View from home.
One of the great things about breeding horses is to be able to look out and see all the mares and foals grazing peacefully.

Breeding 2011
Breeding Season
With five of our seven mares with foals we are into breeding season. One more foal is to come, Vuzarma bred to the jumper stallion Eldorado is due in early July.
We have bred Zinosa to Johnson and she will be ready for early preg check next week. We like this years foal , a colt, also by Johnson. This gives Jazz on both sides of the pedigree and some Contango influence from the mare sire Tango. The foal is very supple and is showing a very expressive trot and we like his canter.
Veganieta has had a second foal by Contango. This time was a chestnut filly and we are again very pleased with this mating. The yearling Contango/Jazz from Veganieta is developing well and living up to expectations. However, we plan to breed her to Florencio this year. The mare is vaccinated EVA so no problem there. We saw the Charmeur , Florencio/Jazz and we also saw a number of Florencio young horses at DG Bar KWPN/Na annual meeting. We think Florencio should be uses on a mare that is tall and has good body length. The Florencio , Zia, which we bought and is now with Erin MacQuarie has a super hind leg. We would like another foal that steps under like her.
Virginia (Welt hit II/Zeoliet) had the second Sandreo foal this year. This is a refined dressage type foal and follows last years Fiero in both type and movement. Virgina also has two earlier foals by Donnatelli. We have one Donnatelli breeding in our tank and we plan to use it on Virginia.
We plan to breed Florentina to Johnson this year. This is influenced by Demarko a Johnson son now three years old and developing well. He was bought by Andrea Taylor in British Columbia and she sends us regular pictures of him. The other possibility which we considered very seriously for Florentina was Sir Oldenburg with the two previous foal Espertina and Forte.We may go back to Sir Oldenburg next year.
Virtual Rose produced a very nice filly be Sandreo this year but we are planning to breed her to a jumper stallion this year as we are not producing many foals from jumping lines. Vy free jumped very well herself and her sire Idocus had a high jumping index. Her grand sire Quattro had a super jumping career and with Voltair on her sire side she has the genetics to produce a jumper. At this time we are planning to breed her to the Clinton son Eldorado.
Vuzarma is still to foal to Eldorado. We plan to breed her back to this tall, successful sire.
Waltzilina will be bred again to Sandreo. She has produced good foals by Donnatelli, Johnson and Sandreo. After some serious thought we are going to Sandreo again for her. Crispin is doing very well and we like her Sandreo foal this year.
That is the current thinking on choices for stallions for this year.

Mares and foals.
There are a lot of ups and down in horse breeding but one of the greatest "ups" is seeing a group of horses grazing on pasture. this is the view from our living room and a lot of good time is wasted watching the foals play. We now have five of the six expected foals. Yesterday was the arrival of the third Sandreo filly of the year from our Welt Hit II mare. We only have one mare to go wtih the Hamlet mare due to Eldorado early in July.

Foal names
We have had two of our expected six foals here at New Perth farms. This is the "G" year for KWPN registrations.
The first foal was a colt from Zinosa (Tango/ Purioso) by the Jazz son Johnson. This gives us double Jazz in his pedigree as Tango is also a Jazz son. Zinosa's pedigree is at http://www.paardenfokken.nl/pedigree.php?horseid=285189 We are extremenly pleased with this colt and should have some more video of him later in the week. We have decided on a name, Great Gatsby NPF.
The second foal was a dark bay filly from Virtual Rose, (Idocus/Quattro/Cocktail). She is quite elegant and has many of the features we see in our Sandreo offspring which include a very pretty head and neck and light in their movement. With the mare lines we like to carry the name of the mare line foreward. "Vy" has an interesting pedigree which can be seen at http://www.paardenfokken.nl/pedigree.php?horseid=397742 We have named the filly Gypsy Rose NPF

Looking ahead 2011
Its winter and we are looking foreword to spring foaling/breeding and summer training.
This time of year we are thinking about breeding combinations for next year. Like other breeders we all start out with a “wish list” that includes a lot of new stallions. This goes to a “short list” and we are at that stage this time of the year. We look at the criteria for stallions which we will use next year. We tend to be conservative breeders in that we like to go with stallions which have proven themselves and we have seen the offspring. Then we push out a bit with some new blood.
We normally use all frozen semen due to our location and success with frozen. It is difficult to get fresh from the USA on a dependable basis with the possibilities of hiccups in border clearance. Also, our location at the Eastern end of the country does not help fresh semen delivery. We do not consider this a disadvantage as we have had good success with frozen semen over the years. Our over all conception rate with frozen has been 65% since was started in 2004. We use a lot of Team Nijhof stallions because we like their stallions and the logistics of working with one supplier makes it a lot simpler.
At this time we are looking for more breedings to Sandreo because we really like our Sandreo horses. Lots of athletic ability and very trainable making them just the horse for amateur rider but they look like they will have the talent to do higher levels. Our oldest (Bastion) is five this year and we like what we see. There are three mares due to Sandreo for this year. We have another pregnancy to Johnson and we plan to use him again this year. We would like to have a Florencio. We imported one Ziane , now with Erin MacQuarie and showing the super hind leg which is his trademark. The Florenco/Jazz we saw at the stallion show last year makes us think we should breed our Jazz mare to Florencio. We think he needs a long mare of a good height. We will probably breed Vuzarma back to Eldorado depending on what her fold this year. That is where our thinking is at this time.
For training this year we have four horses under saddle. Wiseman (Lord Sinclair/Lancet), now eight, is in Virginia with Martha. She also has the four year old Calypso (Sandreo/Jazz) in training. Bastion (Sandreo/Floristan) , five year old , is in training with Meg in Truro. We expect to have these three to develop and show for next season. We will have two to start this summer. We normally saddle and sit on the two year olds. This year we have Excalibur (Donnatelli/Welt Hit II) and Enieta (Brentano II/Jazz) to start.
With six of our seven brood mares to foal,starting in May,we will have a busy summer.

Winter and the horses are enjouing it !!
Winter here in PEI has been easy so far with the temperature seldom much below freezing. We have a nice snow cover compared to the earlier extra long mud season. The horses enjoy this weather much more that rain and a bit of sunshine would be even better.
This group will be 2 years old in May-June/2011
