4th May - Double trouble! Following weeks of waiting Severn Magic finally foals down 1 year and 4 days after her covering date! She has a healthy bay filly at 0.15am followed within the hour by Sahiba with a lovely dark dun colt. See pictures on our Foals Due 2008 page.
27th April - Bibi Sahiba foals down a few days early and gives us another filly. See here for details.
26th April - Raz (Numero Uno) has landed safely in Australia! He now has a 3 week quarantine period in Melbourne and then sets out on his very long road journey to his new home.
18th April - Sadly Joker (Yellow Gram's colt foal) couldn't win against the infection that raged around his body and, despite all our efforts and his brave fight, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to put him to sleep. He will be missed.
1st April - Numero Uno (Raz) leaves us to begin his long journey to Australia.
31st March - at a very sociable 9.15pm Poppy finally foals an adorable and huge bay leopard filly. See Foals due 2008 for details of all these foals.
30th March - our 2nd foal of the year, still not the one we are waiting for - a strapping and very good looking bay based few spot colt is born out of Yellow Gram and by Harley.
15th March - our first foal of the year arrives - Elektra foals early and unexpectedly but her filly is safe and sound and a real cutie!

6th April 2007 - Another Fewspot Colt!
|
|
Is it going to be a fewspot year???? Yellow Gram foaled a substantial few spot colt during the night of 6th April 2007 By Nobodys
Harlequin who passed not only his KNN grading, (achieving a premium
score of 8 in both Classic and Sport horse categories) but also his
Performance test and his BSJA Assessment in October 2006 with flying
colours. His performance score was the highest of ALL KNN stallions in
2006! Out of Yellow Gram KNN 1983, Yellow combines the Knabstrupper blood with Danish Warmblood making her an ideal type of Sport horse mare and a fantastic partner for Harley - as you can see with this superb colt!

Tresaison Snow Wolf
15 Minutes old in this pic! A huge chestnut few spot colt born on 3rd April 2007 By Dance With Wolves whose offspring are proving themselves both in the show ring and performance with stock successfully competing in a variety of disciplines, and out of Tilde af Elmegaarden KNN 1951, who graded with an '8' overall at her KNN grading. Spook is being retained by us as he is the only son of Dancer that we currently have and what a beauty he is! |
Three new arrivals!
January 2007 - We have recently imported
three Knabstrupper mares to add to our herd. All three horses, a six year
old pure bred mare by Norkrons Harlequin and 2 two year old 100% purebred
fillies are all few spot making them homozygous for colour and are a valuable
addition to our stud. They have all settled in very quickly and seem to be
enjoying the Welsh climate and their new friends!

Knabstrupper Success at the Paralympics 2004
|
In Athens on 22nd September 2004, Ann Cathrin Lubbe (NOR) captured the gold medal in the Individual Dressage Championship, competing in Grade IV. The Norwegian rider went one better and improved on her performance in Sydney, where she had won silver in the Individual Championship and the bronze in the Team event. |

Lubbe riding Zanko, a Knabstrupper stallion by Xanthos (KNN 112) out of Olympia (KNN 1796) was the only participant who passed the 70% mark and by amassing 70.839% went to gold medal position and stayed there until the conclusion of the event. Two days later on the 24th September the same combination set the crowd alight and with another first class performance earned the gold in the Individual Freestyle test in Grade IV. On this occasion they were the last to compete and when they came out of the arena, everyone already knew who was the winner of the afternoon session. LUBBE scored 79.318%, the highest marks the judges accorded on Friday.
