He's Here!

Katje has a new SON! Friday June 24th Tatiana delivered a chestnut colt with four socks and a narrow blaze. Mommy and baby are doing well, and maiden mare Tatiana has been a model mother. Thanks to Dr. Deborah Harrison of Lio Lomas Dutch Warmbloods for this opportunity - and for taking on our usual role of the sleep deprived! We are looking forward to photos of this half sibilng to Kastiana and Korinthian.

Kastiana Sahal in foal to Licosto

We were thrilled to have Kastiana Sahal check in foal today to the lovely Westphalian stallion Licosto (pictured above) via frozen semen. This is Anna's first pregnancy with frozen and what a lovely match. Licosto, grandson of the famous German Verband stallion Likoto and out of a mare by Rosenkavalier is both talented and elegant and the perfect compliment for the tall, large-boned Anna. His sire's dam-sire is the legendary Donnarhall lending tremendous ridability and temperament. Still a young stallion, Licosto has already qualified twice for the Bundeschampionat and was chosen for the World Breeding Championships in addition to impressing judges with his jumping ability. Grateful thanks to Dr. Michael Harrison who stayed up to inseminate in the middle of the night!

Tanzer and Fred Back Together Again

Tanzer had her fourth ride today since going back under saddle last week. She has now had 22 rides total and the pair are absolutely amazing together. Fred keeps the girls happy and relaxed and they actually seem to enjoy the work. Tanzer is pictured here working on the 'basics' of a forward trot and relaxed canter.
