GOV Inspection August 12th, Rideauwood Farm

[airbourne1]

Here are some pictures from the recent inspection at Rideauwood Farm.

Our mare Risacci was Champion Mare, and was also awarded "Oldenburg Mare of Distinction".We were thrilled.... She is in foal to the stallion Furst Grandios.

The champion filly Forspiel was sired by For Compliment (Wanderbursch II Askan), and was bred by Rideauwood Farm.

A huge thanks to all those involved for hosting such a wonderful inspection.

Here is a link to the pictures....

Congrats! I look forward to hearing about your Fürst Grandios foal next year!

Your link requires a login, so I couldn't see your photos.

Congratulations! Risacci is a Riverman/Parabol daughter that was originally bred by Oldenburg Farm. She scored very high as a weanling at her inspection, so its wonderful to see her continue to show her class as a mature horse.

I just thought I would add some detail to the string that has already begun.

We hosted the Oldenburg Mare Inspection and Foal Registration on a beautiful, sunny day on August 12, 2009 at Rideauwood Farm.

We were fortunate to have Sarah Schröer and Bastian Scharmann from Germany as our inspectors. Their insight and advice regarding the mares, foals, and general breeding philosophy was appreciated by all.

On this day, 6 mares were presented. All 6 were accepted to the main mare book. As was highlighted earlier, Risacci (Riverman/Parabol), a 2004 Oldenburg mare was chosen as top mare and was recognized as a "Mare of Distinction".

As well, 10 foals were presented of which 5 were awarded Premium. These were:
-Russia 17/06/09 Filly Coromino/Rodero/Graf Grannus
Linda Weedmark
-Rhapsody 12/06/09 Filly Rodioso/Lomber/Akatschi
Linda Sadler
-Quartermoon 20/04/09 Colt Quattro B/Rheirattack/Don Primero
Rideauwood Farm
-Forspiel 09/06/09 Filly For Compliment/Wanderbursch II/Askan
Rideauwood Farm
-Galloper 20/05/09 Colt Granulit/Adorateur xx/Wily Walter xx
Dr. Gus Stringel & Dr. Andrea Stringel

Quartermoon, Forspiel, and Galloper were recognized as "Foals of Distinction".

Forspiel, a very athletic, powerful and rythmic filly, was recognized as the top foal at the auction. We were particularily delighted to have such positive feedback regarding our choice of For Compliment as a stallion for this particular mare.

In addition, a 3 and a 5 year old gelding from Belissimo M were presented under saddle, and a 3 year old gelding from Fuerst Grandios was presented in hand. Judging by the very positive response to these presentations, I think some stallion selection decisions for next year were made on the spot!!

All in all a very successful day!!
