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.

Espri-Arkansas-Woermann

 Escudo II is a very expressive and typey 16h stallion. He is a full brother to the reknowned jumper stallion Escudo I. Escudo II was the Hanoverian licensing champion and is in the top list of jumpers as well as the top list for type. He is in the Hanoverian Jumper Program and has an FN rating of 103 for dressage, 128 for jumping and was 4th out of 43 stallions at his testing in Germany. Not only did Escudo win many show jumping competitions but he has produced several licensed sons and GP winners.   Escudo II's sire, Espri has produced 58 Grand Prix offspring in both dressage and jumping. His dam SPS Athene scored a 7.82 in her performance test and is by the state stud stallion Arkansas. There is much jump blood in Escudo II as well as many beautiful movers.  Here is  a stallion that has produced dressage winners, jumper winners and hunter winners...truly a versatile stallion that produces versatility as well. Escudo II has already produced 9 licensed sons and several showjumpers up to GP level and 13  SPS mares.  As well as producing top jumpers and dressage horses, the Espri blood is proving itself in the hunter ring as well. The wonderful, sweet temperament, rideability and trainability that Escudo II passes on only helps in the continued success of his offspring.

We believe the combination of Escudo II and Epic Believer will produce a wonderful athlete best suited for the hunter/jumpers. Epic Believer is by the great Denny Morris's eventer Epic Win. Epic Believer is a fabulous jumper as well as a beautiful mover that has always received wonderful remarks at her foal's AHS inspections. She scored so high at her inspection that she is listed in the Main Mare Book of AHS. Not bad for a registered TB mare! Her foals to date have all excelled in the ring and we expect no different with her 2009 Escudo II foal. Epic Believer has always produced size so we also expect her to add height to this foal which should mature 16.2h or more.

Federalist
1991 16.2 hh chestnut Hanoverian

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.

 1990 16.3hh bay KWPN

Equador - Zonneglans

    Idocus was the KWPN-NA 2007 Horse of the Year and has had an extensive and successful International Dressage career, representing Holland in the 2004 Olympic Games and representing the USA at the World in Cup Las Vegas and the World Equestrian Games in Aachen. He is also the only horse to win the Dressage at Devon Breed Show as a youngster and go on to win the Devon Grand Prix as an adult.
 

Idocus is an amazing dressage horse but his talents don't stop there. He also has a superb jump and has passed that on to many of his offspring. He has winning offspring in dressage and the hunter/jumper ring. In 1994, Idocus was presented to the NA-KWPN jury for inspection. He has the distinction of holding the highest score ever given in the North American Dutch Keurings scoring 99AA

Scores: Walk 9, Trot 8.5, Canter 9.5, Jumping 9, Character 9

The 2010 foal by Idocus out of "Mel" could easily be one of the best horses we have ever bred. Melesta by Hemmingway, had a successful career as an eventer and even though her jump was superb, her gaits are amazing. Her Rousseau colt was First Premium at his KWPN inspection and her Negro colt was just as spectacular! This should be a foal with lots of promise and we look forward to his or her arrival!

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.

1989 14 1/2 hh bay New Forest

  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.

Sandro Hit - Escudo I x Gajus
 

Schroeder is an approved Hannoverian stallion and passed his 70 day test in Germay in 2007. He shows super character (rated 9) , endurance and along with good movement, he jumps well. Schroeder had a great first year in the U.S. earning a 4th place USDF Materiale Horse of the Year and a 1st place USDF Hanoverian in hand Horse of the Year awards!!!  Schroeder is expected to sire offspring with easy characters for the amateur but the power and movement for upper level dressage and good jumpers.  Schroeder's sire Sandro Hit was Winner of 1999 6 year old Dressage World Championships and German Bundeschampionate. Sandro Hit has the highest breeding index in Germany with a score of  153! He was also the winner of the 1999 6yo Dressage World Championships and German Bundeschampionate. His Dam, SPS Esmeralda,  was 2002 Champion mare at the Loius Wiegels Show and took 2nd place at the prestigious Ratje-Niebuhr show. With Escudo I also in Schroeder's pedigree it is expected that jump talent will also be passed on. Schroeder has already, in his very limited foal crops to date, produced several Premium foals. His filly, Dorette MG is #4 USDF National Horse of the Year and #2 USDF KWPN Filly Horse of the Year! We expect great things from the pairing of Schroeder and Saretta. With bloodlines boasting Ferro - Sandro Hit - Escudo I how could you not end up with spectacular results! This foal should do exceptionally well in dressage but should also perform well over fences. If you want an upper level prospect this pairing could be it. His temperament is extremely sweet and kind. He is truly a people horse and just loves attention.

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!

Royal Appearance 1995Oldenburg NA (Holsteiner by blood)

 

 

 

 

 

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. All I can say is this baby by Royal Appearance and out of Hillary will be spectacular! It will have that Holsteiner blood that is know for versatility and power. It should excel over fences and have spectacular gats.
