Furst Fiona ESH in Foal to Contucci Furst Fiona is in foal to Contucci for 2025. She is a gorgeous mare by Furst Impression (Furst Heinrich / Regazzoni / Weltmeyer) and out of the mare, VT Kudos (Arrian/Weinstein). Furst Fiona was reserve filly at a very competitive Hanoverian inspection. Top 5 in the country in the 2017 Yearling Hanoverian Futurity. Reserve champion in the country for the 2018 Hanoverian Futurity! Her sire, Furst Impression, is a fantastic stallion that is producing phenomenal sporthorse prospects. His bloodlines are like reading the “Who’s Who” of Dressage stallions! Florestan l, Donnerhall, Rubinstein, Weltmeyer, Argentan – all wrapped up in one stallion! He finished his 100 day stallion testing at Paxton with a very impressive score of 122 points. His youngsters are eye-catching and wonderfully elastic, with talent for the dressage ring and over fences. Her dam, VT Kudos, is a very pretty registered Oldenburg mare, though she is 100% Hanoverian by breeding and approved into the Main Mare Book of the American Hanoverian Society. She is by Arrian (Al Capone/Orbis) and out of the mare, Champagne Flight (Weinstein/Furka). Al Capone was a highly regarded Celle stallion and member of the Celle Stallion Quadrille, while his sire, Argentan, was known for producing dressage and show jumping horses. Arrian scored 8’s and 9’s on character, temperament, and willingness to work in his performance test. He has competed successfully in breed shows, dressage, and hunters. After his first foal crop, the inspectors commented “it is hard for us to imagine a better first foal crop for any young stallion”. His foals have also included many top foals...

Saoirse Fun, flashy and talented! Saoirse is a 2017 Hanovarian mare by Hilltop’s Sternlicht out of Lendon Gray’s mare “Darma”. Her bloodlines say a lot about the quality this mare has. Both her sire and her dam are proven performance horses. Saoirse got a well rounded start on the ground and riding as a 3/4 year old in our program. She had a long break due to the owner’s personal reasons and therefore does not have a recognized show record. Since the summer of 2023 she’s been in full work again and is making great progress. We took her to a schooling show just before the winter and she was an absolute gem. She could certainly make a great show horse for someone who enjoys going to competitions or just likes to ride in clinics as she is great to ride offsite. This mare would be a great fit for someone who wants a safe horse that is sensitive and talented enough to develop up the levels. She is very sweet but no pushover and appreciates a kind, patient rider. We have known this horse for a long time and despite being sensitive she has always been very trustworthy. I would love to see this mare go to a loving home where she continues to be developed to her potential with her own person. She’s currently schooling 2nd level she is ready to show 1st level. She has great ground manners, enjoys jumping, playing with obstacles and happily hacks out by herself. Saoirse currently lives in a small herd with other mares, is shod up front and up to...
