"Preston" is without question a top hunter prospect in every way. With a beautiful,
typey head, a sultry panther walk and the lightest, most balanced of gaits, this
ultra-fancy colt, no doubt, is very special. He has that super fancy, floaty, flat-kneed,
toe-flicking trot that everyone dies for and a reachy, cadenced canter that will take
him straight to the top of the hack. Preston was awarded PREMIUM foal status at his
GOV inspection, and was highly praised by the German inspection team. He received
glowing comments such as "SUPER nice foal, very nice type", "excellent head and
neck", "showed extremely good movement and elasticity" and "this is one to watch for
the future; he is a TOP prospect for the hunters." We couldn't agree more! Preston's
sire, the imported Elite Hanoverian stallion, Paparazzo, is well-known for his
phenominal, knees-to-the-throat jumping style but also his amateur-friendly
"puppydog" temperament disposition. Preston has tremendous crowd appeal and an
inquisitive, playful & kissable disposition. He is very relaxed, happy-go-lucky, & quiet
with a fantastic temperament! He is easy to handle, non-excitable and well-mannered.
You truly couldn't ask for much more. He should mature to approx. 16.1h. Preston is
fully eligible for nomination to the International Hunter Futurity. We are considering
keeping this one to show on the line but he is available to a fantastic show home.
This boy is the epitome of a fancy hunter!!
Congratulations to Eileen Henry of Long Island, NY on the purchase of this fantastic
colt (9/06)!!! Look for Preston in the IHF this season!

There is no more fitting a name for this truly stunning, elegant, dolphin faced black/bay
yearling filly by the renowned Hanoverian stallion, Donatelli, by Donnerhall. This ultra
fancy filly displays awe-inspiring, buoyant gaits that exude brilliant reach, ultimate
lightness, and tremendous impulsion and cadence. I am telling you now, this is one of
the best hunter moving youngsters I've ever seen. So you want the hack winner? You
got it! She will drop your jaw, guaranteed. Her trot is out of this world and her canter
will be the best out there in the hunter ring. Movement and athleticism this amazing will
only take her straight to the top in any arena, and coupled with an extraordinary
disposition, "Maddie" will make short order of stealing your heart! Not to mention she
is breathtaking with an absolutely beautiful head! She possesses faultless
conformation and has the talent and breeding to pursue any avenue. Delightful to
handle and be around, this breathtaking filly is not to be missed. Maddie is a fine
example of the selectively bred modern Hanoverian and a lovelier filly will be hard to
come by. The very moment she was born we knew she was special, and she just gets
better! She will make a super fancy junior or amateur hunter and with a big, beautiful,
reachy, uphill canter she has all the step you could ever need. She's been free
jumped sparingly over small fences and is willing with great form and instincts. We
challenge anyone to find a youngster with a better disposition and that's a better
mover - she's just everything! This one is something you just don't find every day. We
are so impressed with this filly we are breeding two mares to Donatelli this year (for
08)! She should mature to around 16h -16.1h with plenty of body and is obviously
plenty gorgeous and correct to stand on the line.

"Ava" is an exceptional 4 yo Hanoverian filly by the Elite stallion Andric out of the
wonderful top producing Hanoverian mare Wer Est Abenschein/Winnetou West.
Andric, by Absatz, is a remarkable stallion standing 17h with an impressive
performance record at FEI level dressage, including competing at the World Cup with
his amatuer owner. Andric has numerous HOY awards and still competed soundly in
his 20's. The pleasing result of this combination is a large, intelligent filly of medium
build with plenty of bone and substance. This classy filly is not only beautiful to look at
with her gorgeous face, huge eyes and shapely neck, but her big, lofty, loose and
elastic but very hunter-type gaits can only be described as perfection. She is a very
good mover and is only getting better as she matures!! Ava has a HUGE, balanced,
lopey canter and displays perfect lead changes at liberty. She is quiet, smart plus
extremely willing with a pleaser attitude. We feel she is truly destined for the hunter
ring and is a AA quality prospect. If she is anything like her dam's previous offspring,
she is destined to be a super star!! She has been free jumped sparingly over very
small fences and shows some impressive talent and raw athletic ability with scope
galore. In fact, she truly LOVES to jump and can leave from any distance, no matter
how big! The bigger the better! If you're looking a for BIG, fancy and elegant hunter
prospect, she is the real deal! Ava is a true athlete, and has all the talent, ability and
potential to excel in the 3'6" and 4' divisions, and also would likely make a fabulous Big
Eq horse! She has several winning half-siblings and is sure to follow their lead. She
string tests to about 16.3h, and currently stands ~16.2h. Ava is home from the
trainer's and can w/t/c under saddle and jump little fences. She is extremely talented
and best suited for an experienced amateur or pro who wants something that really
has the ability for the big stuff.

"Reagan" is a sizeable, leggy and very statuesque filly with a lovely head and perfectly
correct conformation. This comes as no surprise, as Rosenthal is the top producer of
GOV premium foals of all time, in fact, he's been standing number one by a landslide
for the past four years. He definitely stamps his offspring, and Reagan is no exception
to the quality he typically produces. Combined with our wonderful producer "Injoy", this
filly has the fantastically light, elastic, flat-kneed hunter type gaits filled with tons of
suspension, elasticity, balance and cadence that any hunter rider or trainer will covet.
Her canter truly is to die for!!! Just like her dam's, who has one of the best I've ever
ridden - BIG, slow and lopey with total balance and tons of step! She also displays
effortless perfect tempi changes at liberty. While bred for the hunters, a dressage
rider would also be thrilled with the cadence and front-end lightness that Reagan
displays in her movement. She is truly talented enough to go either way. Aside from
her numerous physical attributes, her temperament is one of the best I've ever seen.
She was the friendliest newborn foal I've ever encountered. She is brave, inquisitive,
willing and lovable. She is unbelievably easy to handle - we body clipped her without a
halter! Everything is CAKE with her!! Reagan will be a great Children's or Amateur's
horse because of her fabulous disposition, and likewise would be perfect for the first
time foal owner due to her ease in handling and uncomplicated nature. Reagan is a
very tall, large bodied filly & should mature to at least 16.2h to 16.3h. She is fully
eligible for nomination to the International Hunter Futurity.

This aptly named, SUPER fancy filly is more than we could have hoped for! Pictures
don't even do her justice; she is so unreal that she almost looks like a porcelain doll,
hand-chiseled to perfection. She is not only stunningly beautiful with the best head
and swan-like neck, but she has a wonderfully sweet, friendly and quiet disposition to
match. Her conformation is absolutely correct and she is an elegant, balanced and
buoyant mover. Her dam, the MMB GOV approved Holsteiner mare, Oro, is a very well
bred 3/4 sister to the approved stallion Regulus who showed very succesfully thru 2nd
level. Oro has really outdone herself with this supermodel of a filly! "Radish" will make
an unbeatable prospect for the hunter breeding classes and is fully eligible for
nomination to the IHF. She will render the crowd speechless when she enters the ring
and will be the fanciest youngster on the line! With her lofty gaits, uphill build & great
breeding she would also be a lovely dressage prospect, though her looks really
scream fancy hunter. Her temperament is simply awesome - you can do anything to or
with her - she's like a golden retriever! Not a care in the 16h+ -. Don't miss out on this
stunning filly. You will not find a nicer, better bred nor more attractive filly at this price
anywhere. She is totally drool-worthy!

athletic conformation, beautifully set, long, shapely neck, and ballerina-inspired
movement, "Petra" is everything that her fantastic breeding suggests. She is FANCY
FANCY FANCY! Her sire, Pablo, is a proven and consistent producer of fancy hunters

This is a noble, leggy and modern colt which shows the lighter influence of his very
fancy dam, who herself received an 8 for her typiness and femininity at her inspection.
He has a gorgeous baby doll head, especially nice for a colt, and is refined and
elegant in his body with a fabulously shaped, well-set neck and clean throat. Although
his dam is an extremely good mover, he is also a testament to our conviction about
Donatelli, showing dainty, graceful and balanced TOP hunter movement with a nice
improvement on the hindquarter. Can you say super ultra fancy??? He has a reachy,
elastic but flat-kneed trot and a big, balanced rocking horse canter. Even at this
tender age we can tell he is very sensible, smart and quiet. He will be an wonderful
prospect to show on the line, as he possesses the classic, fancy type and fabulous
movement that makes the winner. He should mature to approximately 16.1h. We'll
update more as we get to know this very fancy little guy but so far we are extremely
pleased with his quality and disposition!

This is a very interesting colt who is the result of a combination between two
outstanding, winning hunters. He was bred via frozen semen from a fabulous stallion
who, despite having some of the top scores at his approvals of any stallion in North
America, was gelded many years ago to pursue a career in the Junior Hunters.
Renaissance since has come to live with Sweet Briar College in Virgina and shows
VERY successfully year after year in the 3' and 3'6" divisions, even now into his late
teens. He is well known for his wonderful temperament, beauty and stunning jumping
style and ability. Foals by him are exceedingly rare due to his being gelded 10+ years
ago, so this baby is not only special due to this fact but also since he is out of one of
the winningest palomino TB's in history. Skattered Dreams was a winner at the most
prestigious shows in the country such as Upperville and Devon, with a record two miles
long. She has earned Best Young Horse titles and was the winner of the Young
Hunters Under Saddle at Devon in 2004. Needless to say, she is an extremely good,
daisy cutter mover! "Honey" also showed in the Baby Greens with year-end titles and
is a great jumper with a perfect lead change. She is Jessica's favorite riding horse due
to her great disposition and kind, playful attention-hound personality. While this foal
didn't inherit Honey's dilute coloring, he is an attractive bright chestnut with lots of
chrome - a stripe and 3 substantial socks - something new for us and our sea of plain
bays! He is very large and extremely long-legged, and considering Honey's grandsire
was 17.2h, we expect this colt to mature to about 16.2h to 16.3h. Honey is approved in
the highest book (MMB I) of the RPSI so this colt will receive full papers. If you're
looking for something special and unique with all the breeding to back it up, this colt is
for you!! Top Colt at RPSI Inspection!

this stunning colt! We hope he makes all your dreams come true! :)
this stunning colt! We hope he makes all your dreams come true! :)
"Demi" is an illustrious and downright delicious filly with a sculptured swan face, big
dark eyes and a stunning, voluptuous topline that exudes quality. Although she has it
all in the looks department, her movement is even better, and she is everything we
ever hoped for with this breeding. Our first Donatelli filly was a simply spectacular
hunter mover who ended up being fought over when she left us, and Demi seems to
have similar fabulously freakish movement with a jaw-dropping trot and the BEST
canter ever and perfect flying changes. There is no question that she will be THE
hack winner. She is so balanced and athletic that every movement for her is
effortless. She is intelligent and a quick learner with an adorable, quiet disposition.
She is a beautiful liver chestnut like her dam and her grandsire, Donnerhall. We can
only hope for a duplicate as we don't see how it could get much better! She will be an
excellent prospect for showing in-hand and should clean up in the hunter breeding with
her gorgeous shape, correct conformation and extravagant movement. Donatelli is
now starting a new career in the hunter ring after 10+ years as a winning Grand Prix
dressage horse, and we are and have been convinced he is the total package as a
hunter sire, whose amazing talent is now finally starting to be realized by the hunter
breeding community. He already is winning in the Baby Greens in Canada!! This filly
is faultless and simply a testament to that fact, and is everything any top hunter rider
or trainer could ever want. Her fancy 2 yo half-brother "Papotage" is winning on
the line and was most recently THIRD at Upperville after winning both his
classes at Blue Rock!!! He just finished 12th in the Nation and Reserve
Chamption Zone 2 for 2008 with somewhat limited showing! (see photos below)
Demi should easily follow in his footsteps! She should mature to approx. 16.1 - 16.2h
and is substantially bodied. Seriously, don't hesitate to claim this filly if you are looking
for the finest quality hunter prospect!! We are so impressed with this filly that Joy has
been confirmed back in foal to Donatelli for April 09.
Demi finished 2009 top 5 in the Nation and 1st in Zone 2 for the Yearling
Hunter Breeding division! We knew she was special. ;)

incredible filly! We can't wait to see what the future holds!
It looks as though we've hit the jackpot again with this wonderful proven cross! Our
long anticipated full sibling to last year's "Decadence" arrived a bit early and quite to
our surprise, but we are thrilled with this adorable and very fancy, top quality colt!
"Ducky" is extremely similar to his full sister even down to the markings, and we
couldn't be happier about that - he has a fabulous dished face and small ears on a well
set, shapely neck. He has good bone and is very correct. And if that's not enough,
he's also a freakish hunter mover who might even be MORE flat kneed and dainty! He
is balanced, rhythmic and elegant. With his dam's solid jumper breeding and ability
that she consistently passes on, he should have plenty of athleticism for jumping and
the style over fences from both parents to boot. Additionally, he has a precious
personality and is very sensible and easy to handle just like all of Joy's foals have
been. He is just another example of our love for Donatelli, who tragically passed away
in November which was a crushing blow. Obviously there won't be many more if any of
these wonderful offspring now, so we look forward to watching this stunning guy
develop and will post more information and pictures as he grows. We expect he will
mature to approx. 16.1h but we'll be able to better tell as time goes on. Ducky is also
eligible for nomination to the IHF. His full sister below has won her first two yearling
hunter breeding classes in 2009 and was also honored with two reserve BYH titles, and
stands in the top 20 nationally already! Also, his half brother out of the same mare,
Papotage, was 12th in the Nation and Reserve Champion Zone 2 in the Two Year Old
Hunter Breeding for 2008 with relatively limited showing!!
long anticipated full sibling to last year's "Decadence" arrived a bit early and quite to
our surprise, but we are thrilled with this adorable and very fancy, top quality colt!
"Ducky" is extremely similar to his full sister even down to the markings, and we
couldn't be happier about that - he has a fabulous dished face and small ears on a well
set, shapely neck. He has good bone and is very correct. And if that's not enough,
he's also a freakish hunter mover who might even be MORE flat kneed and dainty! He
is balanced, rhythmic and elegant. With his dam's solid jumper breeding and ability
that she consistently passes on, he should have plenty of athleticism for jumping and
the style over fences from both parents to boot. Additionally, he has a precious
personality and is very sensible and easy to handle just like all of Joy's foals have
been. He is just another example of our love for Donatelli, who tragically passed away
in November which was a crushing blow. Obviously there won't be many more if any of
these wonderful offspring now, so we look forward to watching this stunning guy
develop and will post more information and pictures as he grows. We expect he will
mature to approx. 16.1h but we'll be able to better tell as time goes on. Ducky is also

Congratulations to Eileen Henry on her purchase of Preston's half
brother! This colt will make us all proud! Best of luck with him!
brother! This colt will make us all proud! Best of luck with him!
Claim to Fame sure pulled all the stops on this adorable coming 3 year old!! With his
awesome markings he's sure to be a show stopper. "Cappy" is extremely leggy and
tall, one of if not THE tallest foals at birth to date, not to mention the flashiest! His legs
go on forever! Even at this young age we can see his lovely topline and he stands
very correct. He has a beautiful dished face and what a sweet temperament and such
a kind and genuine expression! He's already moving super well, very flat kneed with a
big, balanced canter and natural lead changes. Honey is one of the most winning
palominos in hunter breeding history and has a huge list of credits to her name, and
considering both parents are Devon winners, this baby has a big future ahead of him!
Claim to Fame has won in the Working Hunters (4') as well and is ridden and handled
by an older amateur. We can already see that fantastic brain coming through! He is
super friendly and wonderful to handle. He is the barn favorite and a total ham when
visitors come. Honey is Jessica's favorite to ride and also has an unbelievable
disposition, so we're not surprised. So far her foals are reliably blessed with
extraordinary temperaments and we are thrilled about that indispensable consistency.
We recently free jumped him over a small fence and he shows lots of potential!!
Cappy is just delightful and has the most wonderful disposition! He is eligible for
nomination to the IHF and is more than fancy and correct enough to be shown on the
line. Cappy has been branded and registered with full pink papers with the RPSI. He
received an 8.0 on type at his inspection! He is quite a good size, and stands almost
16.1h at barely 2.5 years old, but is a beautiful youngster, whereas some tend to be
"hide behind the barn" :). We expect that he'll mature to 16.3h. He's a very unique
individual and you certainly won't see another like this! We will send Cap to be started
in February or March, at which time his price will increase substantially.

"Bing" is among one of Apiro's first foal crops, and we are very pleased with this
cross!! He has a beautiful face and long, elegant neck, and has thus far proved to
be a fancy mover with improved elasticity and scope to his gaits of that of his dam.
He is flat kneed but very free and floaty! He has a huge rocking-horse canter and
effortless lead changes. He is leggy and correct with a nice weight of bone. Bing
has a curious and kind disposition and is already quiet and sensible. Subrette
competed first lightly in the hunters, I Pony Clubbed her when I was 15, and she went
on to do what was then the Low Prelim jumpers, winning at several rated shows.
There is no question she can jump, and combined with Apiro's obvious jumping
talent, this guy should have no lack of promise in that area. Subee is a fancy
daisy-cutter mover and was almost always the hack winner, and has produced
consistent great hunter movers for us, and this colt is no exception. He is an
extremely good hunter type mover with lots of reach, elasticity and rhythm. We can't
wait to see how he develops and matures!! He is expected to mature to around
16.1-16.2h. We would like to possibly repeat this breeding in the future if Subee is
able, as she is 19 this year, though we feel lucky to have this wonderful colt here with
us now!

"Siggy" is a super attractive coming 3 yo gelding who is a wonderful combination of
extremely good jumper blood and that of his dam's great dressage lineage. He is very
correct with good bone and should be of a medium build, with a beautiful, curvaceous
neck and topline and particularly good hind end. He has excellent feet that are well
matched and of good quality. He is elastic in his movement with ground covering gaits
and natural balance. Due to his blended breeding, Siggy shows good suitability for
either the hunter or dressage ring, or even the jumper ring. With his good looks, size,
and correct, attractive conformation, he is also definitely a candidate to show on the
line prior to his under saddle career. He is quite flashy being a rich, dark bay with just
the right amount of chrome, and his blaze touches his right eye in a unique way, giving
him darling white eyelashes! We expect him to mature to around 16.1h given his
current size and his parent's heights and offspring size history. His temperament is
naturally laid back and easy-going, and he is very friendly and loves attention. All of
Oro's foals (he is her 4th) have had a lovely disposition and he is no exception. He is a
farm favorite with visitors as he's first to greet you in the field, sometimes coming
running, and usually with a welcoming whinny! He's a heartbreaker! He represents a
tremendous value as he is ready to be started! We will send him in February or March
to be broken at which time his price will increase substantially.

"Lance" is a very attractive branded Oldenburg/ISR gelding, coming 2 this year, with
the modern type, size, movement and brain that will undoubtedly make him a star in the
show ring. Plus, his unique fawny chestnut coloring with a flaxen mane and tail
definitely help him to turn heads. Currently standing almost 16.1h as a 2 yo, we expect
Lance to be a very good size, maturing to 16.3h or even better. Lance is by the
sensational Hanoverian stallion Liberty Gold, and out of a branded Belgian WB mare
by Watchman who was a premium foal. His lovely type is the result of an excellent
blend of wonderful older style and more modern blood, as well as an infusion of quality
Thoroughbred lineage to accentuate the type and athleticism. Lance has a gorgeous
topline worthy of showing on the line! With his correct conformation and well-matched
feet to go along with his striking good looks, we're sure he'll be a standout. Lance is
also a very fancy hunter-type mover with very little knee action and lots of toe-point at
the trot, plus plenty of step, balance and great rhythm in his canter. He displays
effortless lead changes at liberty as well. Lance is one of the sweetest and easiest
youngsters we've had. He's been well handled and has wonderful ground manners.
Nothing bothers him and he's very loveable and willing to please. It's always a delight
to deal with him. We see him as having the temperament to be an excellent prospect
for a junior or amateur to bring along. He has no vices or issues at all and gets along
well with others. If you're looking for a beautiful, talented hunter prospect with a
fantastic mind to boot, don't overlook this lovely 2 yo who will be ready to ride in no
time!

"Finn" is yet another fabulous product of our star broodmare, Injoy, who has produced
several Hunter Breeding champions (the oldest just now of riding age), most recently
"Decadence", who can be seen below, who finished Champion Zone 2 and 5th in the
Nation in the Yearling division for 2009! Finn is very classy and elegant type, with a
lovely frame, tremendous topline and a gorgeous face. He is a very fancy, elastic
hunter type mover, which is not surprising, given his parents are both lovely. One of
Joy's previous offspring has even been called "the best mover I've ever seen" by a
renowned hunter breeding judge! Finn surely will be at the top of any hack class and
is big and fancy enough to show on the line like his siblings. He is very correct, well
proportioned, and has a nice medium weight of bone. His temperament is just terrific;
he is very laid back, easy to handle and train, and not at all sensitive, taking
everything in stride. All of Joy's foals have had this wonderful attitude and stellar
disposition which is part of what makes her so valuable to our program. Finn is her 5th
foal and has proven to exude all of the qualities we have come to know her to pass
reliably. Furst Impression is a best kept secret of hunter stallions, having shown
successfully in the hunters at WEF last year, he has a wonderful jump, is a hack
winner as well with a particularly phenomenal canter. Joy has an insanely good canter
also, and was in training to be a Small Junior hunter when she was injured. Finn's
canter is outstanding as we expected, big, slow and complete with a great natural
change. Even though he is by far fancy enough for a professional, his temperament
makes him well suited for a first-time foal owner, amateur or junior (all his siblings have
gone to first-timers :)). We expect him to mature to about 16.1-16.2h. Don't miss out
on this one, as all of Joy's foals have sold quickly to show homes and we know this one
will go fast too! Price flexible to competitive home in particular, but a loving home is
most important, of course.

** NEWSFLASH! Avery is only one of 11 fillies in the entire country (and Canada)
to receive a score of 8.2 or higher on the RPSI tour this year!!! ** If you're looking
for something truly exceptional, look no further! This coming 2 yo filly is one of our
finest to date and really just outstanding. In his first foal crops, Apiro has proven to
stamp his offspring with many wonderful qualities, and "Avery" surely shares his good
looks, expression, lovely movement and has a precocious and sweet disposition.
Avery is a very modern but classic hunter type, and results from the desirable WB and
TB cross. Don't let this fool you though, she is JUST as nice as any foal from even an
imported WB mare. Honey has now proven to be an exceptional producer, though has
managed to avoid reproducing her dilute coloring - which, of course, is not our focus,
but would be neat! - for the third time now, however, we are most pleased with this
classy bay filly. She is GORGEOUS, with a strong, beautiful swan-like topline, and
very straight legs and correct gaits. While Honey was always a hack winner (she won
the Young Hunters U/S at Devon in 2004 as a matter of fact), Apiro brought much
more elasticity, scope and freedom, making Avery a freakish, lofty mover and a nice
improvement on her dam, as was the intention. Despite Honey's fabulous show record
on the line and under saddle as well (prior to injury), her disposition has always been
one of her strong suits, and Avery is adorable, super smart, a quick learner and fun to
work with. She would be a great prospect to show on the line as well. Her type,
movement and conformation all suggest she would be a real success, and other Apiro
offspring are showing quite well across the country. The RPSI awarded her a Gold
Premium (8.2) and Site Champion - they also said it is so rare to find one with true
talent for all three rings like her. She is the real deal!!! She is 16h at 18 months, so
should easily mature to 16.3h+. As usual, price flexible to loving show home. Price will
continue to increase to reflect her quality as she develops. Don't miss her... this one
is your six figure horse someday.

"Dorothy" is a breathtaking doll of a filly, not only stunning to look at, exquisite and
elegant in type with a beautiful head and topline plus correct conformation, and a
fabulous, elastic hunter type mover, but her disposition is to die for. She is quietly
inquisitive, super friendly and very in-your-pocket. Easy, easy, easy to work with and
would be well suited for a first-time foal handler, amateur or junior, yet she has all the
quality that a professional could ask for. She prefers people to horses and is a total
love, and will follow you around the stall or field for hugs and kisses! She truly has the
best disposition of any foal we have ever bred. Our foals are always wonderful and
quiet but she is above and beyond. You have to see her to believe it! We have
intended her for the hunters given her amazing looks, conformation, fancy movement
and wonderfully quiet demeanor. Her dam is an imported Hanoverian mare who had a
successful show hunter herself and has produced previous offspring now entering the
hunter ring with great success, and her sire, Rubignon, has shown great jumping
talent, scoring 9's on his jumping in his stallion test, plus also has several offspring
showing well in the hunters already. However, she also has wonderful dressage
breeding and could easily be a star in that arena as well. She should be versatile and
athletic with the talent and disposition to go in any direction you choose. Her dam is a
solid 16.3h and Rubignon stands 16.2h, and she stands over 16.1h at 20 months, so
we expect her to mature to 16.3h or so. She is a tall, good sized filly but very
harmonious and balanced. There is nothing to complain about here! She is quite
special and will steal your heart right away, guaranteed! Due to no fault of her own,
Dorothy is again offered for sale. New pics and video coming soon.

"Daisy" is really something else!! We have wanted to try this cross for many years and
finally got the chance, and are very, very pleased with the results! This ultra fancy,
delicate filly has a stunning head with big eyes and looks as though she were made
from porcelain with attention to every detail, right down to her perfectly matched hind
socks! Her conformation is correct and athletic with great balance, and she is a truly
fantastic hunter mover - pretty darn close to a 10!! - which we have all come to expect
from Don Alfredo. Subrette was always the hack winner, very flat kneed and dainty, so
the recipe here is a success! Daisy has a particularly lovely canter as well - big, lopey,
cadenced and flat kneed. The PERFECT hunter canter if you've ever seen one! She
loves to jump anything in sight; hay piles, weeds, feed buckets, you name it. It is just
so natural for her, there is no question she possesses a lot of ability. Daisy has a
darling disposition that is starting to shine now as she learns about her new world.
This is a super, super filly. Her temperament is really lovely, very settled and friendly!
She will make a great junior or amateur's horse just like Don Alfredo is known for
producing. She was awarded Silver Premium (7.7 overall) at her RPSI inspection,
despite the disadvantage of being just 6 weeks old. Video is available below including
the judges' positive comments. Subrette's 2009 Apiro colt was 2nd at Warrenton last
year in good company and this filly is easily just as nice. Don't miss out on this one,
she is perhaps her dam's last foal as she is 20 this year! This filly just gets nicer and
nicer as she develops so look for a price increase soon. Weaned and ready to go!

even at only a few days old is proving to be quite the mover as well. Lots of lift in front
but the wonderful flat knee and reach we were hoping for as well. Eve has a HUGE,
slow canter that seems to defy gravity, with lots of "jump", cadence and extreme
balance. She has a lovely head and topline and stands very correct. Her dam is
jumper bred to the hilt - many of the most famous names and known hunter producers
like Zeus (Alla C'zar), Gepard (All the Gold, Gonzo I), Argentinus (Apiro), Furioso II
(Voltaire), and the list goes on. Actually, a good deal of her ancestry was known for
equal talent in jumping as well as dressage! Eve is bred to be an athlete, no matter
what the discipline, but combined with the rideability and elegance that Harvard has
been proven to pass, with a touch of great TB blood, this filly is a pure recipe for
success in the hunter ring. Harvard offspring are highly sought after for their beauty,
quality, talent, movement and temperament, and this filly displays all of these attributes
and more. Her disposition is truly exceptional like all of Joy's previous babies (Eve is
#6!), who have all gone to juniors or amateurs. Eve would also be an extremely
valuable broodmare one day, and since fertility is heritable, it should be noted that her
dam has conceived first try upon each breeding ever attempted. Joy has been one of
our absolute best producers and every one of her foals has sold quickly, with several
excelling quite impressively on the line to National titles, and entering the show ring
now, so don't miss out on this superb quality filly! Conservative price is subject to
increase with development.

"Tug" is simply exquisite, hard to take your eyes of off - his spectacular face, about as
pretty as you could ask for, is only the first thing you notice about this very fancy colt.
He is gorgeous and refined, and even appointed with a bit of chrome! Tug already
has a fantastic canter that looks made for the hunter ring; slow, rocking-horse and with
a long reach and perfect rhythm. His trot is elastic, flat kneed and well suited for the
hunter ring as well. Similarly to Eve, we have blended dressage and jumper pedigrees
with a drop of TB blood to create the perfect formula for a lovely show hunter. Tug's
dam, "Abby", brings to the table solid old jumping blood from Winnetou West,
Ferdinand, and Der Lowe xx, and then classic American sport TB blood from Nearco
xx, War Admiral xx and Hyperion xx. Domiro adds the dressage talents of the famous
Donnerhall and Pik Bube, but also adds even more jump from Ramiro Z, and Der Lowe
xx again. The TB blood comes through in Tug's modern type and apparent
athleticism. He has a wonderful disposition though, and is very easy and willing. Abby
has been a stellar producer, having an AHS Elite daughter to her credit and many
offspring who have competed successfully in rated hunters, dressage and in-hand!
Tug has a very bright future and is Abby's only colt to date out of 6 foals, and due to
her advancing age he is likely her last. He is a VERY promising line contender if you
choose, prior to his riding career. Conservatively priced and subject to increase.
