That’s exciting! How was the semen?

Depends on when it was collect…
I have used him in the past and the semen was excellent. The semen Nijhof sent last year I was not impressed with and was not surprised my mare never got in foal with it. So this year they made sure they sent better doses…and they did! :slight_smile:

We had a great vet day today. Three of our very last ones for the season checked in foal (one of them has been a huge problem this year) and confirmed on a 4th that one of her twins had reduced. Totally GONE. :smiley:

Wild Dance x Rouletto?Akzent II

Just got to see our little black dot yesterday for our Rouletto/Akzent II Mare in foal to Wild Dance…looking forward to seeing the cross next year!!

Rhumba ster, in foal to Sir Gregory. This is the third time i have used this cross, and love it! And 18 year-old Never Say Never, keur preferent, in foal to Banderas, another repeat cross for the third time.

We have our fourth pregnancy! SPS Wega has been confirmed in foal to Ruiz Soler :slight_smile: We’ll be breeding one more this week…fingers crossed all goes well!

Thank you to Jennifer Holder of Third Charm Eventing for allowing us to lease her former Intermediate level eventing partner, Bolivia. “Livi” is a great mare and she is now 15 days in foal to Landkoenig! Thank you to Edgar for being so great to work with. We are so excited to have our own black dot!

I have 2 so far -

Sangrita (Stedinger/Prince Thatchxx) is in foal to Dante Weltino

EM Dallara (DaCaprio/Wolkenstein II) is in foal to Fidertanz

Another to add. :slight_smile:
Zavall VDL, bred to Ulottie. A repeat of this year’s nice filly.

I have to say I am envious you are in foal in Landkoenig! He was high on my list and after meeting Edgar a couple weeks ago (and Landkoenig!) I was slightly kicking myself I didn’t go with him after my failed first attempt at breeding since my mare was having a pretty strong reaction to frozen and with Landkoenig would have had fresh.

However just found out this after noon my mare took on the second try! So excited. We bred her to Imothep and I can’t wait to see the baby!

Really excited to have a successful embryo transfer by Capone I (Contender/Ladalco) and out of my very special mare, Erotika (Cor de la Bryere/Rigoletto). Getting an embryo from this mare was a long time coming and we are so happy the cute little recipient mare is doing her job so well! We needed good quality fresh from a stallion close by and Capone’s owner, Corinne Super, was incredibly generous and helpful.

Also bred Caritas N (Calido/Alcatraz) to Dakota VDL (Casall/Contender) this week. All looked good so fingers crossed! We needed fresh for this mare this year as well so thank you to Hyperion Stud for donating to the AHHA SSA, we were very happy to purchase the breeding!

My mare, Larosa Z (Louis/Lavado), is leased to a friend for a custom foal and was bred to Epsom Gesmeray (Jalisco B/Starter). Pregnancy check coming this week.

Sounds like some excellent crosses coming next year. My season has been a bit rocky, but yesterday I had Contessa (Contendro / Eiger / Wenzel) confirmed in foal to Sezuan. My Fernet Branca (Furioso) mare, whom I am hoping to sell, is confirmed to Diamond Stud for next May,
I tried again this past week with Sir Gregory on my Espri mare, and will do a last effort this coming week on my Don Bosco / Prince Orac xx mare - frozen, still slightly undecided on sire.

Wow, Sezuan x Contessa should be awesome!

I’m one for two!
My TB (Storm Cat x Cox Ridge x Grey Dawn) has been confirmed to be in foal to Bon Balou. However, my Oldenburg (Calypso II x Roi Dagobert x On and On) bred to Imothep didn’t take :no:

I have one last mare who will be bred next week so fingers crossed that she has no issues. Than I’m done for this year & can start planning next year.

I think just one coming for me next year - Cuba (Continue/Weinberg/Pilot) confirmed in foal to LaMarque (Lansing/Lord Calando/Ahorn). Saw a heartbeat last week!

Our Federweisser/Weltruhm mare was confirmed in foal yesterday to Sir Wanabi! Really looking forward to seeing this foal. After a lovely chestnut colt out of this mare by a black stallion last year I’m hoping for a keeper filly, and not upset that I’ll have a guaranteed black this year. :wink:

:yes::yes::yes:

Some fantastic crosses, Leah! Please post pics of your Capone baby when it arrives! Love Epsom Gesmeray, and I’m also a fan of Dakota, I can’t wait to watch how his offspring turn out! All three are potentially on my list for my Rocadero/Loutano mare. Sounds like you will have some impressive foals next year! :yes:

Can I have some jingles for tomorrow’s vet appointment? Checking out Tripolis (Candi’s Gold X Sewing Derby-Master Derby) in foal to Sempatico! I’m off schedule due to holiday week/vet vacation (! shame on me!) so I do know she has not teased back in heat…
