2024 Year in Review
As 2024 draws to an end we want to thank all of you for your support; we truly appreciated every “like”, “love” comment, message, and foal inquiry we’ve received. We had an incredible year, full of healthy babies, successful inspections, exciting new beginnings for our youngsters, and of course new (and very much anticipated) confirmed pregnancies. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for cheering us on from near and afar.
See below for some highlights from this year.
Our 2024 Foals
Unforgettable FHF
“Baby Getty”
Velantis N (Vitalis/Floriscount/Wolkentanz) x Tales of Paradise xx
Baby Getty was born on March 17th. He has the most precious soul and kindest heart. Getty was purchased as a foal by a wonderful family in California and we are so excited to say that he will remain in our Young Horse Program; so fun to be able to continue to be a part of his daily life and watch him grow. Lots in store for Getty Spaghetti!
Modern Love FHF
“Baby Bowie”
Monterey (Morricone/Sir Donnerhall/Diamond Hit) x Fiona CBF, stb. (Royal Prince/Grundstein)
Baby Bowie was born on March 30th. This fun loving, unflappable boy was reserved in utero and seeing his mommy and him meet for the first time was absolutely the best. Bowie will head home to Ohio in late Spring of 2025. His mommy has big plans for their future together and we can not wait to see them dance!
Fully Automatic FHF
“Baby Nova”
Blue Hors Florent (Floriscount/Desperados FRH/Wolkentanz I) x Segnorita (Scuderia/Weltmeyer/Brentano II)
Baby Nova was born on April 10th. She is the sweetest, most loving little princess who definitely knows what she wants out of life. Nova was reserved in utero and of course, it was love at first sight. Nova will join her family in Ohio later this Spring. She is sure to be dressage queen and will of course demand to be treated as such!
Utmost FHF
“Baby Luke”
Creme de la Creme (Cream on Top) x Luminescent (Larentino/Cantus/Lord Liberty)
Baby Luke was born on May 6th. This little goofball has a heart of gold and a terrific sense of humor, finding fun in everything he does. Lukie was purchased in utero and left us after weaning to join his new mommies in Virginia. We can not wait to see him in the hunter ring some day, jumping his little heart out!
Unequivocally Yours FHF
“Baby Coda”
Ferdeaux (Bordeaux / Ferro / Zonneglans) x Jamaica-STRH, stb. (Fairytail / Zhivago / Jazz)
Baby Coda was born on June 13th. This handsome boy is the sweetest thing and he simply LOVES his people - especially when they give him smooches. Coda was purchased as a foal by a professional in Pennsylvania who has big plans for our special little man. He will join his new mommy this Spring and together these two will take the world by storm, one blue ribbon at a time!

Creme de la Creme (Cream on Top) x Luminescent (Larentino/Cantus/Lord Liberty)
2024 KWPN Colt - Highest Scoring Hunter Foal in KWPN North American Keuring Tour
Expected Foals - 2025
Bernstein SL (Bonds/Sir Donnerhall/Rohdiamont) out of our exceptional KWPN Studbook mare Fiona CBF (Royal Prince/Grundstein)
AVAILABLE to reserve in utero
Fiona consistently stamps her foals with good bone, extremely correct limb formation, and exceptional character. Her foals are the epitome of “born trained”. Combined with Bernstein’s modern type, elastic, expressive and uphill movement, this foal is destined to be special and expected to excel at upper level sport; with the mind for an adult amateur and talent suited to a professional.
Fiona’s previous offspring have been nothing short of exceptional. Her 2023 colt, Timeless FHF, was awarded First Premium with the KWPN, made the prestigious KWPN Keuring Top Ten, and was high scoring KWPN at the Young Horse Show Series in Lexington. Her 2024 colt, Modern Love FHF, was the high scoring Rhineland foal at his AHS/ARS inspection.
Golden State (FS Golden Moonlight/Donchester/Valento) out of our stunning German Riding Pony mare, Paizlee (Pablito/Holly Hill Bartholomew/Gayfields Glory Hallelujah)
AVAILABLE to reserve in utero
Paizlee is the whole package; she has the kindest character, correct confirmation, and has naturally uphill, balanced, and expressive gaits. Paired with Golden State’s impressive presence, powerhouse movement, exceptional competition record and proven successes as sire, this foal is destined to be special and expected to excel at upper level sport. A dressage superstar in a fun sized package!
Ferdeaux (Bordeuax keur/Ferro pref/Zonneglans) out of our exceptional KWPN studbook mare Jamaica-STRH (Fairytale/Zhivago/Jazz)
AVAILABLE to reserve in utero
Jamaica consistently stamps her foals with the most incredible presence - they have the total definition of a “wow factor”. In addition to their stunning exterior, they have the most phenomenal character and are bold, brave, and inquisitive. They are truly the whole package (and then some). Paired with Ferdeaux’s modern type, supple and powerful gait, and proven successes as a sire, this foal is destined to be special and expected to excel at upper level sport.
Jamaica’s previous offspring have been nothing short of exceptional. Both her 2023 filly, To Feel the Rhythm FHF and 2024 colt, Unequivocally Yours FHF were awarded First Premium by the KWPN. Both foals were complemented for their lovely type, long lines, expression, and impressive, uphill gaits boasting good technique and balance. Both foals sold to professional Gold Medal/FEI riders/trainers with full intentions of taking these special babies all the way!
Ferdeaux (Bordeaux/Ferro/Zonneglans) out of our exceptional Hannoveraner Verband/AHS Main Book mare, Segnorita (Scuderia (Sir Donnerhall)/Weltmeyer/Brentana II)
RESERVED in utero
Segnorita’s foals are praised for their excellent type, correct confirmation, and expressive and elastic uphill movement. Combined with Ferdeaux’s modern type, supple and powerful gait mechanics, and exceptional character, this foal is destined to be special and expected to excel at upper level sport.
Segnorita’s previous offspring have been nothing short of exceptional. Her 2024 filly, Fully Automatic FHF, was the high scoring Hanoverian foal at her AHS inspection. Prior to joining our program, she was accepted into a top Knapstrupper breeding program where both her 2021 Knabstrupper colt and her 2022 Knapstrupper filly, were awarded Premium by Westfalen. Because of her outstanding pedigree and successes as a broodmare, oocytes were retained and she continues to produce award winning Knapstrupper foals.
Diktator van de Boslandhoeve (Thunder van de Zuuthoeve /Capital/Lys de Darmen) out of our lovely mare Luminescent (Larentino/Cantus/Lord Liberty)
AVAILABLE to reserve in utero
Luminescent is truly the perfect combination of scope, technique, temperament, beauty and athleticism. With both her sire and dam being successful Grand Prix show jumpers, the ability to jump is deeply rooted in her pedigree. Paired with Diktator’s impressive competition record and proven successes as a sire of both hunter and jumper offspring, this foal is destined to be special and expected to excel at upper level sport.
Luminescent has proven herself to be an exceptional producer. Her 2024 colt was the HIGHEST scoring hunter bred foal in the North American KWPN Keuring Tour with a huge score of 80 (78 confirmation/82 movement).
