Quantum Farm's news
Carefully Bred, Eagerly Awaited
We’re happy to share that Belle Annee (v. Cassini I) has been confirmed in foal to Viscount (Valentino / Acorado)!
This pairing was one we were deeply excited about for our own program — the kind of foal you dream of keeping. But sometimes, the right people come along. This foal is already spoken for and will be raised by a family of horse people we love and trust. We couldn’t be happier knowing this future hunter prospect is going exactly where it belongs.
Viscount is a striking Hanoverian stallion by Valentino, out of an Acorado x Imperator damline. He offers scope, power, and refinement, paired with a kind temperament and three expressive gaits. Viscount has sired 5 approved sons, 3 in the hanoverian stud book, 31 state premium mares/cadidates, as well as a large number of auction horses and foals.
Belle Annee is an imported Holsteiner mare by the legendary Cassini I, sire of top international jumpers like Cumano, Carino, and Berlin.
We expect this foal to be a well-framed, uphill, and expressive hunter prospect — one that combines refinement with athletic substance and the presence to stand out in the ring.
Thank you to this wonderful family for trusting our program again.
Second Pregnancy Confirmed !
We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that Quick Silver (v. Quick Star) is confirmed in foal to On Ira by Voltaire (Joyau d’Or A / Almé) for a 2026 foal!
At 18 years old, Quick Silver — a competitive Selle Français mare who jumped to the 1.35m level — has certainly kept us on our toes. She’s been a challenge in more ways than one this past years, which is why this confirmed pregnancy feels like a true gift. We’re keeping everything crossed that things continue to go well, because this foal is bred to be an absolute athlete.
On Ira is a 2002 Selle Français stallion by the legendary Voltaire, out of Baby Boom IV by Joyau d'Or A, who himself is by Alme. On Ira is a maternal half-brother to the 1.60m Elite Stallion Krack Boom.
Some career highlights for On Ira include:
• Double clear and a finalist at Fontainebleau as a 6-year-old with Timothée Anciaume
• Double clear at the World Championships in Lanaken as a 7-year-old
• Qualified for the Grand Prix de la Baule at 8, named the best 8-year-old at CSIO de La Baule
• 6th in the French PRO 1 Elite Championship in 2010 and faultless at the World Stallion Championships in Lanaken the same year
• At 9, under Cian O’Connor, he became a Grand International Winner, jumping a remarkable 2.20m in the Puissance at CSIO Rome and ranking 2nd at CSIO Dublin.
This cross should result in a top-tier jumper, with a combination of bloodlines renowned for producing exceptional athletes with explosive power and heart.
First Pregnancy Confirmed for the 2026 season!
Beaulieu’s Quadrella Girl (Quissini x Dobel’s Cento) is officially in foal to Viscount (Valentino x Acorado)!
We’re really excited about this cross — especially after seeing what Viscount gave us in Viking QTM, our 2024 Premium colt. Viking is everything we hoped for: confident, correct, modern, and powerful, with a lovely uphill canter and natural balance.
Viscount is a striking Hanoverian stallion by Valentino, out of an Acorado x Imperator damline. He offers scope, power, and refinement, paired with a kind temperament and three expressive gaits. Viscount has sired 5 approved sons, 3 in the hanoverian stud book, 31 state premium mares/cadidates, as well as a large number of auction horses and foals. He has 246 registered Hanoverian offspring out in sport and has sired S level horses in both Jumping and Dressage, as well as multiple successful event horses and here in North America, Viscount already has many successful offspring in the hunter ring.
We’re looking forward to welcoming a great hunter/jumper prospect from this cross in 2026! Fingers crossed the pregnancy continues to go smoothly.
May 4th, 2025 - She’s here!
After 338 days of waiting, our beautiful buckskin filly made her arrival last night.
By Corteo W5 (Cyklon 1083 / For Play) out of Marilyn Monroe EV (Morgengold II / Blue Eyed Dream), she’s a full sister to Cassiopée QTM—and the resemblance is already striking.
Strong, curious, and full of life, she’s just starting to explore the world, but we have a feeling she’ll be turning heads before long. With her confident attitude and promising conformation, she’s already showing signs of what we strive for in our breeding program.
Both mare and foal are doing well so far, and we’ll continue to monitor them closely to ensure everything stays on track. She may be our only foal for the 2025 season, but she’s made a big impression. Sometimes, one is all it takes.
Cheers to Calypso QTM!
January 29th, 2025 - Viking QTM found his new home home
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!
November 8th, 2024 - Cassiopée QTM found her new home
We’re beyond thrilled that our beautiful buckskin filly, Cassiopée QTM, will be joining her new home in sunny Florida, USA! By the end of the month, she'll be heading south to begin her new life. She will be developed as a hunter, and we couldn’t be more excited for her future.
Cassiopée is particularly special to us, being our very first foal by our stallion Corteo W5. Like her siblings, she has inherited a sweet, curious, and endlessly friendly temperament. From her early days, she would trot up to greet us in the pasture and loved nuzzling up for a scratch. Her playful nature and trusting personality have made her a joy to be around.
We can’t wait to see Cassiopée flourish in her new home and make her mark in the hunter ring. Wishing her and her new team all the best on this wonderful journey!
Cheers!
September 11th, 2024 - Westfalen Inspection
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!
August 17th, 2024 - Introducing Viking QTM
We’re excited to announce the arrival of an impressive new colt born yesterday night at 9:25 PM. He is by the black Hanoverian stallion Viscount (Valentino / Acorado) out of our beloved buckskin mare, Cirque du Soleil (For Play / Bernstein).
This colt has made quite an entrance, impressing us with his size and correctness. After much thought, we've chosen the name Viking QTM, inspired by his strong and sturdy build.
Cirque du Soleil has a history of producing special offspring, including the licensed stallion Corteo W5 and the Premium filly First Lady QTM. We have every reason to believe that Viking QTM will follow in their exceptional footsteps.
July 14th, 2024 - Welcome to the world Cérès QTM
Introducing Cérès QTM, a beautiful bay filly born around 10:00AM today. This foal is by Corteo W5 out of Quadrella Girl (Quissini / Dobel's Cento / Acord II / Pilot).
Born after 320 days of pregnancy, which turned out to be rather stormy during the last few weeks , seeing this filly full of vigor today is, to put it mildly, an immense joy. We are very optimistic about her health but must remain vigilant during her first few days of life.
Thanks to everyone involved for helping us achieve this.
Cérès is the Roman goddess of agriculture, harvests, and fertility. Cérès is also a dwarf planet located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Thus, this name represents a profound connection between humanity and the earth, symbolizing both the mysteries of the universe and the essential cycles of nature and agriculture.
Cheers!
June 14th, 2024 - 2025 foal announcement
We are thrilled to share that our lovely mare, Marilyn Monroe, is expecting another foal with Corteo!
After being highly impressed by Cassiopée QTM, we knew without a doubt that we wanted to repeat this breeding for the upcoming year.
This foal will be available in-utero, but we may retain a double dilute. As Corteo is buckskin (E/e,A/A) and Marin palomino, the foal has 50% chance to be buckskin or palomino, 25% chance to be perlino or cremello and 25% chance to be bay or chestnut.

February 4th, 2024 - Welcoming a new broodmare
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…
