Young Prospects

Werona AC
Wolkentanz II x Buenos Aires x Weinstock

 

2002 Hannoverian-registered filly bred in Denmark by Anders and Charlotte Groenborg from AC Breeding. Wolkentanz II was Reserve Champion of his stallion approvals and was a Bundeschampionate finalist twice with his rider and owner Johannes Westendarp. He has also proven himself as one of the leading sires in the German index, in spite of his young age. His offspring provide outstanding movement combined with high rideability and excellent confirmation. Werona combines the famous “W” line of Wolkentanz II with the Bolero line, who is the sire of Buenos Aires and also the sire of Beatriz Ferrer Salat’s Olympic mount Beauvalais and many other Grand Prix horses. This cross has produced numerous outstanding prospects, and we are confident Werona will develop to be another excellent example. She was selected as a foal for the Elite Foal Auction at Verden. Werona will remain in Denmark at the Groenborg’s farm until she is entered in a training program in Germany.

Royal Affair
Royal Diamond x Donnerhall x Prince Thatch XX

 

2002 Hannoverian stallion by Gestuet Vorwerk’s upcoming star Royal Diamond, full brother of Rohdiamant. Royal Diamond has already won numerous Prix St. Georges and several Grand Prix classes under Lisa Wilcox, and produced a large number of State Premium mares and approved stallions for different European studbooks. Royal Affair’s dam needs little introduction with regards to her impeccable breeding, with two of the most influential sires of German breeding: Donnerhall and Prince Thatch XX. True to this outstanding bloodlines Royal Affair is a substantial dark bay colt that already measures 1.68m as a two year-old and has the same type of breathtaking movement and presence as his sire. He was bred in Germany, purchased as a foal by Hans-Heinrich Bruening, and will remain at Hof Bruening until he is three years old, at which time he will enter a training program in that country.

Sandritano Van Hof Olympia
Sandro Hit x Silvano N x Calypso III

 

Sandritano was the top-priced foal at the 2004 Limburg auction. A year prior to that, his full sister Sandritana was also the top-priced foal at the same auction. Sandritano represents the combination of one of the most successful sires of all times, Sandro Hit, combined with the outstanding performance blood of the talented Olympic stallion Silvano N. Sandritano is a direct descendant of Inatana Las Marismas, out of her granddaughter P.Siltana Van Hof Olympia, who was herself Benelux Champion foal. This outstanding foal comes from the excellent breeding program of Henk and Iris Poettgens in Holland.

Rubitana Van Hof Olympia
Rubin Royal x Calypso III x Latano

 

Rubitana is from the same outstanding mother lines as Sandritano, both direct descendants of Las Marismas top mare Inatana. She was also bred at Hof Olympia in Holland by Henk and Iris Poettgens. In Rubitana’s case, she is by Inatana’s daughter La Quitana, who as a foal was Benelux champion and also European Reserve Champion. Her sire is Rubin Royal, a stallion that needs very little introduction, since he has produced numerous approved colts and premium mares in Germany. He is characterized for providing superior conformation and outstanding gaits in all his offspring, which is very much the case with Rubitana.
