WSH Broodmares

Our broodmares are a wonderful group of mares. We breed for amateur friendly temperaments with exceptional pedigrees and movement.  Our mares enjoy large paddock turn out and a leisurely life together, while receiving the best feed and care to ensure healthy mares and safe foal development.  All of our foals are handled daily from birth, receive their vaccinations and deworming, and are evaluated shortly after birth by a farrier who specializes in foal growth and development. We want our foals and young horses to be easy to handle by their new families, so we ensure constant handling, picking up feet, grooming, learning to tie and/or cross tie, trailer loading, and handling by vets/farriers. While still with their mothers we regularly stable them overnight, and after they're weaned we continue to stable them overnight until they are yearlings to ensure they are comfortable in stalls. We try and make the weaning process easier by having the mares and foals in paddocks beside each other, so they can see each other over the fence during weaning, and have found this reduces the stress and anxiety for all of them.  We have had many happy customers who have reported to us how easily their youngster has adapted to their new environment and routine.   

Eclipse

Eclipse is our foundation mare, and what an exceptional mare and producer she has been for us! She is a solid 16.3h liver chestnut mare by the German dressage stallion Ehrentusch/Amor and was imported from Germany as a young horse.  Eclipse was started as a dressage horse in Germany and unfortunately sustained an injury that prevented her from competing.  This mare passes on her calm and quiet personality along with a fantastic work ethic, her foals are all sweet natured and easy to work with. Eclipse's sire Ehrentusch won his performance test with top results in all categores, proving the marvelous versitillity of this line.   Eclipse has had four lovely foals for us, Godiva WSH, Goldwyn WSH, Devon WSH and Don Quixote WSH, all show great talent for the dressage ring and have lovely easy dispositions.  Eclipse is approved for breeding by the Hanoverian Verband.  Eclipse has been retired and will live her days with us.  She is such a good mother that she will take on other mares foals and just loves the babies.  She is an irreplaceable mare who could easily be used as a surrogate, and who we routinely use at weaning time to make the weanlings more comfortable during their difficult transition.  She has taken other mares foals to inspections and looked after them as if they were her own, guiding them, protecting them, and being a strong leader to them making them relaxed and at ease. Pictured below is Eclipse with another mares foal at a Hanoverian inspection, guiding her through the process with a quiet kindness:
