Quater Twist WSH competed with amateur owner Naomi Williams at the Caledon Dressage Gold show, first level, and won her first class with a score of 70.5%. Her second class she had some slight tension and still scored over 68%! Quater Twist is proving to be a valuable sport horse and exceptional mare for breeding purposes. She had a 2022 foal through a recipient mare by Benicio while continuing to compete. The same weekend of the competition she was bred again to Benicio, but unfortunately did not produce an embryo. It does show how sensible and versatile Quater Twist is to be competing successfully while also being bred. Keep an eye on her for both future foals and in sport!

Quater Twist WSH's foal by Benicio, carried by recipient mare Gracie has arrived!! This colt is a stunning boy, with the sweetest of temperaments. We couldn't be happier with him, he is a correct boy, with big movement and big presence. He has some incredible markings and a beautiful face, which inspired his name Beyond Question WSH.

We are excited to announce that we have 3 exciting foals coming for 2022! With so many exceptional stallions available to Canadian breeders it's always difficult to decide which stallion will pair best with each mare, but we chose stallions who we believe will compliment our mares to produce exceptional dressage horses! For Quater Twist WSH (Quaterhall/Glorioso Noir) we chose Benicio (Belissimo M). This should produce a solid, leggy, big moving foal. The foal should finish around 17h, will be chestnut (fingers crossed for liver, both parents are liver chestnut), and will also likely be colourful! The foal is being carried by a recipient mare Gracie who is very sweet natured and kind. Quater Twist will continue her performance career. For Wruby (Wellesley/Rotspon) we chose Cadeau Noir (Christ/De Niro) who should add some more freedom of shoulder and an active hind end. The foal should finish around 16.2-17h, and will be bay or black (Cadeau Noir is homozygous dark). For Godiva WSH (Glorioso Noir/Ehrentusch) we chose Von und Zu (Vitalis/Floriscount) the young and upcoming stallion with a stacked pedigree! Von und Zu shows an open front end, active hind end, and in a refined and compact package. We are hoping Von und Zu will refine, but time will tell! The foal will hopefully be in the 16.2-17h range, but could be larger because of Godiva's substantial size, and could be any colour. All mares and stallions are tested and not carriers for WFFS. For more information and photos of our Hanoverian broodmares, please take a look at our page dedicated to them. If you're interested in one of our 2022 foals, please contact us. We have the Quater Twist WSH/Benicio colt option only foal available, and depending on how many colts vs fillies are born, we may have one of the other two available!

Secret Rendezvous WSH was presented for her Hanoverian inspection with her recipient mother Gala, who calmly showed her off around the ring. She was awarded the prestigious Gold Medal foal, with many compliments from the judges about her femininity, type, and her quality gaits. This filly is by Secret, and out of Quater Twist WSH (Quaterhall/Glorioso Noir) through a lovely recipient mare. Secret Rendezvous is a carbon copy of her mother Quater Twist in frame, gaits, and type. Quater Twist is continuing her training under saddle while producing quality foals through embryo transfers. She has a foal by Benicio coming in 2022 through a recipient mare.

Our Premium Hanoverian mare Quater Twist WSH made her dressage debut this year under the talented Inga Hamilton, and she did not disappoint! Quater Twist scored as high as 76.4% in her first weekend in the ring!! Q scored some 9s for her gaits, and even a perfect 10 for some of her trot work! Q had recently returned to work under saddle after delivering her first foal in 2020. Q will continue on training and proving herself in competition, while producing some incredible foals for us through embryo transfer. Thank you to Inga Hamilton for doing such a beautiful job training and riding Q while we have been incredibly busy working in health care through the pandemic. Inga made Q's first experiences very positive with great results!

Our much anticipated foal for 2021 arrived on a beautiful summer day, outside in the early afternoon, with people and horses surrounding her. The lovely recipient mare Gala delivered Quater Twists' filly by Secret and is an incredible mom to the filly Secret Rendezvous WSH. This new filly did not disappoint, she is a gorgeous filly who looks so much like her dam Quater Twist. See the video of her birth below if you're interested in watching a foal born.

Day 2 of the Parkwood inspections was all about the foals! We brought Quidditch WSH (Quaterhall/Wellesley/Rotspon) and wow were there a lot of fantastic foals!! There were 28 foals entered, 24 of those were dressage foals!! We were fortunate that our boy decided to perform and show his talent, and the judges commented he was the best moving foal of the day! Comments included he had a relaxed and supple quality walk, uphill trot through his body, and correct legs and gaits. Quidditch WSH won the top scoring foal and top dressage foal title!! He won Champion foal and received his Gold Medal Foal award as well. We couldn't be more proud with how Quidditch handled himself in the new environment and the presence he carried in the ring. Quidditch was sold in utero to an FEI rider who plans to take him to his full potential! Quidditch's dam Wruby is in foal to Belissimo M for a 2020 foal. Wruby has been an excellent addition to our program and all 3 foals she's had with us have been exceptional quality and top foals at inspections. Her Belissimo M foal is available for sale in utero, please contact us for more details.

We brought our mare Quater Twist WSH to Parkwood Stables in Rockwood Ontario for her mare performance test and the mare show with excellent results! She rose to the challenge and performed beautifully with Billie Boylen riding. She had fantastic scores and high praise from the judges Dr Ludwig Christmann from Germany, Sandy Hunt from USA, Ursula Hosking and Greta Haupt from Canada. Comments included that Quater Twist is what breeders should be aiming for in a dressage horse, an excellent type, long legged, elegant with a good neck set, correct legs, excellent walk and very good canter. She received her Premium candidate status and won the mare show!! I've known from the minute she was born that she was a special mare and couldn't be happier with how she performed. We are excited that Quater Twist WSH is also in foal to the exciting stallion Secret for next year, and hopefully that means she will complete her requirements for Premium mare. This incredible foal has a dressage stacked pedigree including Sezuan, Zack, Don Schufro, Quaterback, Donnerhall, Rotspon, Sandro Hit, and Glorioso Noir. Quater Twist/Secret foal is available for sale in utero, contact us for details.
Paige Howe also brought her mare Forget Me Not WSH (For Edition/Glorioso Noir) who is a 5 year old mare who we also bred, and sold as a 2 year old to Paige. She did a beautiful job particularly in the jump chute and also received her Premium mare candidate status!! Congratulations Paige!!

Godiva WSH made her 3rd level debut this summer and had a successful first couple of outings. She has come a long way and always puts forth a great effort. She won 3 out of the 4 national level classes she entered with very good comments from the judges. Godiva is a mare with a lot of presence and a big heart, we are proud of her progress! Godiva WSH is by Glorioso Noir/Ehrentusch. Look out for her next summer in the ring and perhaps even as an embryo donor!! If you think you might be interested in a foal from Godiva, please feel free to contact us and we can discuss the possibility, we already have some great stallions in mind!!

Quater Twist WSH did us proud at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair! She competed against an exceptional group of 3 year old horses and handled it like a pro! She strutted her stuff and placed 6th in the Lieutenant Governors Class, with many compliments from auditors and fellow competitors. This special girl will be retained by us to continue her under saddle training as a dressage horse and future broodmare. She will have a well deserved vacation over the winter to continue to grow and develop! This lady is still quite growthy, and at 17h already she needs more time to fill out, we expect her to be something really special with more time!
Our 3 year old mare Quater Twist WSH by Quaterhall/Glorioso Noir has officially qualified to compete in both the Governor Generals and Lieutenant Governors Cup Classes at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair! We are very proud of this mare and how well she has handled herself throughout the qualifying process. She has a fantastic temperament and super rideability for such a young horse with only a few months time under saddle. She was up against some exceptional young horses and did a great job. Special thank you to Garry Roque for handling her in the Governor Generals class qualifier. If you're heading down to the Royal on Nov 9th or 10th please feel free to visit us there and meet Q in person!

We went to the Hanoverian inspections last week at Parkwood Stables and we were so happy with how both boys behaved! The judges had a lot of nice compliments on our foals movement and behaviour. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful venue, thank you to Parkwood Stables for hosting such a lovely inspection!
June 13/18
Our second Quaterhall foal has arrived! In typical Gold Digger fashion she likes to deliver very early, at just 313 days pregnant! Gold Digger (Glorioso Noir/Merlin) delivered a flashy and absolutely huge colt! We are grateful he is healthy and happy, he is such an outgoing guy who already loves attention! This little man is available for sale, please inquire if interested.
Our first Quaterhall foal has arrived! This boy is quite the looker, and such a sweet temperament! Our mare Wruby (Wellesley/Rotspon) delivered him at 354 days pregnant! He was fully cooked and ready to see the world at birth, such a strong boy who was up and nursing by 1.5 hours old. We are so happy he is healthy and correct, as is his new owner who purchased him in utero. Congratulations to his new owner, an amateur dressage rider who has competed to PSG and was looking for her next partner to bring along.

We are very excited to announce that we are expecting 2 exciting foals by Quaterhall in 2018! Our mare Wruby (Wellesley/Rotspon) and our mare Gold Digger (Glorioso Noir/Merlin) are both in foal to the outstanding stallion Quaterhall (Quaterback/Donnerhall). We have had 3 foals by Quaterhall and have been extremely impressed with them, the 2 presented to Hanoverian inspections have both made the top dressage foal call back ring. This is the 4th combination of Gold Digger with Quaterhall, below are photos of the 3 previous combinations. Our 2017 Quaterhall/Gold Digger filly was purchased by a professional FEI dressage rider in the USA. Gold Digger is due mid June 2018. This is Wruby's second foal, first time combined with Quaterhall. Her first foal by Sagnol (Sandro Hit/Landadel) made the prestigious call back ring for top bred dressage foal, so we have great hopes for a quality foal from this combination. Wruby is due mid April 2018. Our foals by Quaterhall have exceptional movement, with fantastic easy temperaments. Both these foals will be for sale, inquire if interested in either of them, in utero sales will be considered.
October 29/17
Gloria WSH and amateur owner Naomi Williams have been getting reacquainted after a couple of years apart and Gloria is really starting to come into herself. Naomi took her to a dressage show on her own, and she loaded easily, warmed up well, and handled herself in the ring calmly and quietly. They ended up winning the first level test 1 class with a score over 65%, and second place in the first level test 2 class with several rider errors (yes, several!!!). We could not be more happy with how Gloria is handling herself away from home.
September 3/17
What a great day at the Parkwood Hanoverian inspection! Our foal Quater Karat by Quaterhall out of Gold Digger made the top 5 dressage and hunter foal call back, and was awarded 3rd place dressage foal and also recognized as a top hunter prospect in a large group of lovely foals! It was interesting taking a newly weaned foal to inspection, but our retired mare Eclipse stepped up and brought her through the whole process in a calm, confident and loving way. She has been treating Kara as if she is her own foal.
June 3/17
Our lovely mare Gold Digger has delivered her foal by Quaterhall (Quaterback/Donnerhall)! This filly is a big girl, healthy, correct and such a beautiful uphill mover! We are always relieved when our mares foal out safely and the foals are healthy and robust, we have been very fortunate this year to have both our mares safely delivered!
May 3/17
We love having our foals stay with us while they grow up! This is "Fancy This" a 2015 filly by Fabregas/Hilton GS/Wellington II, sold to a professional Grand Prix dressage rider in the USA.

This filly's full sister is available for sale, take a look at "Forastero" in the horses for sale page.

Cadbury is very relieved her pregnancy is done as this boy was big! "Artwork" sold at just 6 days old to a wonderful family who plan to show him as a hunter at national shows, and we couldn't be happier that he went to such a loving show home!
Mar 5/17
Godiva WSH with amateur owner Naomi Williams took part in a clinic with Justin Ridgewell and learned a lot while preparing Godiva for 3rd level. Godiva had a very successful show season last year at 2nd level and is preparing to move up. Thanks to Justin for the great advice and tips!

We had a very exciting day at Parkwood Stables Hanoverian inspection with our mare Wruby (Wellesley/Rotspon) and her filly Sebienne by Sagnol. Sebienne made the call back of the top 5 foals out of a very large and beautiful group of over 20 foals. The judges were very kind and commented that they loved her trot and how she uses her entire body when trotting, her feminine type and big eye, good conformation, long legs and good walk. She ended up placing 3rd of the dressage foals behind some very impressive Fabregas foals. Congratulations to all the breeders on presenting some exceptional foals. Congratulations also to Sebiennes new owners, they purchased this filly in utero and are a fabulous dressage home for this special filly!

July 24/16
Our first bred mare Godiva WSH made her Gold Second Level dressage debut as a 6 year old at the Caledon Equestrian Park. Godiva rose to the occasion and showed her maturity, temperament and movement despite the excessive heat warnings all weekend (40 degrees Celsius, for our American friends that's 104 degrees Fahrenheit!) and overwhelming new environment for her. We couldn't be more proud of this mare and her work ethic. She won a class and finished Reserve Champion for the weekend in a very competitive group! Godiva is by Glorioso Noir out of our foundation mare Eclipse (Ehrentusch), pictured below in travers and lengthened trot.
June 12/16
Our final foal for the year has arrived safely! We couldn't be more thrilled with this gorgeous colt by Quaterhall (Quaterback/Donnerhall) out of Gold Digger (Glorioso Noir/Merlin)!

They finished reserve champion in the division with very consistent scores. This was Gloria's first time showing at the Caledon Equestrian Park in Palgrave, so we are thrilled with the results at such a big venue, with many distractions around! Special thanks to Cali for doing such a wonderful job riding and presenting her. Gloria is available for sale, inquire if you're looking for a young dressage horse!
May 1/16
Our second foal of the year has arrived! She was a couple of weeks late, and a very difficult delivery for her maiden mother Wruby, but is a powerful and big moving filly. This filly is by Sagnol (Sandro Hit) out of Wruby (Wellesley/Rotspon) and unfortunately they spent the first week in hospital, with Wruby recovering from the traumatic birth. They are both now home safe and sound, with a clean bill of health! Thanks to Dr Patrick Hearn and the wonderful team at Milton Equine for the extraordinary care she received.
Apr 23/16
We are thrilled that our 2016 foal out of Cadbury by Fabregas has arrived safely! Both mom and baby are doing very well, with an early but otherwise uneventful foaling.

Apr 4/16
Rising 5 year old Gloria WSH is now in professional training with Cali Radbourne and getting ready for her dressage debut in the summer of 2016. Cali took Gloria to a bronze show for some experience, and had a successful outing. Gloria got a lot of great life experience, and even placed 2nd in one of her classes in the open division. Rising 6 year old Godiva WSH also went, ridden by Naomi Williams and won her first class, and placed second in the second class, finishing reserve Champion in the second level open division for the weekend. There is still a lot of preparation to be done for this upcoming show season, but we are very pleased with how the ladies did on their first outing this year. Pictured below is Gloria WSH and Cali Radbourne.

We are very proud of our first bred mare Godiva WSH. She is a 5 year old Hanoverian mare by Glorioso Noir/Ehrentusch who was season Champion in the Caledon Dressage series, ridden by amateur owner Naomi Williams. This mare won multiple classes through the season, and scored as high as 70% in First Level, and as a result also earned her bronze medal at First Level with Dressage Canada. We are excited about the future for this lovely amateur friendly mare. Many thanks to Inga Hamilton for her coaching throughout the season, it most certainly would not have been possible if it wasn't for her expertise. Thanks to Bahr Saddlery for the beautiful cooler!
Sept 15/15

One of our Hanoverian broodmares Gold Digger delivered a beautiful, correct and flashy colt by the German Hanoverian stallion For Edition. This boy will make a wonderful upper level dressage or jumper prospect with his exceptional bloodlines. His sire For Edition was the convincing winner of the 2003 performance test at Adelheidsdorf. For Edition was second in the jumping component with a jumping index of 134, and third overall in the dressage component with a dressage index of 132. This combined gave him the lead with a total index of 147.8, a massive eight points ahead of the second horse. He is known for his refining influence and produces superior athletes.

Massage Therapy and the rider:
Come join us at Kaiser Stud on April 24/11 at 10 a.m! Karen Thiemer is a registered massage therapist who will be doing a demonstration with Naomi Williams on how massage therapy can correct posture and how the rider's position can effect the horse's performance. Karen will be trying to correct 15 years of bad posture on Naomi!! Karen is a massage therapist and also a rider who specializes in how riders effect their horses, and what can be done to try to improve the connection allowing the horse to perform at it's best. Karen will video tape the rider to evaluate posture and determine what the source of any issues are, then do a treatment on the rider to address any problems she finds, and repeat the video tape to see the difference the treatment has made. Everyone is welcome to come watch what Karen does, and can meet her in person to ask any questions they may have. Karen works out of Aurora but travels to farms to evaluate riders and their horses. If you would like to contact Karen directly, she can be reached by e-mail at karen.slater@rogers.com or by phone at 905-713-2138. Directions to Kaiser Stud can be found at http://www.kaiserstud.com/
