Sorry for the photo overload. 🤣 We can't get enough of this little red head!

We've named her with a barn name of "Ruby". We need a registered name beginning with "U".... send ideas if you have them!

Ruby is by Dubarry (thanks to
Eurequine, LLC for their exceptional service!), out of Danica (Rousseau x Concord).

Thank you and congratulations, Kathleen!!!

A rainy (like 5+ inches of rain) and SUPER muddy day here on the ranch!

We are loving how our 3 year olds are starting to look more grown-up and filling out! Here's just a couple of casual pics in the barn yesterday of Kodak and Phinesse.

They are both started lightly under saddle and are available! 😍

Look out world! This adorable c**t by Gorgeous Latino - Warmblood Stallion (Glock's Toto Jr/Rubiquil/Sultan) and out of our home bred mare, Phenomenal AK (Pikko Del Cerro x Alabaster) is going to wow! Born 6/23/23 at 3:15 a.m. 🎉🎉🎉

When the resident Houdini peeks into the feed room innocently, as if it won't be noticed that he opened his own stall door, grazed in the yard all afternoon, and now is hungry for dinner and thinks he'll help himself.... 🤣

As today is going to reach around 50 degrees (almost a heat wave! 🤣), and horses are starting to shed (hallelujah!!!), I'm perusing the pictures again...here is "Cupcake" (yes, my then-4 year old daughter picked her barn name!), aka "Overture AK", last summer. She is 4 years old this year and ready to go to work!

Congratulations to Gorgeous Latino! Way to represent the USA!!!

Lord willing, we will be fortunate to welcome a Gorgeous Latino son or daughter to our farm next year!!!

Well, we sent Riggs off to his new home this weekend! We were sure sad to see him go, but his new home is going to be AMAZING and he'll be in heaven! Congrats to his new owners!!! He has been a pretty awesome boy to raise and we are blessed to have had the opportunity to buy his dam when she was pregnant with him, and then raise him. Riggs has great things in store for him!

Thanks to Bit Of Prairie Farm for breeding his dam and giving us the opportunity to purchase her bred. What a great cross this was.

Thanks to KV Dressage for handling all the details of the sale. Your expertise was appreciated!

We welcomed a fighter this morning! After we spent days with no sleep while diligently watching her, our beautiful broodmare, Lady Lorelei (by Landkönig - Warmblood Stallion ) finally went into labor with her foal sired by the great Utopie "Combina" - Warmblood Stallion ! Unfortunately, this foal decided to be positioned in a very tough spot and thanks to the sheer strength and skills Kyle possesses, the filly was able to be pulled out just in the nick of time. With her fighting spirit, she came around and has spent the day learning how to use her long legs! She's a talker also, nickering at us every time we come to check in on her. Name decisions are being made...stay tuned! :)

Welcome to the world, little one!!!

Born this morning, in a thunderstorm, a very nice, correct quarter horse c**t by Metallic Avator, out of Krogs Rita Doc. We are thrilled to see he is a red roan! Mama and baby are both doing well. 💕

This three year old gelding has the best brain. He loves going on trail rides and is so sensible and quiet!

Wanna Dance AK, otherwise known around the barn as "Iris", had wonderful remarks from the Hanoverian inspector yesterday and earned her brand! Her momma, EM Wanjana, has produced another impressive foal, and her sire, Wild Dance ( Eurequine, LLC ), has stamped her with his awesomeness as well!

Iris enjoyed romping in the gorgeous arena at Red Fern Ranch . 😂 Thank you to Red Fern for hosting the Hanoverian Inspection!

We haven't showcased any of our horses lately, so we'll remedy that tonight!

This is Wrangler AK, a 3 year old Oldenburg gelding by the great Wild Dance (standing at Eurequine, LLC ), and out of our lovely broodmare, Lady Lorelei (by Landkönig). The combination of jumper and dressage blood in this gelding is seeming to be a great combo so far, as Wrangler is showing some nice potential. He's lightly started under saddle and has been so easy to work with.

Wrangler was the site champion at his inspection as a foal, tieing with two other foals in 2018 for the highest score in the nation! He has been an absolute joy to raise and will make an excellent partner for a lucky rider!

Although bittersweet for us, Kyle and I want to shout out a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Florijan BCF's new owners, Mary Cook and Frankie Brittain!!! 🎉🎉🎉 "Kona" traveled extremely well and instantly loved his new, perfect home. We cannot wait to see how his performance career progresses and he couldn't be in better hands!!!

Many thanks to Cindy Ford of Big Creek Farm who bred him and sold him and his amazing dam, EM Wanjana, to us. Also, a shout-out to Iron Spring Farm who stands Florianus II (Kona's sire), and to my dear friend, Lynn, who braved the road trip with me!!!

Best wishes to Kona, Mary and Frankie on all their future endeavors together!!!

Welcome to the world, little one! ❤

Our next AK Equine member we're showcasing is Florijan BCF, a 3 year old Hanoverian gelding, bred by Cindy Ford of Big Creek Farm . "Legs", as he's affectionately called here at the barn, is one of the coolest horses around! His super chill attitude, gorgeous movement and super trainability is going to lead to great things in his life! We have thoroughly enjoyed raising this guy and can't wait to see what's in store for him! He is by Florianus II, and out of EM Wanjana (showcased here on this page recently, sporting her very large baby belly!).

06/01/2021

The next horse we'd like to showcase is Lola, registered name Phenomenal AK. Lola is a 2017 Oldenburg GOV filly by Pikko Del Cerro and out of our late mare, Amanta. Amanta was a very successful FEI dressage horse who became very special to us in the few years we owned her. Amanta was by Alabaster, out of a Woronesch mare. Sadly, we lost Amanta due to complications of colic surgery. We are hoping Lola will follow in both her sire and dam's performance footprints! She stole our hearts from the moment she was born. She is just in her first week of under saddle work and doing very well! She'll also hopefully be in foal very soon. It's a big year for Lola!

We don't post near enough about our phenomenal broodmares, the ones that make it all possible to produce the very nice foals we've been blessed with. We only have one expected foal this year and I wanted to highlight our broodmare who is expecting:

Meet Wanjana (barn name "Vonna"), imported Elite Hanoverian Mare by Wanderkoenig, out of a Salvano x Espri mare. We were so lucky and blessed to acquire her from a friend, Cindy Ford, who successfully rode her to FEI level and also bred her twice before she came to live with us.

Vonna has produced 4 foals so far, and she has stamped them all with her amazing temperament and athletic ability. She is simply glowing this spring and we cannot wait to see what her cross with Wild Dance (Wolkenstein II x Matcho AA) will produce, as her 5th foal!

So sorry to hear of the passing of this legend. We are so thankful and fortunate to have one of his daughters, Lady Lorelei, in our broodmare herd. ❤💔

At the age of 29, we lost Landkoenig, a giant in many ways, big, gentle and healthy until the end, leaving with us a giant legacy. Landkoenig laid down not to wake up and moved on to greener pastures where he is no doubt chasing his old stablemates Pablo and Escudo II. He was my big buddy for a long time and I already miss him.

24 years ago, looking to add some Holsteiner blood to my breeding program and knowing that the German “chef d’equipe” Herbert Meyer bred his best mares to Landkoenig right after he was licensed, I purchased Landkoenig. Landkoenig’s offspring set sales records in Germany, won Grand Prix’s, qualified for the Olympics and surpassed a million-dollar winnings in just a few years.

Landkoenig was very easy going and produced so much like himself.
I found him through his breeder Laura Bettinger who had his GP producing damline in her family for many generations. The pairing of Landadel with this very impressive Hanoverian dam line proved phenomenally successful in top jumper production.

Landkoenig’s first year breeding in Germany quickly set him up as an important sire of performance horses with a licensed son and a 4-year-old Landkoenig offspring that shattered the record price for a jumper sold in the “Hanoverian Niedersachsen Halle”. That marked the first of many magazine covers in “Der Hannoveraner” and multi-million-dollar offspring.

Landkoenig’s most famous offspring Lantinus started his Grand Prix career with Gregory Wathelet for the Ukrainian team and made the cover again after winning 3, 5 star Grand Prixs in one month as an 8 year old. With Denis Lynch on the Irish team, Lantinus ranked FEI # 1 worldwide and went clean at the opening rounds at the Beijing Olympics, won the Aachen GP and others in the Global champions tour and qualified for the London Olympics. Meanwhile other young Landkoenig offspring like Lucculus and Lipton where also placing and winning Grand Prix’s. Landkoenig offspring winnings quickly reached the million dollar mark. Meanwhile in the USA, Landkoenig had the highest jumper breed value and a full breeding book. He also produced top hunters, successful futurity horses and even GP jumpers out of TB mares as well as successful eventers. His legacy will live on thru his many offspring and we will miss him dearly. We will offer proven frozen semen with a LFG.

We are so happy for Clooney's new owner, Jaden! We hope she enjoys him as much as we have. He is one of the special ones! Thank you to KV Dressage for making a perfect match!!!

Clooney is off to Wisconsin! Congratulations to AK Equine and Clooney’s new mom, Jaden! When Jaden reached out looking for a new partner and we didn’t have the perfect match, we were happy to assist her in finding her dream horse! That dream horse was Clooney, a handsome 4yo gelding with plenty of scope in his jump and a lovable personality! Always feel free to reach out to us, even if you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for on our website, we might just have the perfect match that hasn’t been listed yet!
