Quasar SSH - Cremello Warmblood Stallion NZ

27/02/2025

And that’s a wrap for the 2024/25 breeding season! It was never in my plans to acquire a breeding stallion, but it was a case of not being able to tear myself away from his advert, and then everything just falling into place as if it was meant to be.
It’s been a huge leap of faith and a real learning curve, and I can’t thank those enough who have supported him this season. He’s had some truly phenomenal mares scan in foal and the future is looking incredibly bright for the pool of dilute warmbloods here in NZ! We absolutely cannot wait to see his first foals on the ground.

A huge Thankyou to Goldengrove Studfarm for sharing their time, experience, and knowledge throughout the season to get things up and running for us. Ken loves his quick visits to “work” 🤣

He already has mares on his list for next season, and again we will only be taking a limited number of select mares.

Ken will be having a wee break now and I will soon be starting him under saddle. Exciting times 🤩

We have the first Ken baby of our own brewing 🥳 This season was fairly hectic so our own mares drew the short straw and waited til most others were out of the way - I will be more on top of that next season, it’s been a season of learning 🫣
Out of a beautiful Gym Bello/Uraeus mare (pictured) who is a huge moving girl! This foal will most likely be available and we welcome any pre interest.
Thanks again Goldengrove Studfarm for their help and Tania & Dean for the lovely Gracie 🥰

Quasar is not available to collect on the 7/8/9 February.
He is available only up until 1 March - we are nearing the end of his first season and are very eagerly awaiting his first crop of foals! He will have a wee break and then get lightly started under saddle.

Another lovely mare bred to Quasar this season! We couldn’t be more excited for the foals he has due so far. We have some more mares waiting to be scanned and another few on the books to be AIed. We are happy to squeeze in a few more before the season ends.
He is finishing for the season on 1 March. Some of his foals due have already been spoken for by purchasers so it looks like they are going to be sought after!
This is also his last season with an introductory service fee of $1500 🦄💛

Castana my first cross Andalusian mare has been mated to quasar, a gorgeous warmblood stallion local to me. Excited about this foal!

Ken is still a busy bee now that we’re into the second half of the season. Another mare was AIed locally today and I’m particularly interested in seeing this cross!
A reminder that he finishes up for the season on 1 March 💛🦄

Bit of pre education for the golden boy today before he comes to my place (he’s currently grazing at my parents property) in the Autumn and is started under saddle!
Zero cares given about wearing the gear for the first time 💛

And another one on the first pop list! This one is a Dream Boy mare 💛

Another palomino baby brewing (chestnut mother, by FF Lissandro) to add to the list of “mares in foal first pop” for Quasar this season 🥳

Wishing everyone a fabulous and safe Christmas, and New Years holidays 🎄🎉🎁
We have been blown away by the support for Quasar in his first year at stud, and are looking forward to continuing to create stunning golden warmblood foals for those booked in the second half of the season.
We will be collecting as required through the holiday period, excluding public holidays and the 5th January, but will require 24 hours notice at the absolute minimum.
Happy Holidays - bring on 2025 with Quasar getting started under saddle and his first foals due!

🎄 Christmas 🎄
Quasar will be unavailable for collections on the 25th, 26th and 31st December, and the 1st, 2nd and 5th of January.

2025 is looming and is the year I start Quasar under saddle and also his first crop of foals due….the excitement levels are high! 🤩

More foals brewing for next season - these are from a Viva Gold (Vivaldi/For Romance) mare, and a Riarma’s Xpression mare 🤩

🎄 December 🎄

Quasar will not be available for collections on the following dates through December:
1st, 5th-8th, 13th - and of course Christmas and Boxing Day!
I am away a fair bit this month competing and teaching, so it is important to give me plenty of notice around when you will likely need semen.
Please advise the above dates to your vets so we can work together to get a result 🐣

Quasar will not be available for collections on the 30 November & 1 December. For those of you planning to breed around that time frame please communicate this to your vet 🗓️
Three mares already AIed this week - busy boy!
We are very pleased with the reports back on the fabulous motility of his “goods” 🔬

03/11/2024

Ken is a busy boy this week - here is a video of his swimmers, still swimming very well, up in Hamilton today after we collected last night.
I don’t normally offer weekend collections as with competing and teaching things can be hectic enough - however this mare needed AIing today, so with dressage also on today we opted to collect last night and do an 8pm dash to the airport so it could be on the first flight this morning.
Thanks SG Stud - Boutique Equine Breeding Services for the video!
