  • Start with exceptional broodmares of superior bloodlines and match them with some of the finest Hanoverian stallions in Germany and the USA. Our mares are mostly Elite or States Premium Hanoverian mares and select warmblood mares who are accepted into the Hanoverian mare registry.

  • Superior nutrition plan coupled with plenty of exercise in large fields where youngsters and mares can socialize and play in a healthy manner. Each individual is fed in a private stall to ensure that they get exactly the nutrition they need and with plenty of hands-on attention.

  • Establish training as an enjoyable part of the daily life of all of our horses. This includes imprint training a day after birth reinforced with daily ground training, introduction to age-appropriate training tasks beginning at the suckling age and then gentle introduction to an enjoyable cross-training program. This training program provides the foundation for our youngsters to develop a mild temperament and a willing, engaging attitude that will enable them to become loving equestrian partners.
