. She is a keeper and hopefully will enter the breeding program in a few years to cross with my Lusitano stallion, Zico. 03/22/2007
	Arrick at two weeks I am very ,very impressed with the Argentinus colt, Arrick . Here is a recent photo . 03/17/2007
	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
	Our NEW ARGENTINUS colt! Please welcome , at 24 hours old!, our new son of ARGENTINUS out of my homebred mare, "HEART'S AFIRE" (HARPER - FALKE - BEAUTE' - HERBSTSTURM - PREGEL.....several generations of my original Trakehner breeding program) I have named him ARRICK HARPER, and he is an absolute clone of his sire, down to the exact same markings....star and all. He is a big colt, with awesome legs and kind disposition. Being born at 330 days, I was expecting a filly, but that shows what I get for thinking! 03/02/2007
	Hotline - Jazz - Matador II - Rubinstein - Welt As.......... quite a pedigree for this young colt to live up to. But, HOT JAZZ is beginning to show his elegant, supple, reaching, soft movement. He is a gorgeous colt. I will keep you updated on photos! 03/02/2007
	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 and one of her grooms ! Tam particularly loves kids, and this is Shane Miller, who took good care of her at the show this past weekend. 09/18/2006
	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
	Here is BARDOT at 2 months now! This little jewel is my DON SCHUFRO - RUBINSTEIN - INSCHALLAH filly, BARDOT. BARDOT is SOLD. 08/28/2006
	BARDOT - our 2006 filly by DON SCHUFRO - RUBINSTEIN Finally, here is a photo of BARDOT (as in Bridget Bardot). She is by world class dressage horse DON SCHUFRO out of BELROSE (RUBINSTEIN - INSCHALLAH - ULTRASCHALL - FURIOSO II). She has had a stand up and look at me attitude since she was born - very people oriented and happy.......wonderful mover too. She has the beauty of her dam, with her wonderful Rubinstein - Inschallah type face and neck. I am holding on to her older sister by ARGENTINUS, so will offer little BARDOT for sale now (UPDATE ....BARDOT is SOLD). She is very correct in her legs and overall conformation , super type and stamped with movement typical of DON SCHUFRO offspring. 08/28/2006
	The Queen Bee reviewing her troops on inspection day !! Well, here I am, standing in my inimitable fashion (?), watching the mares and foals, making sure they are shown to their best. Photographer friend , Reg Corkum, caught me off guard. He was all over that arena taking photos! He did a particularly great job that day and caught each and every horse in a good shot. All of the following photos are by him and we all appreciate his documentation of the day so very much! 06/29/2006
	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 INCA SOMBRA - one of my Kiger mares.... and she has a very special secret to share! She is carrying an embryo for her friend, TAMARINDE (Jazz - Matador II - Rubinstein - Welt As) . Today we confirmed the heartbeat! The sire is the young Hanoverian sensation, HOTLINE. 05/08/2006
	Bella Argentina I don't think I have ever introduced you to BELLA ARGENTINA. This exquisite creature is by ARGENTINUS out of my mare, BELROSE ( RUBINSTEIN - INSCHALLAH - ULTRASCHALL - FURIOSO II - MIRACOLO xx) This shows how ARGENTINUS makes dressage horses too! 04/14/2006
	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
