Salvador
Congratulations to Mike and Diane Richard on their purchase of Salvador (Schwarzenegger/Certus/Welfenschatz). Salvador is a 2014 HV gelding that has the most trusting personality, and is beautifully put together. We are excited to follow him with the Richards as they work towards the hunter ring. Sold to Fredericton, NB.
Atlanta
A big congratulations to Lisa and Rachel on their purchase of Atlanta (Autocrat/Warkanson/Lucid/Wendekreis). Atlanta is a 2009 HV mare we bred on the farm, she is the dam of Solara (Schwarzenegger), and Belfast (Bonheur). For those that enjoy the damlines, Wargana/Lugana/Wanda. This is so neat and I am very happy for all involved.

Hanoverian filly born June 1st, 2014
Safira (Schwarzenegger/World Cup IV/Matcho AA). By Schwarzenegger and out of EM Werra.
This feminine filly is so sweet! She is uphill and elastic showing a super overtrack at the walk, quite a bit of knee and hock action at the trot, and an exuberant canter that looks very comfortable. I suspect she would be suitable as either a dressage horse or a jumper.

Hanoverian Gelding (Schwarzenegger/Landkonig/Diamont/Irepeat xx)
Lantina x Schwarzenegger. Hunter/Jumping/Eventing/Dressage
SOLD to New Brunswick. Congratulations to Matthew and Jessica Straight and family.
With these bloodlines this two year old gelding should be as dual-purpose as they come. Lantina has super hunter movement and a great jump, which she comes by from her sire Landkonig and her dam DJannon (a lovely Diamont mare that showed at 3rd level, won horse of the year in combined training in Idaho, and scored an overall 8 at her inspection). Lantina's mind is top notch, she is as sweet as can be, and gives you total trust in everything you ask of her. Schwarzenegger is my dream horse, with such a super mind, dual-talent, and beauty. Schwarzenegger's dam was bred to Landadel (sire of Landkoenig) several times to produce licensed jumper stallions and top producing mares. Available to a fantastic home and expected to finish around 16.2hh.

June 18th, 2013 Black Hanoverian Colt
This big fellow looks like black beauty, with gorgeous markings and size he will be hard to miss in his beautiful black wrapper. Personality plus with dynamic gaits, this fellow will steal your heart. I expect him to finish ~16.3hh and see definite dual-purpose ability.

June 17th, 2013 black Hanoverian colt (Rubignon/Landkonig/Diamont)
This lovely colt is sweet and personable and should finish 16.2hh+. "Reco" as he is called around the barn, has breathtaking movement, a big canter, and super super trot with an evenness that is very impressive. His hocks are like big pistons firing him forward, he is pretty fun and if we were in the market for another stallion this would likely be it.

Marina-SOLD. Congratulations to Leslie Melvin of Hartland, NB on her purchase. Hope to see you two at island shows :)
(My Imperial Slew xx/Lucid/Wendekreis)
2009 American Hanoverian Society COP 16.1hh.
Super sweet and outgoing mare that is a dressage horse through and through. She is one of the top movers on the farm among a strong group of mover and shakers. Marina was lightly started under saddle spring 2012 prior to being bred, she is light and forward and is very very nice.
Marina's dam Lugana was successfully evented in Ontario before being retired into breeding. Marina's sire was a successful track winner that went on to stand at an eventing barn.
Several other siblings out of Lugana have gone on to do well in the performance arena (such as the hunter named "Manhattan", the up and coming versatile "Wargana", the dressage/hunter mare "Wyonya", and a broodmare named "Elaina" that produced the 2006 Grand Champion mare at the Royal Winter Fair and a CWBHA stallion later bought by Eric Lamaze.)
Sangria-SOLD. Congratulations to Leslie Melvin of Hartland, NB on her purchase.

Day 1: http://youtu.be/aa1piNj56LI Day 4: http://youtu.be/4HcvJ8yxtug
For those that have seen Marina and Schwarzenegger move, here is a super filly. Sangria has a lovely temperment and is friendly and outgoing. Her movement is a joy to watch: her walk is long and ground covering, her trot is expressive with a great deal of knee and hock action, and her canter is so adjustible-going from a canter pirouette to a big uphill stride. She is so balanced! Her changes come so naturally.
Sangria's conformation is spot on, with a beautiful head and expression, a super topline, and an engine of a hindquarter.
Marina's dam Lugana is from the Hanoverian mareline 1187603 Nordenburg - Becker, Voigtding (Neuhaus), it has produced many super dressage horses. Marina is the last foal out of Lugana, and has many successful maternal siblings.
Sangria is a stunning bay filly with star, connected stripe, snip, and 3 white socks.
This is a filly that someone will treasure.

Solara: SOLD to Bonnie Zabirka of Ontario, congratulations!
August 2nd, 2012 Hanoverian filly. (Schwarzenegger/Autocrat/Warkanson/Lucid/Wendekreis)
Atlanta x Schwarzenegger. Dressage:
Video: http://youtu.be/BzKQtA3NsGQ
Solara's movement is very strong with superb basic gaits. She is very very conformationally correct. This filly is so personable and sweet with so much presence. When comparing photos of Schwarzenegger as a foal, Solara looks just like him. I can't say enough good things about this zesty filly, with her high set neck and beautifully expressive face-she will steal your heart. She will be black/brown and does not carry a red gene. Solara's dam Atlanta is an elegant, refined mare with an outstanding trot and super jump. Atlanta's sire Autocrat is a successful PSG dressage horse and her dam Wargana is doing well in a hunter/eventing home. The dam line has produced several competitive offspring from hunters to dressage horses known for their rideability and great minds. Atlanta is a laid back mare that you can rev up and bring right back down. She loves people and is another one that will try anything you ask of her. Schwarzenegger is my dream horse, with such a super mind, dual-talent, and beauty. With these two as parents, Solara is set to do great things.
Solara will make somebody very happy and is expected to finish 16.1hh.

Free Verse Alleluia-SOLD
Congratulations to Dr.Susi Spicer DVM on her purchase of Allie, I am looking forward to progress reports :)
2002 registered Trakehner Mare, approved for breediung by the German Hanoverian Verband. By Feuertanzer out of a Kalluster/Donauwind mare.
Round Robin: Sold Congratulations to Marlene Snyder of Nova Scotia, we wish her all the best and look forward to visiting her and Robin from time to time!
Round Robin- Dark Brown Registered Hanoverian Gelding 16.3 hh DOB May 2006.
Robin's pedigree includes some of the great dressage horses Rotspon (Rubinstein)/Don Gregory (Donnerhall)/Brentano II (Bolero). His dam line is strong as well, his dam St.Pr. Desiree is a third generation States Premium mare. She produced one filly in Germany that did very well in the foal show, and two colts in Canada that sold to dressage stables in California.
Robin's movement was the buying point for me as he was/is simply beautiful. All three basic gaits are far above average. He has a great front end and alot of reach from behind. His canter is very interesting as he can really sit showing a tremendous natural ability to collect but still has super extension. His uphill build and natural freedom makes for quite the picture. Best of all, his temperment. He is well worth a second look as he is VERY quiet, easy to work with, and affectionate.
Wargana-Sold- Congratulations to Chloe and Vicki of Moncton, NB on their purchase of Wargana. I am looking forward to seeing how they progress and wish them all the best in the future.
Wargana
Registered, branded, and approved Main Studbook Hanoverian mare (Warkanson/Lucid/Wendekreis). DOB April 2004. She stands 15.2 hh, though out of a 16.1 1/2hh dam and a 16.2hh sire. Flashy and personable, with the sweetest temperment under saddle. Wargana is refined and well-proportioned with hunter-type movement. She occasionally shows a flash of brilliance at liberty with a beautiful suspended trot that snaps up her knees and hocks and just seems to hover. She shows much promise for what she could be with more training.
Her pedigree is quite versatile as her dam Lugana was a successful eventer before being retired into breeding (see mare's page). There are several other siblings out of Lugana that have gone on to do well in the performance arena as well as the breeding shed. ex: Manhattan (hunter gelding) who is owned by the Driscolls, Wyonya (dressage mare) who is owned by the Tweels, and Elaina (successful broodmare that produced the 2006 Grand Champion mare at the Royal Winter Fair and a CWBHA stallion later bought by Eric Lamaze) who was owned by Sylvia Dickson.
About her sire: "Warkanson is a modern Hanoverian Stallion with excellent conformation and elegant movement. His world-renowned bloodlines gave him the genetics to show natural talent for all disciplines. Warkanson's sire Warkant earned the prestigious award of "Hanoverian Stallion of the Year 2002" due to the outstanding performance of his offspring at the highest level of dressage (eg. Wahajama Unicef ridden by Ann-Kathrin Linsenhoff). Warkanson's dam sire, Esprit became famous through producing many internationally competitive jumpers (eg. E.T. ridden by Hugo Simon). Warkanson was imported to Canada (1998) after completing the 11-Month Performance Test in Adelheidsdorf, Germany, successfully with an index of 104.7 pts; equally strong in dressage and jumping. He is one of only four stallions in all of Western Canada approved for breeding by the German Hanoverian Association, the association with the strictest selection protocol worldwide. After standing six years at stud in Canada, it is obvious that Warkanson's foals inherit his wonderful movement and temperament. Every year they achieve top placings at Foal Futurities, CSH as well as CWBH (eg. Lostris- CSH Champion Alberta 2000 and Wyman - CWB Champion 2001 Alberta South). In 2003 his first offspring collected ribbons and championships in a variety of show rings: dressage, hunter, jumper, and also eventing. For example, the Warkanson offspring Wurlitzer (Lind Poulsen), was titled Grand Champion Jumper-Dressage Suitability by the B.C. Chapter Breeders Classic Results." © Equitop Farm
With Wargana's multi-purpose bloodlines she could easily be directed in her rider's preferred discipline.
Wargana produced a beautiful black filly named Atlanta on May 6th 2009! The sire, Autocrat, an approved 16.3hh Hanoverian stallion can be seen at Crooked Creek/Woodhaven Farms http://www.mts.net/~woodhave/. The filly was branded and registered with the German Hanoverian Society.
MSB Lugana-SOLD
Lugana- 1987 Main Studbook Hanoverian mare 168 cm. Black with small star, and short rear sock.
(Lucid/Wendekreis/Waidmannsdank xx).
Lugana was successful evented before being retired after injury into breeding. She has produced several successful Hanoverian offspring by stallions such as Elute, Rodero, Mattgold, 3 Fillies by Warkanson, Royal Prince, and a 2009 filly by a Thrbd stallion "My Imperial Slew".
