Quick update:
On market:
- Moondance Rheinmaiden (Renegade Z/Brilliant Invader/Souvenir); 4yo mare green broken coming off a spell; stellar jumping/eventing lines; you won't get a nicer horse or a better deal. 14π₯π₯π₯Unless:
- Oscar! - weanling gelding, Emerald/Renegade Z/Brilliant Invader. 10 π₯π₯π₯for an Emerald out of a quality mare. Unheard of.
- Bentley (Quasi Fantasia MD) - rising 3yo gelding, Quando-Quando/Sandro Hit/Weltmeyer. All the best European Bloodlines for 10π₯π₯π₯
- Ivy Bank Jupiter - palomino weanling gelding; absolute bargain at 7π₯π₯π₯
- Glenara Nellie Melba - Knabstrupper filly foal; Stallion at Stud Raz - Tresaison Numero UNO - IMP Homozygous Knabstrupper-Birdwood Aarcadia. Grand Prix dressage on every side, and jumping lines from sire.
About to hit the ground:
- Stallion at Stud Raz - Tresaison Numero UNO - IMP Homozygous Knabstrupper/San Rubin - guaranteed spots
- Quintago/Don Schufro - this will be a special for someone.
- Sezuan's Donnerhall/De Niro/Weltmeyer - closely related to Secret Agent
- Brookside Esperance/Ivy Bank Luna - guaranteed palomino with BLING and will jump the house down (I've been slow to advertise this, but Luna as a 3yo got an AWHA award for 4th free jumping horse in Australia).
- Drumming R/Stallion at Stud Raz - Tresaison Numero UNO - IMP Homozygous Knabstrupper/Sandro Hit/Rotspon - 50% chance of spots, but regardless this one will be a cracker!
Pregnancies so far this season:
- Secret/De Niro/Weltmeyer - the mare is full sister to Torvina De Meyer (GP dressage), so be prepared to get a bank loan for this one.
- Sandro Hit/Sezuan - approximating reverse Secret..I've never gone into whether sire/dam or dam/sire yield similar results. Topic for PhD perhaps? But either say, Sandro Hit/Sezuan is going to be a cracker.
Breedings in progress:
