The Proud Papas - and Papas to Be

At HAF we select the stallions we use for their temperaments as well as their conformation, athletic abilities and ability to pass on these traits to their offspring. We feel that without a trainable mind, even the most talented horse won’t go far, or go happily.

The horses below are the sires of our foals and/or future sires of foals. We hope that you enjoy learning about them. Please click on a picture below to go to a page with more information on each stallion.

Please note that we do NOT own these lovely stallions.

They are the fathers of our foals, but are owned by others. You will find links to most of them on the Links page or on their own pages on this site. Be sure to visit their cyber homes!

Papas for 2008


	Fidertanz is by Fidermark a son of Florestan who quickly ascended the ladder to FEI levels. His damline is Ravallo/ Fruehlingstraum II, bringing versatility to his pedigree. Based on the quality of his foals, Fidertanz won the 1a Premium award. Wolkenstanza had a gorgeous colt by this lovely fellow in February 2008. Meet Fidelio on his own page.

	Hotline is a Hanoverian stallion by the Trakehner stallion Hofrat out of a DeNiro/ Wendepunkt mare. He won his 70 day test with huge scores. Rohanna presented us with Hot to Trot, a beautiful bay colt by him January 29th. Click his picture for lots more information.
	Rascalino is a son of one of our previously used sires, Rotspon. He was winner of his stallion testing and has produced a first foal crop notable for type, movement and temperament. We leased Frolichkeit to our friend Andrea Hayden who bred her to this lovely boy for 2008. She had a gorgeous red headed filly in February. Click his picture for lots more information.
	Blue Hors Romanov is by Rohdiamant, the sire of our excellent mare Rohanna. He is the full brother of the well known Oldenburg stallion Rubin Royal. Already Romanov has established a successful dressage performance record and an excellent foal crop. We had planned to breed Dessin RA to him in 2007, but will save him for next year and EM Diva.

	Royal Prince is owned by Hilltop Farm. He is a son of Rohdiamant, the sire of our excellent mare Rohanna. His damsire is the much missed Thoroughbred improvement sire Prince Thatch. We bred EM Diva to this lovely young stallion were thrilled with the resulting colt, Royal Don, born in March 2008. Click his picture for lots more information.
	Pablo (Pilot/ Matrox/ Lancelot) offers an exciting new direction for our mares. Known for siring horses with dual abilities in jumping and in dressage, we had chosen him for Dessin RA for 2007. Unfortunately, the breeding gods did not look kindly on that lovely mare. We will use Pablo with EM Wintermaske in 2008. Click his picture for lots more information.
	Rubizza was rebred to Fabuleux in 2007 for a sibling to her filly Fantastica. She is due in late May 2008.

Papas for 2007

Fabuleux is by the versatile sire Fabriano out of SPS Auguste (Augustinus xx / Absatz). SPS Auguste is the queen of her owner's farm in Germany. At his testing in Adelheidsdorf he made a score of 130 plus points in the dressage portion, with scores of 9 for walk, trot, temperament, willingness to work and a 10 for his canter. SPS Blanche A produced a lovely filly by him in June 2005 which was very sadly lost at two months of age. Rubizza had a gorgeous filly by him in May 2007 foal, and she is bred back to him for 2008.

Stedinger (Sandro Hit/ Landadel) is one of Sandro Hit's best producing young stallion sons. In two short foal seasons he has made a name for himself with dark, elegant, correct and elastic foals. He is the papa of Soliloquy, our beautiful Wintermaske, daughter born April 14, 2006. Soliloquy was named "best filly" at her foal inspection. Wintermaske had another top quality Stedinger foal in May 2007, the stunning black colt, Scorpio.

Papas whose daughters we have kept

Weltbekannt, a son of Weltmeyer, is one of our favorite sires. He is the father of our four fillies EM Wintermaske, Wonderful World , Waltz With Me , and Welcome Home out of our top mare Rubizza. Weltbekannt competed with success through Grand Prix dressage. Click his picture for lots more information.

We will certainly breed to this lovely fellow again and again.

Wolkentanz I (Weltmeyer/ Ludendorff/ Aristides) is undoubtedly one of Weltmeyer's best sons. His offspring have become well known for their typeyness, excellent gaits, willingness under saddle and rideability. He is the sire of our keeper 2004 filly Wolkenstanza out of Rohanna. That filly made the stunning overall score of 8.5 at her mare inspection, the highest score given by the AHS in fifteen years. Needless to say, Rohanna will have future dates with this stallion.

This is definitely a cross to repeat. Click his picture for lots more information.
