Using horses with proven sport pedigrees, primarily of Hanoverian, Holsteiner, and Trakehner lines, we strive to breed rideable, athletic horses with an emphasis on dressage and eventing. We aim to breed horses that we want to ride – and we hope that you will want to ride them too! From time to time, we have high quality horses for sale including foals, prospects and experienced competition horses.

Meet "Wymbledon RGS" aka Venus!

It has been a busy few days so I am late on this announcement, but Bijou ("Bohème" - Bugatti Hilltop/Feiner Stern) delivered this adorable filly by Wynton early (3:30 am) Saturday morning! I was in the middle of two days of scribing at the Ottawa Dressage Festival and attending the OEA cross country clinic on Sunday at Stevens Creek Farm, so it has been an eventful weekend! This is our fourth full sibling by Wynton out of Bijou, and I was so delighted to get a filly. The white markings were an extra delightful surprise!

It was a great start to the season for my best girl Voodoo ("Santeria RGS", 2015 Hanoverian mare - Sir Gregory/Federweisser) at the Ottawa Spring horse trials at Wesley Clover Parks! We finished 2nd in the Open/Sr EV90 division, with 30.5 (69.5%) in dressage and then double clear stadium and cross country. 🥰

This past weekend, our homebred Stella ("Interstellar RGS" - 2021 Canadian Sporthorse mare, Lestat/Indoctro) made her dressage debut with owner and rider, Kelsy Smith! The pair scored 74% for a very respectable first dressage performance at Training level!

Kelsy has done a great job producing Stella, who made her way out to her life on the west coast as a weanling. Stella has been eye catching from the day she was born and I've been really looking forward to seeing her in the show ring. Great job, team! 🥰

We are pleased to announce the arrival of our first foal of 2026!

Fata Morgana RGS (aka "Furie")
Hanoverian filly by Fidertanz out of Shephora (Shakespeare RSF/Gold Luck).

This lovely, typey filly had a smooth arrival on Mother's Day! To say that I am pleased that we managed to get not only a healthy foal but a filly from this cross is an understatement 🥰
Stay tuned for lots more foal spam - pictures really do not do this pretty girl justice!
