Huge congratulations to Alex and his mare Valkyrie QTM (Visage Van de Olmenhoeve / Conquest van de Helle) for taking first place in their last dressage competition with an impressive score of 72.885%! 

The judge even thought she was a dressage-bred horse! Hard work and talent truly make a winning combination. 

We're thrilled to announce that our charismatic young colt, Viking QTM, has captured the heart of Parth from Ontario, Canada! 

Viking has been an absolute character at our farm, winning everyone over with his famous 'velcro' personality and endless charm. From day one, he's been that special foal who made everyone smile with his impressive built and determination to 'supervise' every farm activity - following us around like a devoted shadow! 

What makes this match even more special is that Viking will continue his early development here at our Farm before joining his new family. He'll be developed as a jumper prospect while remaining intact.

His sweet temperament, combined with his outstanding athletic abilities, promises an exciting future in the sport horse world. We're beyond grateful 

to continue being part of his journey! 

Cheers! 

 Wrap-Up of the Inspection Day at Quantum Farm 

First, a big thank you to everyone who came out to help us today during the Westfalen inspection! With six horses to present, we definitely needed all hands on deck to ensure everything ran smoothly. We also want to express our gratitude to the friends who couldn't be here but sent us words of encouragement—they were very much appreciated. 

We are thrilled to share that our mare Belle Annee (by Cassini I) earned the title of "Premium Mare." Our other two mares, Marilyn Monroe EV (by Morgengold II) and Beaulieu's Quadrella Girl (by Beaulieu's Quissini), were just 0.1 point away from the same distinction. 

Viking QTM (Viscount x Cirque du Soleil) made an impression as a "Premium Foal" despite his young age, and both Cassiopée QTM and Cérès QTM received excellent comments.

We'd also like to extend a special thanks to Otto for making the trip to our farm and taking the time to share his insights on breeding. It was a fantastic day all around!

As we go through our journey as a sport horse breeder, I have noticed that our clients are very selective and educated about their future sport horse. People are looking for well-bred and sustainable athletes from proven lines (from the dam side as well!) so they can build a long-term partnership.

Our last move was carried out specifically to achieve this goal…

Introducing the newest member of our barn: the imported Holsteiner mare Belle Annee. Belle Annee is by the legendary Cassini I out of a mare by Gaspari. Her captivating demeanor and stunning gaits drew us in. We strive to produce some upper-level jumper prospects with this special mare. 

As the breeding season comes to an official close, we would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to all those who expressed interest in Corteo. A special thank you goes out to those who entrusted us with his inaugural year as a stud. Our special stallion has bred various types of mares across North America, promising an exciting mix of offspring. We eagerly await observing which of Corteo's exceptional traits will be inherited by his descendants. 

Furthermore, we would like to acknowledge the invaluable contributions of the Tiara Equine team whose dedication has propelled Corteo's development significantly. The golden nugget showed immense talent in jumping and displaying beautiful regular gaits, unwavering courage, and remarkable athleticism. 

Lastly but certainly not leastly, our deepest gratitude goes out Debra from Iron Equine Reproduction for her unwavering professionalism and dependability throughout the breeding season. Debra consistently went above and beyond expectations by accommodating mare owners' needs promptly - even arranging collections on the same day or during weekends

Spoiler alert… Corteo will remain at Tiara Equine for the upcoming 2024 season. With ambitious goals in mind, we believe he has a formidable team to achieve them.

Introducing the newest member of our broodmares band: Beaulieu's Quadrella Girl. Quadrella is by Beaulieu's Quissini (Quidam de Revel / Cassini I / Bold Indian xx) and Beaulieu's Copacabana (Dobel's Cento / Accord II / Pilot).

Thank you to Carlo from Beaulieu Farm to let us acquire such a fine horse. We are really excited about producing some fancy hunter/jumper with this special mare in the future.

Corteo has left our facilities and is now standing at Tiara Equine, near Toronto, Canada! 

Our golden nugget will be trained by the FEI dressage rider, Meagan Maloney, and will be collected by Iron Horse Equine Reproduction Services.
