EXCITING NEWS !!!

Titulus' FIRST 2009 baby has arrived and it's a GIRL!

The proud owner tells us her beautiful filly was born at 12:50 am Sunday morning on March 15th. The mare had been teasing them for the last week that she wanted to go into labor, everything went very smoothly - her delivery was perfect. They named her Stella! The filly is black with two white hind socks and a star and she looks like such a little girl - longest eyelashes and thick tail. Needless to say, the owner is relieved and happy now Stella has arrived.

Congradulations Staci and Faluka!

.....and now we are going to let Stella's daddy Titulus in on the great news!

Stay tuned for the new Titulus arrivals.....

* * * * * Good news for TITULUS son Syrius * * * * *

Photo by Aerron Smith, taken of Syrius at 4 months of age

Syrius by Titulus out of Slightly Cinnamon xx, a great example of the Trakehner/Thoroughbred cross! His owner/breeder Lori Whitley is very proud of her young colt Syrius which makes us very happy too.

Lori trailered Syrius and his Dam all the way from Oregon to the 2008 American Trakehner Association Annual Meeting in CALIFORNIA last November. What a long trek for such a young foal! Both were presented for the 2008 Mare & Young Horse Show, judged by Hilda Gurney.

Small Biography on Hilda Gurney; Prior to winning her Olympic medal in 1976, Hilda Gurney had finished second in the individual dressage and won a gold medal in the team event at the 1975 Pan-American Games. After graduating from Cal State (Northridge) in 1966, Miss Gurney became a teacher of educationally handicapped children. For those of you here in Quebec, Hilda Gurney was one of the judges at one of our yearly "Concours CDI Dressage International de Blainville".

Hilda Gurney gave Syrius an impressive score of 75.3%, placing him first in the Colts & Geldings of 2008 class. Lori tells us that Hilda really liked Syrius, commenting that he will make for a great future Sport Horse! Yeah Baby! : )

Lori's good fortune did not end there.....

Syrius' Dam Slytely Cinnamon was also entered for judging in the PSB, Anglo-Trakehner, Arab-Trakehner, Thoroughbred and Arabian Mare class.

Slytely Cinnamon (Cinnamon) has an interesting resume; a 1990 Jockey Club Mare, approved Holsteiner as well as Oldenburg/ISR and American Trakehner as well. She is a stakes winning mare off the track and has also been consistently jumped over 4' 3" fences with a rider and has free jumped 4'9" fences. She stands 16.2H and is an excellent producer, throwing nice temperaments and great conformation.

This retired performer and now proven broodmare placed 2nd with a score given by Hilda Gurney of 75.25%! BRAVO!

ATA's Chief Inspector Sam Eidt DVM was appointed to do the evaluations for the Mare Inspection, Lori's mare Persnickety by Feuertanzer scored a very impressive 52 points!

CONGRADULATIONS LORI WHITLEY!

* * * * * * * WHO is that COVERBOY? * * * * * * * *

YES, IT IS IRONMAN!!!!

I can still remember the day I read a post in a Warmblood discussion forum announcing "Ironman was now approved Canadian Sport Horse". Since I am a "jumper" girl at heart, I contacted his owner Nancy Maloney to know more about this stallion. I found Nancy to be very nice! I waited with much anticipation for Ironman's video to arrive and when it did, everything was put aside so I could view it. I was not disappointed for a moment.....

I was mesmorized by the the footage of Ironman and his rider Attila jumping their FIRST Grand Prix. What POWER! I later learned that there was a bad thunderstorm that day and the duo were called into the ring ahead of schedule, a good performance was demanded of them SOAKEN WET! I have watched the footage over and over with that in mind.....I am still amazed.

I was SOLD on this stallion and knew one day, I just had to have my very own "Ironman" foal in our barn.

Three years later, Serge and I went down to Wisconsin for a clinic. Since it was only one hour away from Nancy Maloney's farm, I took advantage this great opportunity to go visit her and Ironman. It was going to be the first time meeting Nancy and her stallion in person, I was so EXCITED!

I arrived a little earlier than expected.....

I got out of my car and made my way to the entrance of the barn and NEVER expected what awaited me next. From the entrance, there was no one in sight except for all the way to the far end of the alley way......stood an Angel dressed in white standing on cross chains. It definately seemed that I had all of his attention as I calmly walked towards him, I had no doubt that this had to be Ironman. I stood still before him as he lifted his head up high examining me by looking me up and down. What a character! I could see intelligence and gentleness in his eyes, when I felt that I had his approval, I lifted my hand and his head came down, I figured it was permission to pet him.

Not long after, Nancy arrived and apologized for not being there to greet me. I assured her that my introduction to Ironman could not have been more perfect. It was just that, PERFECT! I have visited a few more times since that memorable day, meeting Ironman's son Ironrule and many other Ironman offspring, confirming my belief that IRONMAN is what we can truly call a "proven" breeding sire.

I enjoyed sharing my story with you and hope one day that you will also give this fabulous stallion a chance to prove to you just how awesome he is!

Ironman has earned a "Coverboy" title MANY times over! He is a star in his own right and for MANY reasons. Contact us to find out why!

Cheers!

Inspection du German Oldenburg Verband, une réussite!

Inspection du German Oldenburg Verband (division nord-américaine du Verband der Zuechter des Oldenburger Pferdes e.V.), une réussite!

Cette année, une heureuse association, enée de main de maître par les Élevages Mallet Barsalou, et secondée par les Écuries d’Automne, accueillit les juges du Oldenburg Verband, mesdames Holly Simenson et Mo Swanson, les 5 et 6 juillet dernier. L’événement s’est déroulé sous forme de mini-tournée, s’arrêtant en 3 endroits différents, pour finalement inspecter et enregistrer un total de 6 poulains, dont un obtint la mention premium (Janosh (Johnson x Donna Magica /Dormello) éleveur et propriétaire, Lidwin Verdier), et inspecter un total de 12 juments, dont une également obtint des pointages faisant d’elle une jument premium Day of Loom (aka Rubina (Royal Olymp/Donnerschlag), propriété de Nadia Bastien).

Tout d’abord, la tournée débuta samedi en après-midi aux Élevages Mallet Barsalou, où Day of Loom aka Rubina (Royal Olymp/Donnerschlag), propriété de Nadia Bastien fut approuvée dans le registre principal des juments (Main Mare Book) avec le titre de jument Premium. Tai Chi MB(Tycoon x Tickling the Ivory xx), élevée et propriété des Élevages Mallet Barsalou; Barina (Graditz/Peron), élévée par Shawnda Nadeau et propriété des Écuries Mallet Barsalou; et Cordova, (Celebes/Calypso I/Laerte), propriété de Elisabeth McGregor (Ont), et poulinière pour les Écuries d’Automne, furent toutes acceptées dans le registre principal des juments. Un poulain fut également présenté et enregistré, soit Gratitude (Graf Top I x Cordova) élevé et propriété des Écuries d’Automne. Nous désirons au passage remercier Éric Aucler, notre photographe officiel pour cette première étape de l’inspection.

En début de soirée, les juges se déplacèrent chez Mme Verdier, pour y inspecter trois juments de plus : Ferrari (Freestyle x Onedin/Indorado) propriété de Lidwin Verdier, Marlina (Colombus/Le Santo/Lord) et Winrianna (Winterprinz/Cicero), toutes deux propriété de Véronique Picard. Finalement, tel que précédemment mentionné, le superbe poulain premium Janosh (Johnson x Donna Magica /Dormello) dont l’éleveure et propriétaire est également Lidwin Verdier fut enregistré après inspection. Toutes les juments présentées furent également acceptées dans le registre principal. Félicitations!


Tôt le lendemain matin, toute la troupe se transportait aux Écuries Rappenhof, qui a généreusement offert d’héberger l’inspection du dimanche. Encore mille fois merci à Mme Kempter, tout était tout simplement impeccable, comme à l’habitude! Y furent évaluées Weltina (Wolkenstein II/Matcho) propriété de Dave Thind, et sa pouliche, Galadriel (par Guy Laroche), également propriété de Dave Thind; Franscheska (Flower King x Milou en Mai/Landslide), éleveure Sylvie Saucier/Ferme le sabot vert, propriété de la Fondation RJB; Maska (par Platinum vom Rappenhof), propriété de Nancy Demers; Serenity (par Espiritu) et sa pouliche par Sagnol, propriété d’Emilie Setlakwe; Helena RH (Biotop/Hand in Glove xx/Matador) et son poulain Hadrian vom Rappenhof (par Guy Laroche); pour enfin clore avec Hunyk (pouliche par Huno x Pippa/Lestroy), dont les éleveurs et propriétaires sont Lyne Joly et Darren Babin. Presque toutes les juments ont accédé au registre principal, et celles qui n’y ont pas été acceptées ne remplissaient simplement pas tous les critères de pedigree, mais elles ont toutes obtenu des pointages suffisants. Encore là bravo!

Nous désirons souligner la qualité des juments présentées, et désirons rappeler que le Oldenburg Horse Breeders Society, communément appelé German Oldenburg Verband ou G.O.V., est la branche nord-américaine du Verband der Zuechter des Oldenburger Pferdes e.V. et qu’en conséquence, les mêmes standards et critères sont appliqués lors de l’évaluation des juments et des poulains d’ici que celles et ceux présentés en Allemagne. Comme le rappelle très bien l’association, « Un registre n’est aussi solide que son maillon le plus faible. Nous avons beaucoup à faire pour améliorer la qualité de nos poulinières (en Amérique du Nord) et ceci est critique. La raison pour laquelle les registres européens ont tant de succès réside en la garantie de qualité des poulains produits et les lignées très bien documentées et éprouvées de ces derniers…»

Encore une fois nous tenons à dire merci à tous les participants et collaborateurs pour leur présence et leur soutient, et souhaitons à tous et toutes une excellente saison 2008-2009. Au plaisir de vous revoir l’an prochain!

Patricia Mallet & Jessica Lauzon.

In the meantime, we shall continue on with his training in preparation for his performance requirements. Bond's first breeding season begins in the spring of 2009. We will be offering a special Introductory Stallion breeding fee. Stay tuned!

TITULUS' show results at a new level!

Titulus never ceases to amaze us! Our boy honors us again! Titulus was back competing at Lamplight but this time at Level 5 (4'0 ft) for the first time, placing 1st, 3rd, 3rd, 4th and was awarded RESERVE CHAMPION!!! Titulus has made the jump from Level 3 (3'6) to Level 5 (4'0) successfully! Another terrific beginning....

His trainer Nancy Maloney tells us: "Titulus has only been schooled a few times at 4ft, showing it was time to move up and this week he proved it! Titulus placed third in his first class because of one rail in the jump off which is pretty good considering it's his first time competing at Level 5. In his second class of the day, it was tough because both his classes today were back to back. Titulus came in first and was the ONLY horse to FINISH the class! Very good!

The next day, he was terrific placing 4th then 3rd and again in back to back classes. Two double clear rounds earning him RESERVE CHAMPION OF HIS DIVISION! Not bad for a start at Level 5."

Serge and I are always pleased because there is no doubt Titulus is always giving his best out there for Attila. We are always grateful to Nancy and Attila for all their hard work!

THANK YOU!

Trakehners International

A news article on Bond's approval found at http://www.trakehners-international.com/ written by Maren Engelhardt!


(photo taken by Debbie Patterson - www.unbridled.smugmug.com)

Bond James Bond MB was also approved at the Durham, Maine, inspection August 2nd 2008. He is the first son of the Grand Prix stallion Oskar II, a Russian import via Denmark, and more or less a 3/4 brother to the late Dr. Klimke's exceptional international dressage stallion EH Biotop. The combination of heavy doses of Arabian and English TB on the basis of a Trakehner mare family is a common breeding principle in Russia and has resulted in that particular stud book representing Trakehners at the Olympic level in all three disciplines - more than can be said of any other Trakehner stud book in the world. Hockey alone had over 40 international competitors among his get, up to the Olympics, and is represented by the young Trakehner stallions Prints Finest and Lowelas in Europe and now Bond James Bond MB in North America.

Dam Barina by Graditz *E* is one of the very few descendants of the great dressage stallion Peron TSF worldwide - Peron won Team Bronze at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and comes from the very same dam line as another highly successful (and sadly deceased) dressage stallions: EH Partout, who was the most substantial of all approved Arogno sons and put the line on a new level through his sons EH Monteverdi TSF - Oliver Twist - Grand Passion, champion in Neumünster 2007.
