Again an exciting year is almost gone. We
are looking back to plenty of beautiful but also very sad moments. In 2012
we will for the first time in many years expect no new foals, we are
looking forward to a hopefully quite and a little bit more relaxing
year than the last one was.
Wir
wünschen allen ein frohes und erholsames Weihnachtsfest und alles
Gute für das Neue Jahr 2011

Jul och Ett Gott Nytt År! Hyvaa joulua! Fröhliche Weihnachten!
Merry Christmas and a happy new year! Prettige Kerstmis!Gelukkig

Hilltop Don Rodrigo by Donquestador x Goliante by Telstar (Breeder Ruud Wolters)
under the saddle of Claudia Montanari, Italy has several times this
year achieved high placings in Grand Prix competitions. Don Rodrigo
was auctioned by the PSI at a high price and participated 2004
successfully at the Bundeschamionat as a five year old. His mother Goliante
is also mother of the successful Grand Prix horse and approved
stallion Del Vento. She is half-sister to Lacoriantes
mother Foliante, proving again the dressage potential of this mother
line.

European Championship Four-in-Hand
Driving
Beginning September the european Four-in-hand Driving
championships took place in Breda. Frederik Persson from Sweden
finished 3rd with his national team. For many years part of the
successful team as one of the leading horses: Radazzo. Born in
1999 out of Foliante (Sultan x Heidelberg) is he the half brother of
Lacoriante, one of our breeding mares. Persson also achieved an
impressive 5th place in the individual competition. In 2010 he
already achieved a fantastic 8th place at world horse games in
Kentucky. |

KWPN-Paardendagen 2011 News about
Connaisseur, sire of Sadiras (Show Star x Florestan) little colt.
The four year old stallion by Con Amore x Donnerhall achieved in the
Netherlands a great third place in the final of the prestigeous Pavo
Cup. The Pavo Cup consists of a semi final and two final rounds
including a test by two guest riders. Guest judge Claudia Rüscher
gave Connaisseur a 9,5 (her second best score of the day) and
praised especially his fantastic galopp and his walk.

New pictures of our little colt trio: Casadeur
(Connaisseur x Show Star), Belancor
(Belissimo M x Lacoro), Romadero ( Real
Diamond x Belissimo M) |
| 04.05.2011

|
Connaisseur (Con Amore x Donnerhall), sire
of Sadiras now 10 days old foal, has been accepted for breeding by the
Dutch KWPN society following the 50 days performance test in
Stegeren. He has achieved a very good result with 82,5 points,
no mark lower than 8,0. The final test report highlights his
rideability and his strong, room winning galopp. Our foal is
one of the first of this young promising stallion who is already
approved by the Westfalian society in Germany, in Belgium and in
Sweden. |

What a surprise...the last foal for this
year is again a little colt, that makes it three in a row! Lacoriante
has, against our real expectation, fullfilled our christmas wish (see
below) and delivered this time a colt by Belissimo M. The 'little'
guy was in fact already quite tall when he was born, he is fit and
lively. The little white star he has got must be a special greeting
by Belissimo M since Lacoriantes foals usually show hardly any
markings. The name of our youngest Belissimo son is Belancor.
Pictures will follow soon! |
| 24.04.2011

|
Finally!...19 days after the calculated
date, around lunch time on Easter-Sunday, has Sadira
finally given birth to her second foal. As expected is the little
stallion blackbrown with only a little bit white on two hoofs. More
surprising was the furry winter coat he put on for his great
appearance, maybe that's what caused the delay. His sire is Connaisseur
( Con Amore x Donnerhall), who is currently participating in the
KWPN stallion performance test after he had already been approved in
Germany (Westfalen), Sweden and Belgium. Our little stallion is one
of the first foals of this young stallion. More information and
later also some pictures can be found here. |
| 20.04.2011

|
After we have been waiting several days
for Sadira to foal, now 15 days over the calcultated date, it was Bella
Fortunas foal giving us a big surprise this morning. The
little guy was obviously very eager to come into the world and enjoy
the beautiful sunny easter-days at his mothers side. The little
brown stallion by Real Diamond is very lively and obviously
determined to conquer the world without any delay. He is remarkably
trusting and self-confident, very interested to make contact. Bella
Fortuna is a very prudent but also quite relaxed mother although
this is her first foal. Pictures will
follow soon. |
| 20.12.2010

|
Again a very exciting year comes to an end and as always we are
already very curiously looking forward to the next generation of
foals in 2011. We expect Lacoriantes second foal by Belissimo M (maybe
a little colt this time?), finally Sadiras second foal, after she
was so unlucky with her first foal, this time by Connaisseur and
especially exciting the very first foal of Bella Fortuna by Real
Diamond.
We wish
everybody a very Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year
2011!

On the 5th of December took the yearly
club championship of Göteborgs Fältriddklubb place.
Josefin Tuvestad and Calitano (Cardento
x Ekstein) won the style jumping competition in the class for tall
horses. We believe this is a wonderful finish for the year and
congratulate the new club champion! We are certain there will be
more good news from this lovely pair in 2011. |

German Breeding Value Index 2010
As a little surprise even before christmas came the announcement
of the German Equestrian Federation that Real Diamond
(Rohdiamant x Weltmeyer) leads the 2010 German Breeding Value Index
Dressage. In his first breeding years only restrainedly used and not
much promoted he came back into the public gaze in 2008 due to some
really impressive three year old's out of a very small first crop of
foals. With a breeding value index of 173 points he has now really
started over. In addition to his outstanding dressage pedigree he
now delivers more and more prove of his own genetic heridity. We are
quite happy about this success since we are convinced of his quality.
After all he would otherwise not have passed the very tough
selection criteria to become Bella Fortunas
first breeding partner. It will not come as a surprise that we
can't wait to see this foal!

World Horse Games 2010
Fredrik Persson (Sweden) achived in
Lexington, Kentucky a fantastic 8th place at the World Four-in-Hand
Driving Championships. One of the horses in his successful team was Radazzo (Ragazzo x
Foliante,
Breeder Ruud Wolters), half-brother of our broodmare Lacoriante.
Radazzo has been competing in Frederik Perssons team since 2006 and
was the most successful driving horse bred in NRW in 2007.

Bundeschampionat 2010
Lissaro van de Helle
made quite clear that he was aiming for his third title when he
finished the qualification with an outstanding mark of 9,2. Finally
he completed his mission with an impressive and cool as always
appearance in the final of the 5 year old dressage horses. He is the
first horse ever that receives three Bundeschampion titles.
Pictures of the final can be found here: Lissiante

Nine days before the calculated day gave Floriante
birth to a filly by the twofold Bundeschampion Lissaro van de
Helle. Only three days earlier qualified Lissaro for the
Bundeschampionat 2010 for 5y.o. dressagehorses. Lissiante,
who had a rather difficult first day, is now a very lively foal
getting out and about at Floriantes side discovering the world. Her
markings are clearly not influenced by Lissaro, she only has a very
small star, nothing else. We certainly hope that she has inherited
even more of Lissaros outstanding double talent for dressage and
jumping! Pictures will follow soon. |

Cinderella
gave birth to her third foal
from the danish stallion of the year 2009 Don Romantic.
Surprise, surprise... it is a filly! This is the fifth filly in a
row for Cinderella. The little lady named Dirabella
is brown with a big white star
and a fine line that ends wide between the nostrils. Like all of
Cinderella's foals she also has one white hindleg. She is quite big
and needs to unfold a little bit. We are
very happy about an easy birth and a healthy foal knowing that this
should not be taken for granted. Just in case Cinderella would
consider to present us a little colt next time... no objection from
our side! :-). |

The
first foal for this year is Welticas
second son by Belissimo M. This time her foal comes in a
chestnut jacket and stunning markings very much alike his father.
Maybe there is also an eye-catching liverchestnut hidden underneath
his foal coat, wait and see.
His impressive dressage pedigree speaks for itself. We are very much
looking forward to follow his development but for the time being he
can enjoy his time playing with the other foals and discovering the
world. More information and pictures will follow soon. |

Today three year old Bella
Fortuna (Belissimo M x Casaretto) passed her mares
performance test with a great total mark of 8,0. She once again
displayed her potential and has been awarded the title state premium
mare. She has now earned a quite and relaxing winter period before
she will gain some experience in her first youngster competitions. |
| 05.08.2009

|
On the 5th of August the Elite Mares Show
of the Rhinish Breeding Association took place. In the beautiful,
sunny park of the castle Wickrath the best three year old mares
where presented. Our Belissimo M daughter Bella Fortuna presented
herself with her typical charisma and presence not at all impressed
by the unfamiliar environment. She trotted with self confidence and
a lot of power in front of the commision being awarded with the
title State Premium Mare under the condition of a successful mares
performance test. |
| 19.07.2009

|
For an impressive fifth time Welticas
mother Cileste II by De Niro was able to present one of the ten best
foals at the German Foal Championship. In 2009 a filly by Sarkozy
received the title first reserve champion out of 94 fillies presented at
the final in Lienen. |

are in good health and enjoy very relaxed the first days together.

only very little help.

much looking forward to see the first movements of our new born
dressage offspring now called Beltano. |

...its a filly again! Tonight Lacoriante
has given birth to a dark brown filly, father is the successful
breeding stallion Belissimo M (Rheinland). She has
inherited the dark jacket Lacoriante gives to all of her foals and Belissimo
has painted a fine blaze into her very beautiful face. Belliante
needs to unfold a little bit more but what can be seen already is a
typefull foal with a very nice and big shoulder. |
| 09.04.2008

|
This morning Donauwelle
delivered just as ordered the long awaited filly by Calido I.
Carawelle looks a lot like her
older brother Cassido, she is bay
without markings, long-legged and well proportioned. She managed to
be up on her long but already straight and strong legs quite
quickly. Her first movements show three above average basic gaits. |
| 06.04.2008

|
Our second foal by Don Romantic (by
Don Schufro, Blue Hors) is the first foal for our young mare Sadira
by Show Star. The little bay colt has in Sadira a very caring and
attentive mother. He has inherited her beautiful face and her
friendly character. The little heartbreaker, named Devinio,
has been very trusting and cuddly from the first day on. His first
movements look quite promising. |

On the 31st of March at 11 pm Cinderella
gave birth to her third chestnut filly. Dariella's
father is the successful Danish stallion Don Romantic ( by
Don Schufro, Blue Hors). Just like her two half-sisters Dariella has
a beautiful face marked with a fine blaze and one half-white hind
foot. She is a charming and self confident little lady with already
very elegant movements. |

Only 48 hours after Acoriante's birth our second and last foal for
this year was born. Father of this filly is Contendro I , it
was brought into the world by Acoriantes grandmother Lacoriante.
The little girl named Cosmiante is dark brown and has two diagonal white feet. After
a lot of difficulties at the beginning to sort out these really long
legs and to navigate the right way to the first drink she could
finally go to sleep exhausted and well-fed.

It's
a girl! Last night at 1 o'clock Floriante
has given birth to her first foal, a lively filly. We have been
waiting for the next foal out of her mother Lacoriante but it looks
like Floriante was eager to be first. The birth was very quick
without complications. Little Acoriante
belongs to the first crop of foals of Acolord (Acorado) and
is as expected dark brown with hardly any white marks, only a few
white hairs on her forehead and a small white line on one hindleg.

Today our last foal for
this breeding season was born. After three fillys this year it is
a little stallion this time. Donauwelle
eventually gave birth to the most eagerly awaited foal from Calido I.
On first sight the little guy meets all of our expectations. He is
long-legged and well proportioned. His first movements let assume,
that our hope to receive a foal out of this combination with a lot
of jumping potential but also well above average gaits, will not be
dissapointed. The little cock of the walk is bay without markings
and his name is Cassido.

Today
Sadira successfully passed her mares performance test. On a
beautiful sunny day she mastered her first big challenge as cool as
always. Although her special talent is quite clearly dressage,
she achieved a very impressive 8.0 for her free jumping.
She finished the test with a total of 7.84.
|
| 06.06.2006

Since tonight Bella Mia has
a little full-sister. Cinderella's
youngest daughter from Belissimo M looks a lot
like her older sister and is also a chestnut. She is long- legged,
has a small blaze and a white hind foot. The little one surprised us
two weeks before the calculated date. She is well developed and
lively. We hope that her easy to remember birth date will bring her
good luck and named her Bella
Fortuna.

a bay filly from Royal Diamond.
It is her first foal and after a short period of unsureness on both
sides they are now
a very good team. One day old Rubinelle

very caring and watchful mother.
Rubinelle has a big white star and one white foot. |

Attracted
by the first sunny days our first foal of the year was born this
morning. It is a dark bay mare (no marking) from Danone I and Lacoriante.
The little lady is very self-confident and lively. She was up on her
long legs and had her first drink quite quickly no help needed.
Following the tradition of the dam´s line we named her Dahliante. |
