Dressage Sporthorse Breeding Program
Simply put, we breed to improve the quality and ride-ability of the Oldenburg horse. We are looking to produce sound horses with three good gaits and excellent dispositions and trainability. Our horses are handled daily from birth, learn to stand for the farrier, lead, trailer and manage easily the daily routine of the farm. They are interested in people and frankly magnificent to watch. Orion's owner, Katherine Heller, imported our foundation mare, Casablanca, from Germany in 2001. Casablanca was purchased with the advice and guidance of Paul Wendln, Creator of a famous "C" line of mares in Oldenburg and the breeder of several approved stallions. Since then Casablanca has had five foals for us almost all premium rated. Casablanca has a fantastic disposition and she imparts that to her babies without exception. Casablanca is by Lafitte out of a Furioso II mare.
Katherine is currently riding and showing Raphael, Casablanca's 2002 son by Rubin Royal with tremendous success. Elizabeth King is riding and showing Cassandra, Casablanca's 2001 daughter by Sandro Hit to accolades from judges and spectators alike. We have several youngsters currently available for sale. Please see our sales page.

In 2007 we added Feine Koenigen ("Grace") to our broodmare barn. Grace is by the incomparable Feiner Stern out of a Mecklenberg mare. Grace is a super nice mare who presented us in July with a filly by Sagnol (Sandro Hit) who nothing less than spectacular. Please see the sales page if you are interested in Fiona - we will be rebreeding to Sagnol early in 2008.
