Stallion Choice: Why Brentano II ?
This
morning my Ionia provided the greatest pleasure of all to me:
she gave birth to the long awaited and greatly desired filly by Brentano II!
I have been waiting for this moment to come for so long and I was hoping so
badly that this would be a filly - the (hopefully) future foundation mare of my
very own, thoroughblood based sport horse damline...
In colour, type and substance (bones) little Balahé is a tiny reincarnation of
her sire, Brentano II.
And she sure was a hard job for her mother to deliver - what a strong first-born
kid out of such a light mare! well understood that Ionia had to take a rest
after such birth... however, she was all over her daughter form the beginning on
and it was my greatest pleasure to hear her mumble at her all the time - simply
sitting there and watching how the first tender bands were knit - tears of
pleasure...
thank you, Ionia!
26. April 2007:
This morning I went to
Ankum again where Brentano II has been standing for stud all
his life. I was lucky to get to see him at his daily paddock routine and I
couldn't take my eyes off him. He has recovered greatly from a colic surgery
earlier this year and presents himself as a friendly but surely self assured
stallion who has an awake eye on anything in his surrounding. This stallion even
at the age of 24 (!) certainly has remained a timeless and modern horse - despite
all those traditional somewhat heavy but nonetheless best proven performance
genes via Grande and Ferdinand all those t.b.-genes in him (Black Sky, Bleep,
Marcio) provide for a noble exterieur of light upper line and frame - legs so
clear, some four-year-old would dream of...
28.2.2010:
Today
Balahé has moved to her new home at the Karsten family, former owners of
Beltain (sire of Belissimo) and Wallery K, my past
broodmare. It is my greatest pleasure to see Balahé in these passionate breeders'
hands since I owe the Karsten family my entire affinity to the bloodline of
Bolero and the legendary damline of
Dr. Max Schulz, Stellenfleth. Without the Karsten family there would have
been no Wallery K for me, no Beltain and most certainly no
Belissimo M for the world. Without the Karsten
family I had never learned about the damline of Dr. Max Schultz (Wallery's
descend) who bred Beltain and Brentano II and I
had never discovered the value of these precious Bolero bloodlines for me.
The beauty of Balahés newly found home serves as a wonderful gift to me:
she will live nearby in the Karsten's mare herd and I will be able to further
follow her development and watch her future foals grow up - I am overly happy to
see my Brentano II-daughter having found such a great lifetime post!

At her new home Balahé gave birth to her first filly Belle K by Barclay.
Quite obviously, Balahé is in best shape and enjoys her motherhood!
