stallion choice - some thoughtful considerations: why
Quattro B?
...
sometimes you just don't know if you should believe in fortune as things go up
and down in the wierdest manner. As I had just written the sorrow off my soal
having to deal with the tragic loss of my beloved Shannon when the phone rang -
Fabrice was going to give birth to her foal! Long awaited for more than a week -
she had waited until today to finally turn this day into a good one, I guess.
When i arrived at the stable they had already gotten him out of her, a big and
long leggish little colt - going to turn in to a liver chestnut, just like
Happy the year before!
I had the pleasure of rubbing him dry as Fabrice was still suffering from some
after birth cramps,
but she did manage well. Later on it took a common work effort to make the
little big man stand up and start drinking - how heavy he is! I could bearly
hold him up!
and of
course - once in an upright position all those long legs got screwed up again an
he fell back into the straw - heavily breathing as life is so exhausting...
We
were on videowatch for the next couple of hours and I went out to the stall at least 3 times to somehow manage to get him under her - when I finally heard him
suckle and swollow clearly proving there was milk running through his little
mouth it was the most delightful noise in the world to me - as it was his way of
telling me: everything is o.k.! I am fine! I am a big boy, now!!!
What a day.
Thank you Fabrice for picking the most precious timing you ever could have by
giving birth to your foal...
You did great!
2 weeks later: meanwhile he has developed into a real young stallion -
dynamic in his movements and trotting on hard ground with elasticity and rhythm.
quite obviously he got the best
of both his parents. a rythmic trott moving through the enitre body and Quattros
amazing uphill canter. melting charme, and -as a dear friend put it- "you can't
paint them any more beautiful..."
In November 2006 QRage left for his new home at the Rytherhof
with Birgit Reipen - he will be raised as a stallion prospect aside his new
friend Danny Black and I am thrilled to see him growing up in experienced hands
to provide for both, a stallion- and a sport horse career according to his
talents. Just the way every other stallion at the Rytherhof is being raised and
trained as well with great success! a good luck Birgit Reipen and QRage!
18.10.2008 QRage III appears at the Westfalian
licensing preselection - what a stunning colt!
unfortunately, in all his excitement and tension he doesn't show his qualities
at all - chasing from one side of the barn to the other simply isn't what the
committee is looking for... it still made me very proud and happy seeing this
beautiful youngster again after two years and knowing:
this is the kind of horse i truly wanted to breed!
the good news is that his owner will keep him intact and train him as a sport
stallion in whatever discipline he will do best. so he will appear at 3-year old
riding horse classes next year and we see how it goes from there - i am more
than thrilled and look forward to a promising sport horse future of this great
horse!
9.5.2009 Today QRage moved on to his new home in
New Zealand, Awakino Estate, a
most beautiful estate overlooking the Tasman Sea!
He will be further trained as a dressage stallion to hopefully become part of an
already prominent group of former german auction horses and
dressage
stallions at Awakino Estate. Awakino Estate sponsors top New Zealand
Dressage Riders with top German Stallions.
Good luck on the beautiful green island and hopefully we will hear from you
again, QRage!
