Rebaβs brand new arrival, fresh out of the oven - Sullivan EP (Sully).
Sylvette EP (Sylvie) born at 2am on Friday the 17th of December 2021, by our exciting young stallion Swayze EP (Swarovski/Dream Boy/Allermund) and out of the lovely Thoroughbred mare Rippedeedoodah (Rip Van Winkle/Diamond Express/Kaapstad(Sir Tristram).
Swayze EP - By the elegant imported, Oldenburg stallion Swarovski (Sandro Hit/Don Gregory/Rubinstein) and out of the premium and performance tested Hanoverian mare, Just a Dream TP (Dream Boy/Allermund). Admired by everyone who meets him, this pink papered Hanoverian combines type, temperament and rideability on both sides of his pedigree. Along with elegance, elasticity, willingness and exceptional confirmation. Bodhi has all the trimmings for a highly competitive future in dressage with a laid back demeanour that makes him a pleasure to work with in any sphere. Whether it be trying his hand at disciplines outside of the sandpit or hacking out with friends at the beach or forrest - he has that holy grail of temperaments that will do it all.
Rippedeedoodah - by Rip Van Winkle out of a Diamond Express/Kaapstad(Sir Tristram) mare. Reba is an excellent example of what a Thoroughbred can add to Warmblood breeding. Being an athletic type and possessing the boldness of an event horse - helping to add versatility to Swayze EP's dressage pedigree. Paired with a kind, quiet and obliging temperament.

At only 2 days old Bodhi's unflappable, easy going nature already shines through in little Sylvie ...perhaps a little too unfazed by the world around her π₯π¬
Christmas came early with the safe arrival of Reba's little Swayze EP filly, Sylvette EP. Born at 2am on Friday the 17th of December. It was a long, wet night in the paddock for me but Reba did a fabulous job with a textbook delivery and the foal was quick to get to her feet and start feeding (fillies are so much brighter than c**ts π€¦ββοΈ). Reba has proven herself to be the most wonderful mum and both her and little Sylvie are happy, healthy and doing well.

Swayze EP (aka Bodhi). By the elegant imported, Oldenburg stallion Swarovski (Sandro Hit/Don Gregory) and out of the premium and performance tested Hanoverian mare, Just a Dream TP (Dream Boy/Allermund). Combining type, temperament and rideability on both sides of his pedigree. Along with elegance, elasticity, willingness and correct type. Bodhi has all the trimmings for a highly competitive future in dressage.
Swarovski - As the first Reserve Champion of the 2006 Oldenburg licensing and winner of the dressage section, this high gloss black stallion exudes elegance and elasticity. Paired with his exceptional pedigree, Swarovski has been branded "one of those stallions to kill for in Germany". The potential of his gaits and rideability can only be defined as the ultimate. After a very good 30-day test in Neustadt/Dosse in 2007, Swarovski took his 70-day test at the same venue in 2008, finishing third in a very strong field of competitors. In sport he won and placed with the best in tests for young riding horses. He also won many elementary (L) tests for young dressage horses, achieved high placings at medium level and is now trained up to advanced level.
Just a Dream TP -Lily is by Dream Boy. The imported son of the legendary sire, Dream of Glory. At his performance testing at Adelheidstorf in 1998 Dream Boy scored 9's for his character, temperament, rideability and type. Lily's exceptional temperament is complemented by excellent conformation, fluidity and elevation in all basic gaits and a big swinging walk. She scored highly across the board during her mare assessment and after completing her performance test was mere decimals shy of receiving elite status.
Levingston EP (Levi). Bay c**t, born at 11:45pm on the 11th of January 2019.

Born on the 1st of October 2017. Finlay is by the exceptional and widely admired, imported Hanoverian stallion, Worldly (Weltmeyer/Brentano ll). Out of the sensational pink papered, Hanoverian mare, Akvavit V (Anamour/Dynamit/Witzbold/Winnebago).
Worldly - this outstanding stallion is the epitome of presence and nobility. Passing on his exceptional temperament, rideability and movement to his progeny. Not only did Worldly gain first place in the dressage section at his performance test in 2000, with a remarkable score of 143.20 but he was also overall Reserve Champion due to a relatively high score in the jumping section as well. He received 8βs for character and conformation and 9βs for temperament and willingness to perform. He gained an outstanding 10 for rideability and trot, 8 for walk and 9.33 for gallop. He moreover won the Championβs Prize of the Riding Horses at the indoor tournament in Bremen in 2001. He was a highly placed finalist at the World Championship of six-year-old dressage horses in Verden in 2003, after winning numerous conformation show classes and dressage horse tests. This was followed by placements in starts in the intermediate (M/A) and advanced (S) classes in 2004. Worldly is a great improver in dressage ability and conformation.

Dam of the GP Showjumping stallion, Vollrath Chagall. AK has proven herself to be a producer of talent, as well as versatility.
Finlay (rising 2yo) and Levi (4 months)... bit of an alarming height comparison π¬ π
Winter woolies all round - Bodhi, Levi and Finlay π§£
Bodhi thinks back scratches in bed are so nice that he just might like to roll over and have his belly rubbed too - bit big to be a lap dog sorry little dude π€¦ββοΈ
