Kikoura

Bay Filly
by Quattro out of Kapalua

Our Quattro foal has arrived!

This filly is everything a breeder dreams of!
From the moment she arrived we have been entranced by her.
She is a Big filly, with by far the longest legs we have ever seen on a foal.
She is beautifully put together and has definitely received the best of both her sire and dam.
She has a lovely refined feminine head and movement at 2 days old that we could have only dreamed of. 
Quattro definitely stamped this one!!!!!!!!

Castleton's Molly
"Molly"

Chestnut Rabicano Filly
Welsh Pony
by Alexander out of For a Tuppence

We could not be happier with the arrival of our first pony foal.

"Molly" arrived at 11:40 p.m. on May 30th.
She is a strong filly and was up nursing and trying to buck within a hour!
She has a beautiful dish welsh head with a offset star and a large white nose.  Not sure if we should call it a snip as it is so large.  It looks like she put her nose in a bucket of white paint!
She also has four lovely white legs, almost the same markings as her mothers legs, even with a left front that has white that goes up to the knee behind (just like mom's) .

"Molly" is a rabicano just like her mother and already has the skunk tail and white roaning throughout her hind end.  The photos shown are at birth and one day old running in the field.
It looks like she already has he mother's beautiful movement.

Valenciennes
"William" 


 

Bay Colt
by Voltaire out of Sev's Dancer

Valenciennes is by VOLTAIRE. Voltaire had more offspring at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta than any other stallion. Voltaire was an influential sire of show jumpers, dressage horses, and show hunters. In the US he was awarded the title of “Hunter Sire of the Year” for 2001, 2002, and 2003. He had a successful career as a show jumper, competing over 1.50 m courses as an eight-year-old. He was especially successful in 1988 with Jos Lansink, winning Nations Cup classes at Calgary, Stockholm, Lanaken, Helsinski, Wiesbaden and Wembley. In 1989 he ended his competitive career with a win at the Grand Prix of Berlin and a 2nd place in the Grand Prix of Leeuwarden. It would seem that Voltaire´s influence will continue not just through his stallion sons but through his fillies. The individual bronze medal in jumping at Athens went to Royal Kaliber (USA) – by Ramiro but out of a Voltaire mare.

We are thrilled with the arrival of our Voltaire colt!

He is beautifully put together and is a big boy!  He has wonderful long legs with a lot of bone.
We are sure he will be at least 17 hands and at least meet his dam and sire's height.
Sev's Dancer has produced two Elite Selle Francais foals for us.  She gives her foals wonderful minds and fantastic brave jumping ability.
With Voltaire added to the mix, this colt should be a wonderful combination of jumping talent.

"William" at this time will be retained as a hopeful stallion prospect.

We look forward to seeing how this colt matures.
