Sneak Peek of this Monday’s musical ride

We have a list of quality foals available in-utero for 2021. Contact us if interested in any on the following list: Diamo Blue x Simply SM x Genever Quilot Z x Carvallo BB x Falkner Quilot Z x Carthago x Major De La Cour... Lordanos x Saint Tropez x Labrador Sir Wanabi x ES Magic x Graf Grannus Arko III x Daimlers D’Adriers x Elute All foals are eligible CSHA, some available to be registered Westfalen, Zangersheide, Hanoverian and other European registries.

And next, onto a foal we are all so excited about! Sunshine (Saint Tropez x Labrador) in foal to Lordanos (Landos x Ahorn) Sunshine is an imported Westphalian mare, approved CSHA by Sight Unseen Approval due to her extensive show record all over North America in the hunter ring. Ridden by the great Peter Pletcher and Kelly Farmer, this mare excelled in shows all over, including California, Kentucky, Texas and Wellington. She has produced some quality hunter prospects, and we... are excited to have her in our program. Lordanos is an amazing foundation sire. His successful offspring drew attention to this great stallion. In 2013, Lordanos was named the top jumper's sire in the United States by the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF). Lordanos' career began by winning nearly 40 competitions for young jumpers. He was successful in 1.40m and 1.50m classes for incredible eleven years. He was successful as the "family horse" because he has won big classes with all three riding Sosaths - Janne, Gerd and Hendrik. He and Janne Sosath-Hahn competed in a puissance class, successfully clearing a wall 2 meters high. Lordanos has an unparalleled character, extraordinary ridability and is an extremely talented show jumper. He has produced a very large number of incredibly successful offspring and he is regarded as one of the greatest sires in the world. After his long sports career, Lordanos retired at the age of 18. Lordanos is a descendent of the famous and high profiled "Ramiro line" 776 and a guarantee for maximal inheritance of performance and talent. The sire of Lordanos is Landos, one of the sons of the impressive stallion Lord. On Landos' dam side, there is the very interesting blood of Calypso I and Capitano. The dam sire Ahorn Z comes from the international show jumpers Almé Z and Heureka Z and has produced many top show jumping horses. In the third generation there is the bloodline of Calypso I, who is the sire of some of the world’s top dressage and show jumping horses. Lordanos' sire, Landos, and his dam, Ashley, both come from the Holstein dam line 776. This line produced top sport horses and the stallions Calvados I and II, Cortino I and II, Captain Incipit, Lord Incipit, Lauritz J, Rossini, Toledo and the famous and important sire Ramiro. Also our former stallion Levisonn is out of the dam line 776. Lordanos is Sire to some of the top jumpers and hunters competing in North America. He has sired: Private Practice, Lordan, Lorielle and many more top hunter, jumper and equitation horses. This cross is sure to produce something spectacular, suited for the hunter or jumper rings. Sunshine had a 2020 filly by Aloha, who is built beautifully and has an amazing head on her shoulders. Contact us for more information. More information

Next on the list, we have another in utero cross available. Sweet Pea (Simply SM x Genever) x Diamo Blue (Diarado x Chacco Blue) Sweet Pea is a gorgeous 17.1 hh Hanoverian mare who is a proven producer. After a short career in the ring, she went on to her broodmare career. Some of her progeny include Polar Ice and Pandora, showing successfully and moving up in the jumper ring in the US. We have retained her 2019 foal Sitting Pretty GP (Sir Wanabi) ...Continue reading

One of our many great in-utero options for 2021 is by Quilot Z out of our beautiful Cavalletta II (Carvallo BB x Falkner) Cavalletta II is by Carvallo BB, who is by the legendary Carthago Z.

URGENT FEDERAL SUPPORT NEEDED FOR CANADA’S WORKING HORSES Ottawa, ON, May 6, 2020 Equestrian Canada (EC) would like to express its disappointment that the federal announcement on May 5, 2020, of $252M in funding for the agri-food sector did not include desperately needed support for Canada’s working horses.... Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, equine farms across Canada are currently facing unprecedented financial instability. Since all public-facing activities have stopped, many businesses are unable to pay for animal care as their incomes have largely disappeared. EC’s recent national survey indicated there were approximately 46,500 horses and 8,500 equine facilities with less than a month of financial reserves and supplies as of April 6, 2020. Without urgent government support, many equine owners are now or will soon be facing the horrendous decision to offload perfectly healthy, capable animals into a marketplace in which supply far exceeds demand. Working horses are valuable, respected farm assets that require daily care and upkeep, including feeding, cleaning, movement and social connection, said Kristy House, EC Manager of Welfare and Industry. This level of nurturing requires animal care professionals and regular agricultural supplies, and costs upwards of $350 per horse, per month. The current relief options that are accessible to equine facilities dealing with significant lost income while supporting many horses don’t come close to being enough to properly care for the animals. House added, In addition to the uncertainty of horse care, we’re facing sector classification and program eligibility challenges with the federal government. We feel strongly that an opportunity to help our working horses and equine businesses was missed by the current equestrian exclusion from the newly launched AgriRecovery fund. EC has requested an emergency relief fund of $11.5M to $13M to provide COVID-19 pandemic relief and ensure the health and wellbeing of Canada’s working horses. The community is doing all it can to privately raise money for businesses in the greatest need but remains fearful that if help doesn’t come soon, the sector will suffer permanent damage. EC continues to advocate on behalf of the equine sector to the federal government and has launched a website initiative to empower the public to voice their support via direct communications to their local Member of Parliament. Visit www.equestrian.ca/industry/about/covid-19-response to learn more.
