Bogart $9500

Born March 31, 2009: This lovely colt carries incredible bloodlines as it hails from some of the most influential bloodlines in breeding history. Bogart is out of our lovely imported broodmare, Mon Petite Noir, by Matcho(d.X). This mare stands around 16-16.1 and is a true black, not uncommon for Matcho offspring. The State Stud Stallion Matcho AA was an incredibly beautiful stallion sought after for his riding horse qualities. His offspring are all very good in temperament and rideablity, with lovely gaits. He can be found in the pedigree of many of today’s top performance horses and is much sought after as a dam sire. Matcho's outstanding record of quality includes 46 licensed sons, 64 States Premium Mares and 215 Main Studbook Mares. On Noi's dam's side she boasts the 'old' school lineage of Trapper (HANN, Vollkorn (XX), and Malachit (HANN). Trapper is a Celle State Stud stallion known for producing big, floating trots with excellent rideability. His daughters have become especially noteworthy as excellent producers, often producing outstanding quality of movement and rideability. Trapper descends from the Trakhener influence of Trautmann, whose ancestry includes Aventin xx, sire of Marcio xx, one of the influential improvement sires who gave the Hanoverian breed such notable stallions as Matrose and Maat I. Noi has German Hannoverian papers and is listed in the MMB with both the ISR/Oldenburg, NA and the American Hanoverian Association. Bogart's sire, Bugatti Hilltop, boasts some of the most influential dressage lines in breeding history into one outstanding stallion. His sire Bergamon is a son of Baryshnikov (by Bolero), winner of his 100-Day test and many time winner in S-level Dressage tests. Bergamon has five approved sons to date. Bergamon's dam Paola is the full-sister to Pik Bube I, whose influence has been felt especially in the Oldenburg and Hanoverian breeding regions. Bugatti's dam St.Pr. Raffinesse is by the famous Westphalian stallion Rubinstein. Throughout his career, Rubinstein sired many influential sons including Royal Diamond, Rotspon, and the World Equestrian Games Team Bronze medalist, Relevant. St. Pr. Raffinesse's dam line carries the incredible influence of the famous Donnerhall. For over 20 years, Donnerhall has been a powerful influence in the breeding world and was ranked #1 in the 2000 German FN's index for all German stallions of his age group in both the Dressage and Overall divisions. Under Karin Rehbein, Donnerhall won many World Cup, World Championship, and German Championship titles. As for Bugatti himself, his impact is becoming world reknowned as he continues to sire offspring gaining premium recognition and foal championships worldwide. Bugatti's offspring carry on his type, suppleness, and elastic expression that are destined to become trademarks for this rising star. Bogart is beautifully marked and has incredible bone. He is already adapting well to his new surroundings and seems to have a very level and kind personality. Bogart is branded Hanoverian.

Decker $6500

Decker is a darling little colt by the late Donatelli, who unfortunately passed last fall. Donatelli wass by the infamous stallion Donnerhall, who combined a sports career at Grand Prix level with a phenomenal breeding performance, including more than 40 approved sons. Donatelli's damsire was the stallion Pik Bube I, an outstanding stallion known for producing dressage horses. In the third and fourth generation we find the valuable bloodlines of Graphit and Daimyo. The success formula of Donnerhall and Pik Bube I can be seen in the pedigrees of Davingon, Da Vinci, Donnerbube and Don Pikado. Donatelli's dam, Granny's Girl, is a full sister to the Oldenburg approved stallion Placido. Donatelli himself had an outstanding 100 day Performance Test at Neustadt-Dosse in 1997. He was "Leistungsklasse I" with a total-score of 121.26 points. For the dressage elements he obtained high marks for walk: 9, trot: 9, canter: 9 and for his character he got a 10! Although Donatelli had a pedigree for dressage, he also showed jumping talent with scores of 7 and 8 for these elements. Interestingly enough, Donatelli had embarked on a career in the hunter/jumpers after his move to Canada in the spring of 2008. As a sire, Donatelli was awarded the 1c Main Premium Award from the Oldenburg Association, given for outstanding performance results, high quality of first foals and brilliance of type and movement. His son Dynamico became premium stallion at the Oldenburg stallion show, his daughter Djerba was sold very expensively in the Oldenburg Auction and Donatorio won the "Materialprufung". In 2001 his very beautiful son Divertimento was approved. Donatelli himself won 5 times in the S-class in Germany and was fifth in his first Prix St.Georges competition. Since arriving in North America Donatelli has continued to excel in the dressage arena. He has received outstanding scores up to 72% at Grand Prix. Decker's dam, The Fox, is a very kind and loving mare who has been a wonderful amateur mount. She has been in dressage training for the last three years and exhibits extreme trainability combined with the best of dispositions. Even at such a young age, The Fox had been deemed reliable enough for small children to ride. She has an exceptional hind leg and a beautiful, expressive eye. The Fox comes to us with a good show record in the dressage ring. She also has wonderful hunter type form over fences. Fox is by the Hanoverian stallion Freestyle who combines the bloodlines of Werther and Bolero. Decker will be branded Hanoverian.
