Leisel – 2005 Lauries Crusador/Bolero
We imported this Hanoverian mare from Germany as a three year old in 2008 with the intent to “step up” the quality base of our small breeding herd. She has turned out to be a wonderful producer of quality foals, three fillies so far and pregnant to Furst Nymphenburg for the 2012 season. Leisels 2009 foal, “Wisteria Lane” by Wolkenstein II, received her 1A status and was awarded Reserve Champion Canadian bred Mare at the 2011 Hanoverian Inspection and Show near Guelph. Leisels second and third foals, “Winslet” by Wolkentanz II and “Fleur de Leis” by Fidertanz, each made the final ring in their foal shows the following years. We have hopes of showing a “Family of Three” from Leisel at a future Hanoverian Inspection and Show.
St.Pr. Haya – 2005 Hochadel/Silvio
We purchased this mare at the Elite Sale in Verden, Germany to further reinforce the genetic base of our small Hanoverian breeding group. Rather than keeping Haya in the pasture rearing foals we have been transferring her embryo each year to a recipient mare so she is free for dressage competitions. Haya has two very nice Belissimo M colts from 2010 and 2011. We now look forward to her embryo transfered Furst Nymphenburg foal in the 2012 season.
Haya had a GREAT year in 2011! She scored many red ribbons with her performances in 1st level dressage tests, proved her genetic prepotency as the biological dam to 2011 Champion foal “Becks”, and was backed up by the licensing of her maternal 1/2 brother in Verden Germany in late October 2011. We are very proud of this sweet and attractive mare.
Fantasia – 2004 Feiner Stern/Goldfuerst
Fanny is an Oldenburg mare we had approved Hanoverian at the 2007 Inspection and Performance test. She has bred with frozen semen successfully in each of the last four years. Her foals have been very pretty with good movement. Fanny produced a very typey, beautifully conformed Sir Donnerhall filly on April 17th, 2011. We are very pleased with the result of this pairing and have bred her back to Sir Donnerhall once again.
