Exceptional quality foals and young horses by the stallions Sandro Hit, Donnerwetter, De Laurentis Rosenthal, Coromino and Feuertanzer and out of our very nice mares with excellent bloodlines.
We breed high quality horses of good temperament with high rideability and trainability as well as beautiful and correct conformation and superb movement for the amateur or professional Dressage, Hunter or Jumper Rider.
Our commitment to proper care and development of the young horse is unsurpassed as we strive to give your future equestrian star a balanced and long lasting foundation. Included in our program is correct and humane handling and training from the moment of birth. Our philosophy is to never cause any undo stress on the horse. Our horses don’t know that a human could do them harm. This means that you, the customer will get a horse with no issues to overcome and a foundation of trust has already been established so your training sessions with your new horse will go smoothly. We also give our foals and young horses the best possible chance for proper development by keeping their hooves trimmed on a regular basis.
Another part of our program is proper and correct socialization intended for the horse. These are herd animals and while once sold and in training and competition, some may not receive turnout and socialization, we feel that by giving them a natural start in life with the herd environment your new equine partner will have a strong foundation and self esteem to acclimate to their new surroundings. We have found that by allowing mature mares to help raise the foals after their weaning, the foals have much more confidence and they learn what their role is in the herd and are much easier to train and handle when they live in their natural order.
And last but not at all the least of our program is excellent and balanced nutrition including our very own custom mixed feed with the best ingredients for horses with individual doses of vitamins and minerals added for each horse and the omegas provided in the feed and just the right amount of carbohydrates for optimal physical development, you can rest assured that the horse that you buy from us has had the very best start in life.
