We are thrilled to announce that Goldmaker successfully completed the 70 Day Stallion Testing at Silver Creek Sporthorses. He finished 9th out of 13 stallions with some really impressive scores.

Scores will be finalized with Germany and the FN this week. His final score sheet can be seen by following the link! Thank you to everyone who believed in this wonderful stallion and offered their support!

Thanks to Angela Pritchard for forwarding us a photo of Goldmaker from yesterday at the Stallion Testing.

Final three days of the testing are November 10th, 11th and 12th, 2011!

"THIS is why I breed to Mannhattan!!" Mare owner, Tina Poseno was doctoring one of her other horses when she heard her barn help's horrified gasp. She turned around to see her 6 year old son, Deacon lying on her yearling Mannhattan daughter, Micaela's back with his arms wrapped around her neck. Tina slowly walked over to the pair, really wanting to RUN, in order to get him off Micaela before the filly startled or spooked. Nope. Wasn't going to happen. Her son protested that he needed his picture taken first! Tina's rather "tense" expression says it all in the photo, but after she disengaged her son from the Micaela's back, she slowly got up and proceeded to follow the child around quietly. Thanks for the photo, Tina! It speaks volumes about the temperament Mannhattan babies have.

Dixieland Jazz d'Avalon (Don Principe x Mata Hari/Mannhattan) has been confirmed in foal to the Hanoverian stallion, Christ. Christ was second Reserve Champion Stallion in the group of dressage stallions at the Hanoverian licensing in Verden. His large riding horse physique harmoniously forms a perfect picture from the side; a star to decorate his open face and four white socks that give the illusion that he's suspended in air when he moves. There's also maximum elasticity in every phase of his movement and over the jump as well. He masters all of his tasks with a good mind, skill and ability. In short: a stallion that can do anything!
We LOVE crossing our mares with stallions that are versatile with a talent to go either jumping or dressage. Dixie is out of the same dam as Belafonte d'Avalon and she herself exhibits that versatility, showing exceptional gaits and catlike jumping ability.
This foal will be available for an inutero purchase.

Cherry Bomb
June 30th, 2011
After producing 53 colts out of the last 57 foalings, we are a little bit excited to finally introduce our latest and rare around here FILLY - Cherry Bomb (Colorado Skrodstrup x Tatabra Kirsche/Dimitil de Terlong). She had a rough start with Kirsche stepping on her when she went to rise after foaling and with the heat wave we're having here (105 degrees the day she was born). But, she seems to be on track for mending. She is quite a bold, inquisitive filly that knows no stranger. And, she is quite happy "dirt biking" up and down the ditches and gullies, as well as standing to be hosed down. She is a leggy thing with a beautiful shoulder and type. She will be offered for sale. Watch for new photos and updates soon!

Mannhattan
March 1st, 2011
Mannhattan has once again proven himself to be the rock star we know him to be! For the second year in a row, Mannhattan has produced the highest number of site champions at the ISR/Oldenburg N.A. foal inspections in 2010! He has offspring competing successfully in all disciplines as well as a fully licensed son that was approved through his performance successes in Grand Prix Dressage. Well known for producing athletic kids with user friendly temperaments, he has also proven himself to be a fantastic broodmare sire. His daughter, Mata Hari (Mannhattan x Idealiste/Ideal) is Belafonte d’Avalon’s dam and we have an up and coming youngster – Edward Scissorhands (Escudo II x Morticia)– out of another Mannhattan daughter, Morticia (Mannhattan x Faberge/Frohwind) that will be presented and inspected this year. We are excited to see what our Mannhattan daughters will produce this year! Macy’s Rainbow (Mannhattan x Delilah/Vosmaer) is in foal to the Hanoverian stallion, Argosy for a March foal and Morticia is in foal to the Hanoverian stallion, Black Tie for an early June foal. Both of these foals are available for purchase.

We are over the top to announce that both Colorado Skrødstrup and Belafonte d’Avalon successfully completed their stallion performance tests! Colorado became the first Knabstrupper to have successfully completed a 70 or 100 Day Stallion testing and he did so with exceptional scores! By doing so, he became the first Knabstrupper to attain Elite status with the American Knabstrupper Association! Finishing 3rd in Dressage and 5th overall, he astounded spectators and riders alike with his temperament, rideability and athleticism. Receiving 9.5 for his temperament, 9’s for his character, constitution, rideability and trainability, he showed himself to be a super ambassador for his breed. 8’s and 8.5’s for his gaits and jumping rounded out his demonstration of just how versatile the Knabstrupper is! Colorado is now fully licensed and approved KNN, AKA, RPSI (Knabstrupper book) and sBs. We are applying for approval with the Anglo European Studbook which will make Colorado the first Knabstrupper to have been accepted by that registry. Please stay tuned for more information on that. Colorado will go into quarantine on his return home to be frozen for export to Australia, New Zealand and the EU, thereby making him available for breeders in those countries. Frozen semen will be available in Europe sometime in March, 2011!
