This is Donoso's first offspring with a Hanovarian mare, result; lovely Ferrosa! Mum Ferrara is a Hanoverian that made her career in showjumping. Ferrosa's owner Tanja says she is the kinderst horse with the best temperament you can wish for and she has already shown she can jump a 120 cm fence! No Donoso offspring is for sale so I was curious to know Tanja's plans and she says that she is very content with her and that she will never ever be for sale!

Today I recieved the sad news that a Donoso foal died in delivery. The mare did not push and he came hind first and was too big big for the veterinarian to turn, so he did not make it. I am so very sorry for I know this was a very much wanted foal, he was a perfect, beautiful and big stallion that would have been Donoso's first PRE boy. I wish I could have helped but I know they did all they could. So so sorry.

Yesterday Donoso had a vist from a girlfriend and it is very exciting match because this lady is also halfsister to Halagador and to Intimidad that is the mother to our 1 year old Donita VIK. So same set up (Cárdenas/Y.M) pedigree as Intimidad and as the combination of Donoso and Intimidad proved sucessfull this breeder wanted to try the same 'recipie', which of course we are very happy about! He wants a Donita but in a boy-version = wish him a   beautiful superman!
The plan is that Donoso will finish the breeding the season here in Spain and then we will send him to Sweden for a short period so he can serve the mares that are booked for him there.

Proud owner! And he rides his mare regularly!!

We have had a summer weekend mowing the lawn, having coffee on the terrass and even a litte sunbathing! On the saturday I was either superattacked by some pollenallergy or was it a fatigue stressreaction or perhaps some bug that did me in? I have no idea but I was totally out, absolutely no energy whatsoever. Did not become 'alive' until today in the afternoon and it is probably no surprise that I ended up in stables training my horses, the best medicine for ALL conditions! Today they went on the pessoa/long-reins, excellent work for collection, topline and stretching backs.
Some more photos of Donut training last friday. As always it is Javier who takes all our pictures, I think he is real good at catching the artistic quality and personality!

It's all about happy riding!

  
And this is Donoso's first offspring, our elegant 1 year old PRE lady Donita VIK!

She got her dad's super movements and personality, and her mums female elegance!
 
   
  
And I have had good news from Bonnie and her Mini-Totilas happily training in Florida, they are all outraged about his movement, she will have so much fun with him! Look forward to pictures Bonnie. And our darling Talmud is happy under the palmtrees in California, they are very impressed by him and take excellent care of him too.
Happy new spring-week everyone!

We had a lovely day of spring, both Donoso and Start got a good workout and so did I, both are thriving, we are just playing around now and having fun, my playmates. We are invited to FIECVAL again this year, FIECVAL is the Euoropean Championships for PRE in which Donoso VII participated last year. This year we will go with Festivo MR that will now have to compete against the adult stallions 7 years and up, huu, my big baby against all grown up hotshots! Festivo is born in October so he will really only be +6 but it is the birthyear that counts (year going 7 for adults section 12) so there you go, well someone has to be the youngest, we see it as a challenge! Last year we saw some exceptional horses, very high level and in some sections they were even better than in SICAB, so I can really recommend you to go because it is a joy for the eye to see all the beauties. You will find us under the swedish flag, hope to see you there!

My favoutite photo from exhibition this weekend, there is so much beauty in a the stillness.
  

This is a picture of a SWB mare by the elite stud stallion Master 850 that will have a offspring with our studstallion Donoso VII. We think SWB/ PRE is a truly interesting combination and we look forward to seeing this offspring move!

   
As my parents bred the swedish warmblood for 39 years, and I did a college degree in Flyinge National Stud, I have to present my favourite Flyinge studstallion; Master 850. He was trained by Kyra Kurklund that also competed him international toplevel. He won his World Cup debute and out of the 21 competed he won 18. FEI ranked him 7th best stud stallion 2007-2008. Some of his top offspring are Max (Kyra Kyrklund), Tip Top (Leslie Morse USA),  Master Mind (Natalie zu Sayn Wittgenstein, Denmark), Vivo (Maria Von Essen, Sweden). His movements are supreme and it is a joy to watch these two dance together!
