Maple foaled on May 11th, she was carrying a Rapture R x Darbee embryo transfer colt. He is beautiful, friendly, solid, correct and has a fantastic canter.

Foals are getting use to routine of haltering and being lead in and out for turnout.
Photo today of Raya (Rockefeller/Rienzi/Davignon) at Day 3.
I may have a type lol.

Many new photos and videos throughout the site. A very big thank you to my wonderful friends for all the help creating this media.
Micro had a perfect Echo and Holter on July 9th. She is scheduled to come in to heat in the next week or so. I am planning to breed her with frozen semen to Goro Extra Elite. For those interested please reach out. These will be high drive dogs best suited for sport or very active homes.
Black Friday sale on Hanoverian stallions Schwarzenegger (Sion/Calypso II/Graphit) and Dauphin (Donnerhall/Feiner Stern/Pik Ramiro). 400$ off per contract. For those that missed the first early bird sale, this is your opportunity to save by being prepared for the season.
Contracts and payment must be completed by midnight on November 29th, 2019.
Both stallions are N/N for WFFS.
We took the four mares and foals from the farm and were quite happy with the comments from the judges.
Dauphin had three stellar fillies at the show, with two being awarded Gold
Medal Foal status. One was our Aileron Stables’ bred filly Da Solstice (Dauphin/Weltruhm) now owned by Dr. Christine Stec. “Salsa” turned heads with her presence and correctness.
Steinway (Schwarzenegger/Brentano II) enjoyed cantering around the ring and not trotting lol. He is tall and lanky at this point in his growth and will make his owner Kenzie Cosman a super nice partner.
Delcina (Dauphin/Schwarzenegger) moved very well and was praised for her elasticity and range of movement. She is available.
Dryden (Don Martillo/Dauphin) was called a Powerhouse by Dr. Christmann and one to watch as dressage prospect. He is available.
A huge thank you to our team for hustling to make the show a success. Maria Richards, Willow M’Cloud, and Morgan Louis all did a great job handling in the ring and preparing horses through the day.
Leslie Melvin, and Amanda and Jonathan Stright for jumping in as needed. And of course my partner in crime Jason Acorn that did everything else, he was as can do as can be and was a great facilitator for the day including hauling all our mares and foals.
Feel very fortunate to have two stallions in the barn that are on the Top Lists for the Hanoverian Verband.
Schwarzenegger on the top list of Jumper producers and Dauphin on the top list for producing Type. 2019 Hanoverian Yearbook.
These lists are important to showcase what older stallions are producing by evaluating daughters during inspection and their mare performance tests. It gives a tip to the breeders of the positive attributes these stallions are reliably passing on.
Including Schwarzenegger and Dauphin, there are less then 5 stallions that stand with fresh in North America on those lists.
Schwarzenegger was bred by Axel and Martina Windeler and is owned by Aileron Stables. Dauphin is bred and owned by Marefield Meadows, and leased for breeding to Aileron Stables.
Hoping for many more seasons with these wonderful producers.

All recovered from a great adventure from Jan 14th-26th. Jason and I took Day Dreamer (Dauphin/Weltruhm/Donnerhall) down to his new home in Florida to Anna Toomey, Dr. Christine Stec, and Dr. Brian Ausman. Lucky Day Dreamer joins his big brother Deuce (Dancier/Weltruhm/Donnerhall). Look forward to watching he and Anna dance in the dressage ring 🙂
Fortunate to have a wonderful friend near the US border to give us a break and a rest for our little traveller.
It was a blast and covered a lot of ground.
21 stops, 8,356 kms, lovely people, beautiful horses, and fantastic Dobermans. My favourite stores...Tractor Supply, Dover, IKEA, and Costco lol. The truck hauled like a machine, I complimented it often as we filled it with finds along the way.
What a pleasure to spend time at Marefield Meadows; amazing people, incredibly generous with their hospitality and support. The books, omg the books, so excited to go cover to cover.
We were very fortunate to tour some lovely breeding farms: Westphalians for USA LLC, Willow Hill Equestrian, Hilton Farms, Elevage Diabolo ZLD, and Marefield Meadows. Great setups and such happy horses.
The beautiful Dobermans and German Shepherds we met, wowsers. Von Schwarz Dobermans is a source of excellent dogs and information, fantastic owner. Excited for a match for Deci in the spring.
As the common joke goes, I tend to be “efficient” when I travel and my family was ready for the 20 minute special Lol. (Was at least 6 hours this time). Happy to see our brothers and their families, and close friends. Also a treasure to meet up with my wonderful Aunt Lois.
So lucky to have Jason, excellent co-pilot, lots of laughs, and our brains going full tilt.
Big thank you to our friends at home that took care of the farm during some questionable weather, very appreciated!!

Have multiple mares? Touch base to see what we can work out.
Three weeks left for the collection season for Schwarzenegger and Dauphin. We are able to work on fairly short notice. We have a wonderful local FedEx office that goes the extra mile. Touch base today if you would like to book a LFG contract and try to get the rest of those open mares in-foal.
Duchess Alyce produced a tall leggy dark Schwarzenegger filly on Thursday night. Unfortunately there were some foaling complications and the foal had internal damage, she passed at 30 hours old. Ali is doing ok and is back out with her pasture mates.
May 2nd, 2017
Waiting patiently for SPS Wonderful Dream to foal, she is day 338 and dripping milk at the moment.
We bred Esprentina NPF to Dauphin last week. Fingers crossed for a black dot in the near future.
The stallions are glad the season is in full swing :)
We have some fun crosses planned for 2018, please check the sales page for more information.

We are pleased to offer Santerina for the discerning buyer. This gorgeous grey filly was to be retained for our breeding program, however, our size preference is 16.2hh with substance and medium bone. This filly will likely finish 15.3-16hh and is quite refined. For someone looking for a wonderful mind, and powerful movement-this is your filly.

Some dates to keep an eye out for with collections through the season.
FedEx: Canada http://www.fedex.com/ca_english/services/serviceguide/holidays.html
FedEx: United States http://www.fedex.com/us/service-guide/holiday-schedule.html
SPS Wonderful Dream is 303 days along today, slowly but surely we are getting there. Love brushing the mares and feeling those foals kicking. I would guess she will foal April 26th-April 29th (ish lol).
There are two mares quite close behind her, Duchess Alyce (292 days) and Rimini (290 days), both are carrying Schwarzenegger foals.
March 10th, 2017
Started a new page as the "News" page was big and slow to load with all the files and videos.
First shipment of the season left today for Wisconsin. Dauphin was the lucky fellow. We have a wonderful local FedEx depot in Charlottetown, they were quite funny, said seeing the boxes come in is their first real sign of spring lol.
Both Belgrade and Hallstatt were gelded last Monday.
Looking forward to the first foal of the season; Dauphin x SPS Wonderful Dream. Guessing late April, early May. She is not nearly as big as she was last year carrying Hallstatt. Please be a filly. We are hoping in a big way to retain a filly from "Martina" for our breeding program.
There are 19 horses on the farm at the moment, what a nice number :) They are not all ours: there are four weanlings being boarded, three horses on breeding lease, and one recipient on lend. Our aim is to over winter about 14 for next year, we'll see how it goes. We have reduced taking outside horses at this time to focus on our own.
Happy to announce we have filled the summer position on the farm, thank you to all that applied.
