Donarsagan Turns One

Donarsagan, Wrave's 2010 Hanoverian filly with the stallion Donarweiss ggf, became a yearling on March 24th. Sagan is the first filly we have retained for our breeding program since half sibling Kastiana was born four years ago. Still at a 'gawky' age, we have not been disapointed. Sagan is not only a lovely mover with good bone and flashy good looks, but she is smart and savvy and one of the most forward-natured of our homebreds. We have high hopes for her as she enters the breed arena in 2011.

Kastiana Sahal Delivers her First Foal

Maiden mare Kastiana Sahal delivered her first foal, a stunning chestnut sabino filly by Parcival, at 4:00 a.m. April 23rd. This is also our first 'grandchild' from stallion Kaareltje and beloved mare Wrave. The filly, named Genovia (Nova for short) has her dam's incredibly long legs and already stands chest high to me. Good thing she is as sweet and personable as her mommy and grand-daddy. A true 'pocket pony' who whinnies when she sees us and appears to know absolutely no fear. Now 24 hours old she is just learning where to put all those LEGS. We look forward to watching this young lady grow - and to washing all those white stockings! Many thanks to 'Auntie Linda' who took those precious first photos while I was on 'naval dipping duty.'
