Semper (Old)
- V.Pr.St. Indian Dream - Ico
Sempatico's breeding
is impeccable, as a foal Sempatico was the "Bundeschampionat"
National Champion ZfDP. He is by the Oldenburg approved pinto
stallion Semper who is by the great Holsteiner stallion Sandro
that has a total of 36 approved sons, 308 approved mares and 27
States Premium mares! Semper's dam Imago is an elite Preferent
KWPN mare by Samber the world's most influential and successful
pinto warmblood of all time. Sempatico's dam line is also
impressive with his dam being a Verband Premium mare by the
famous Dutch stallion Ico! Sempatico has completed both his 30
day test & 70 day test at Prussendorf finishing 5th out
of 18, 3rd in dressage index and 8th in jumping index. Final
score: 7.81 Also at the announcements of his scores Frank Bangert
the head director of Prussendorf State Stud said "Sempatico
is the best colored horse I have ever seen." In his 70
day test, Sempatico finished 6th in dressage with a great score
of 121.25. He was 11th of all 30 stallions presented! In the
U.S. with limited showing, Sempatico has always done well. At
Dressage at Devon he was in the top 4 of every class shown! He
continues to produces Premium foals each year with many Gold
Premiums through RhPSI heurings and First Premiums through
Oldenburg NA! Being homozygous, every foal he sires will have
pinto coloring.
All we can say is wow about the combination of To Be Frank
and Sempatico. Her foals to date have been nothing less than
spectacular! This mare is a producer. Her foals all receive her
active hind leg and wonderful shoulder with amazing "reach". Now
we will just add some icing to this one with Sempatico's pinto
coloring. We expect this foal to go Gold Premium easily and
receive high conformation and movement scores. We look for this to
be a versatile foal as well, as "Frank's" babies compete
successfully in both hunters and dressage. Both To Be Frank's
Sempatico foals went Gold Premium at their inspection. Her filly
LJS Sashimi scored and impressive 77.1 at her first show with an
amazing 8.0 for her trot!

Laroche
16.3 hh black Hanoverian, KWPN stallion |
|
|
|
Concorde-Voltaire-Nimmerdor
Big and impressive black approved KWPN
stallion imported from Holland. At his stallion testing in
Holland, he was 4th in the large jumping division. He then went
on to become Champion of the National Stallion Jumping Stallion
Show Den Brosch. He competed at Grand Prix jumping level
successfully with many wins before being imported to the United
States in 2003. Laroche also has a very impressive Jumping
Breeding Index score of 153 with an 83% reliability! This score
is based on the careers of his offspring that are more than
10yrs of age. This stallion is not only extremely athletic over
fences but he also posesses very elastic gates and has gorgeous
conformation with a quiet, calm temperament. His offspring are
competing successfully in both dressage and jumping. He is by
the preferent stallion Concorde by the great Voltaire.
The combination of
Laroche and Saretta (Ferro) a match for producing excellence in
jumping but both Saretta and Laroche have fantastic gaits so
this resulting offspring should also inherit both of these
abilities as well. Fetal sexed as a colt, if so I believe this
may very well be a stallion prospect. We are very excited about
this cross of
Concorde-Voltaire-Nimmerdor-Ferro-Saluut
blood.

For Pleasure-Eklatant
Federalist (also shown as Faberge) is a son of the legendary
stallion For Pleasure and the States Premium mare Eskalade by
Eklatant who produced three licensed sons. For Pleasure, is one
of the world's most successful show jumpers with earnings of 1.8
million Euro. He contributed to four championship victories over
the past eight years with the German Team, winning Gold four
times!
Federalist exhibits lots of scope and excellent form over
fences. His offspring are attractive horses that also show good
form over fences for the hunter and jumper disciplines. Many
have been successful in the hunter ring. Federalist has remained
sound and is still competing successfully in the hunter ring,
after a long jumper career, at the age of 18! He has a superb
disposition and excellent gaits. He passes on his winning hack
movement and easy going nature.
We
expect from the pairing of Federalist by the great stallion For
Play and"Lucy" by the great stallion Epic Win, a very user friendly
foal with huge potential and beautiful looks. It should inherit both parent's temperament and will do
well in the show ring. I predict this foal to have a substantial
build and wonderful conformation and size. With the jump blood
that both parents have as well as superb engines, I would expect
much jump talent suited for hunters, jumpers or eventing.

Rotspon - Matcho
Red Wine is quickly becoming a
hunter stallion sensation here in the U.S. He was recently
imported from Germany by Jill Burnell of Gray Fox Farm and his
hunter career just took off. He is a beautiful black stallion
that completed his 70 day testing in Germany with all high
scores and amazing scores of 10 for character, constitution and
rideability. He has three very lovely elastic gaits as well as
an impressive style over fences. Even though he has quite a busy
breeding schedule he has still found time to balance an amazing
show record in such a short, limited time. He has had many wins
in the hunter ring and continues to amaze all that see him in
person. Red Wine truly stamps his foals with his beauty and
temperament. His offspring have also been inheriting his big,
floaty movement and are consistantly winning on the line.
The 2011 foal by Red
Wine out of our NF Amayzing by Anhaltiner E should prove to be
the ultimate hunter. "May" has produced both dressage and hunter
offspring and is in may stud books due to her beautiful
conformation and elastic, big movement. "May" also has a
beautiful bascule over fences.

Santorini - Lortzing
SIR WANABI is a very modern stallion with a light
expressive movement, refinement, elegance and athleticism. But
more importantly, he is incredibly level-headed, which he seems
to pass on to his offspring. He is an amazing horse with a huge
amount of talent. He has competed in hunters, jumpers and
dressage and has many wins at all disciplines! This is a tribute
to his willing nature and trainability. He is level headed and
remains calm even in the busy warm up ring. Some notable wins:
2006 : SIR WANABI competed in the hunter divisions and
had several championships
2007 : SIR WANABI was shown in the 5 yrs
old jumper class. He won 2 classes and was consistently within
the
top 6. 2008
: SIR WANABI competed in 2 dressage shows at First Level. He
received scores up to 71.944%.
He was also Summerfest Breed Show Champion Stallion,
Kemptville, On, Canada.
2008: Grand Champion of the Great
American/USDF Stallion with a score of 80.45%, at Dressage at
Devon 2009
: SIR WANABI is CHAMPION in the Adult
Amateur 35 yrs and older division, at Blainville
2009:
SIR WANABI was RESERVE CHAMPION in the
adult amateur 18/36 at the Beaulieu Horse Show - week 1.
He was 1st in the hack, 2nd,3rd and 6th over fences, with his
owner Sandra Laprise.
The
pairing of the Sir Wanabi and "May" should produce a horse of
equal versatility. May has beautiful gaits with a free shoulder
and loads of push from her powerful hindend. She also has excellent form over fences. The
resulting foal should excel in the hunter ring inheriting the
beauty of both parents as well as quietness and talent. But this
baby should be able to compete and do very well in dressage,
eventing or jumpers. I would think the resulting foal would also
have a the ability to win in hunter in-hand classes due to the
superb conformation of parents.

Wicked Courtjester is a New Forest Pony imported to the USA from
Holland. He came with an already established show career in
Jumping and Dressage, competing at Z level, which is the
equivalent to our 3/4th level. He has excellent temperament and
character as well as athleticism, powerful elegant gaits shown
in the dressage arena and enthusiasm and talent for jumping. In
a relatively short time Wicked Courtjester has proven himself to
be one of the top Sport Pony Stallions in the country
consistently producing outstanding offspring noted for their
amazing temperaments, beautiful lines, and outstanding
movement-- all this from a variety of mares both ponies and
larger breeds. It’s no surprise he himself is producing such
quality offspring. Wicked CourtJester has many breeding
achievements. For instance, in Holland in one year alone,
21 foals were presented for inspection…all received Premium
awards.
In 1999 (AWSPR),
He was PA Site Champion and received approval for breeding as a
First Premium Stallion. In
2000 at the
ISR/Oldenburg Stallion Approvals he was given his Lifetime
Breeding License. Also in
2000 at
Dressage at Devon in the AWR Sport Pony Class, Wicked
Courtjester was the Champion.
The pairing
of these two sport ponies is spectacular. This colt
should excell in dressage and jumping and be large enough for a small adult
and amiable enough for a child to compete. We look forward to
seeing this gorgeous colt in the show ring.

Carentino -
Lantann x LadyKiller
| Beautiful Holsteiner
stallion standing in Germany. He is ranked #1 in
Breeding Index. He was also the champion of his 100 Day
Test and won his class at Bundeschamionat. Carpaccio's
stallion son, Chico's Boy was Champion Stallion at the
Holsteiner approvals! Carpaccio is one of those amazin,
elastic horses that not only has magnificient gaits but
has an out of this world jump. He has a big, beautiful
bascule over fences and is fearless to them. He is a
dual purpose stallion that also passes this onto his get
having many progeny with outstanding jumping ability
combined with movement. He has sired numerous states
premium mares and at least 18 approved sons. He has some
great names in his pedigree: Caletto 11, Cor de la
Bryere, Lantaan, Lord, Ladykiller
This stallion has generations of proven blood top and
bottom in his pedigree and can't help but stamp his
offspring with those prepotent traits.
We expect great things from the pairing of
Carpaccio
and Hillary. With Hillary's proven performance in
dressage and her powerful, effortless jump combines with
one of the best jumping stallions that also has
fantastic gaits...well all I can say is I can't wait.
This should be a spectacular cross.

Vosmaer-
Formateur Keur - Polaris
Ijsselmeer is an
impressive stallion and his show career proves it. in the 2007 Grand Prix - Open he
recieved CDS Horse of the Year "HOY" and USDF Reserve Champion Reg. 7.
in the 2007 Grand Prix Freestyle he was the Reserve Champion CDS HOY, USDF
Reg 7, and obtained the USDF all breeds award for KWPN-NA.
He was also the 2005 and 2006 Grand Prix Freestyle
Champion and was awarded CDS Horse of the Year. Ijsselmeer
has been the USEF/USDF Reserve Champion for 3
years in a row. Not only are his awards remarkable, but
many of his offspring have proven they have what it takes to win
as well. He sired Euro pro Pacho who in 2005 was the
2nd Level Freestyle USEF/USDF HOY Champion.In 2006 he was #1 in
3rd level Freestyle and #5 in 3rd level open USDF All Breeds
Award. Ijsselmeer has sired many other dressage winning
offspring and offers unique and sought after Gelder blood.
I am very excited about
this coming foal! The healthy dose of Gelder blood will no doubt
give substance and versatility and having Ferro close up should
still give enough refinement and beauty to make this one
gorgeous horse. With the bloodlines this foal is to inherit
should allow him or her to do very well in the dressage ring,
but also have plenty of jump talent. Personally, I believe this
is a foal that if a colt, would make an excellent stallion
prospect! The resulting foal from this crop was so spectacular
that we have decided to repeat the breeding. Saretta will be
rebred to Ijsselmeer Ikepono in 2011.

ATLANTIS
2001 15.3hh
black/white leopard Knabstrupper |
|
|

|
(Adonis af Asgard x Sissi af Asgard by Stjerneprinsen af
Vejrup )
He is the ONLY IMPORTED and APPROVED
KNABSTRUPPER STALLION standing at stud in North America!
Atlantis was recently approved for breeding with
Rheinland-Pfalz-Saar Int. He was the first Knabstrupper
stallion ever inspected by the Germans here in this country.
Now, foals sired by this stallion in America have the option
to receive German warmblood papers.
Knabstruppers are classical dressage types, resembling the
Iberian horses like Lusitanos & Andalusians as well as more
modern performance warmblood breeds. Being intensely
Knabstrupper with 75% "purebreds" in his pedigree, Atlantis
definitely reflects the old baroque style of his ancestors.
He has an estimated 20 leopards within 4 generations! With
Trakehner and Oldenburg in the 3rd generation, Atlantis
represents a superior combination of sportive and classical
Knab breeding.
The
result from the cross of Atlantis and Labet is a super
quiet, loving gelding that truly wants to please. He has
been super easy so far in his training. I expect him to make
an excellent amateur friendly horse with a perfect size for
a child or small woman. I expect him to finish 16.1 to
16.2h. He has solid and correct conformation and should hold
up easily in sport. He has already demonstrated beautiful
form over fences and would make a lovely Childrens Hunter.
He should also do well in dressage and in fact could see him
as a true "all around horse" for someone interested in
several disciplines.

Riverman-Lord Colando
In
2000, Royal Appearance underwent
testing at Rancho Murieta in the Federation's 100-day
test. He was the ONLY stallion to receive marks of at
least 7 in all categories and received 9's for
character, willingness to work and ability to work. He
finished 4th overall, with a jumping index of 118.44 and
a dressage index of 120.29. As a result of his overall
total of 121.16 points, Royal Appearance
was named a Class I Stallion. At his ISR/Oldenburg NA
licensing, Royal Appearance earned a
total score of 153.5 points, second in the history of
the registry only to that earned by his sire!
|
In 2001, Royal Appearance took
part in his first year on the showjumping
circuit. Following a short breeding season,
Royal went to Florida to train and compete under
Margie Goldstein-Engle. Despite competing
against a more experienced peer group, Royal
held his own at each American Young Jumper
Championship qualifier he attended. At the AYJC
Finals at the Hampton Classic in September,
2001, Royal Appearance
maintained a no-fault record and was one of
fifteen 6-year olds to make it to the final day
of competition. In the dramatic jump-off round,
Royal Appearance was one of
only three to go clear! He finished in second
place, earning the title of Reserve Champion 6YO
Young Jumper.
Royal Appearance also competed successfully in
combined training events under the direction of
Hilltop Farm's trainer Hans Engberg. He
demonstrated tremendous athleticism,
willingness, determination and talent for cross
country. |
This cross I
would expect to be a very good jumper as well as having
elastic gaits. I could easily see it excelling in
eventing. Definitely will be very athletic and
beautiful. It is fetal sexed to be a filly.
