“More gene replication occurs in the fetus during the FIRST trimester of pregnancy than the rest of a foals life.”

- Dana Tomlinson, PhD

What does that mean?

A mare fed a diet lacking in key nutrients prior to breeding and during gestation can have direct long term effects on the foal later in life, and even pass on for several generations. For example, a mare fed inadequate levels of zinc throughout gestation, but more importantly in the first trimester, can produce a foal born with hoof issues, skin conditions, or skeletal deficiencies later in life.

Also, “undernutrition during pregnancy followed by excess nutrition after birth can lead to development of metabolic syndrome.” -Jyme Nichols, PhD Equine Nutritionist

(Fun fact- this is true for people too!)

Thinking about dressage today:
More than twenty years ago Dr Reiner Klimke stressed the real art of dressage: “The horse should be happy and going softly with invisible aids. To achieve this the trainer must be very patient and disciplined. The aim is to keep your horse proud so that he accepts you as master. Don’t sit on him but influence him. The horse must carry us easily and only then will you achieve self-balance.”
“The judges have a real responsibility to the sport - their responsibility is not that their own ideas become reality. Exactly what we have in our dressage rules, everything is described there, and if you want to change the rules, then the changes have to be recorded.”

Your horses are going to need a little extra attention with the freezing weather. Make sure they have access to warm water. Break the ice and remove it from troughs. Maybe add a little warm water from the house or offer them a bucket of warm water in the morning and at night. You'd be surprised how much they drink. Also, feed extra hay rather than extra grain. Metabolizing hay will keep them warmer. Add a little salt or electrolytes to their grain to encourage them to drink. Blanket your "old farts" because they can't keep warm like they used to due to their declining metabolism.

Reiner Klimke told us:
“The horse is not our slave, the horse is our friend. We look for other things – expression, the way he goes, the presence, this is what wins now. The Cavalry School aim was absolute obedience, but this has changed and with it, our horse breeding."

2022 Hanoverian c**t by Sarkozy / Dancier / Raphael's Son II - located in Houston, TX

****THE MAGIC COMBINATION OF SANDRO HIT x DONNERHALL BLOOD *****

Cheers is a tall and very elegant sport type 🤩Like his father, he has an excellent reach in the foreleg, an exceptional walk and is active through his hind leg in both canter and trot making these easy uphill paces. He has an amicable easy going personality that handled the in-hand show series like a pro. He has been well handled, loves attention, meets you at the gate, stands for the farrier and bath time, and loads in the trailer like a seasoned traveler. Bred by Jan Graham Marquardt of Walkabout Station and owned by Amy Griffin. He is available to the discerning rider. Please contact Cynthia P Hall for more information.

His sire, Sarkozy - Hanoverian Stallion won over the hearts of the crowd every time he entered the ring during his stallion approvals with his grace and beauty. This noble stallion's scores for walk, trot, canter, rideability and willingness were all outstanding, particularly the 9.5 which he received for walk.
Sarkozy then led the field in the Bundeschampionat final for four year-old stallions, scoring 9.5 for conformation and 9.0 for all basic paces. The jet black stallion only missed out on the title by one point, finishing up as the celebrated vice champion. This achievement came soon after Sarkozy's Riding Horse Championship win in Hanover, where he triumphed with a score of 9.08.
Sarkozy's pedigree is almost inspired because it combines the excellent genes of champion producer Sandro Hit with those of Weltmeyer, a stallion with millions of euro in competition winnings, and this is reflected in his extravagant movement. It is rounded off by premium Hanoverian genes from Bolero and Lungau, producers of many successful championship horses such as Beauvalais, Salinero and Brentina. Sarkozy is a dynamic mover with a generous action through the shoulder that earned him top scores at his licensing test, where the commission judges awarded him an impressive 9.5 for his walk.

His dam is by Dancier, the authoritative winner of his performance test and stallion licensing, was also proclaimed Best Hanoverian Stallion of 2002. This success won him the “Freiherr von Stenglin” award. As a young stallion, Dancier qualified twice for the national Championships in Warendorf and celebrated his first successes in the advanced class at the youthful age of eight. A son of the top class dressage progenitor, De Niro, this noble, attractive black stallion appears on the way to his own excellence as a sire. Damsire Lancier is by the venerable Laurie's Crusador xx, Hanoverian Stallion of the Year 2006, a rare honor for a Thoroughbred stallion. Dancier was awarded the perfect score of 10 for his walk, 9.5 for his canter and 9.2 for his walk. As a four year old he placed third in the Bundeschampionate. In 2008 he won the Hamburg Derby Grand Prix and was the Hanoverian Stallion of the Year. Dancier is noted for his exceptional temperament and good ability to work from behind.
