Check out the rising stars we have retained for our program! These fillies are representatives of the goals we have for our program. We will be developing them in sport, and eventually offering their foals, most likely via ET. Please get in touch if you would like your own like either of these two super young horses, or if you would be interested in a custom foal via ET!

Diamond Affair LSE

2022 Hanoverian filly by Diesel CF out of Donika SCF (ES Donavan x Astairtothemaster xx)

Diamond has now won both her yearling class, and her two year old liberty class at the Spy Coast Young Horse show, with excellent scores again this year—highlights being her overall score of 7.87, and 8’s on topline and walk. Diamond also showed excellent style in the jump chute, earning 8’s on bascule and willingness, and qualifying for nationals. . Diamond’s sire, ES Diesel is by Dressage Royal x Ritual x Grande. He is a stunning full brother to the premium Hanoverian Grand Prix stallion Damsey FRH, who has been ranked as high as 4th in the FEI World International Dressage Rankings and on the German A-Squad (Olympic squad) with Helen Langehanenberg. Perhaps our favorite thing about Diesel is that he is shown by his amateur owner, who also enjoys trail riding him, and riding him bareback.

Diamond’s dam, our own Donika SCF, was champion Hanoverian mare at her inspection, and received wonderful compliments at a voluntary inspection with renown breeding expert, Christian Schacht, who encouraged us to transition Donika from part time riding to full time breeding, “Breed the best—this one stays pregnant”. Read more about Donika on her page.

We will be seeking a creative partnership on Diamond when she is ready to enter training.

Calista Estella LSE

2021 Westfalen filly by Conteros (Contender) out of California Girl xx (Sir Manatee x Northwest Music)

“Calista” is developing into a stunning young filly and is currently in Tryon on partnership with 5* rider, John Micheal Durr, beginning her training. JM met Calista when she was 3 months old and became as enamored with her as we are—after trying (and failing) to buy her, he asked if we would consider a partnership on her. JM did such an amazing job with our Last Call Lady LSE during her East coast adventure, that we decided it was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up! Watch for more updates on Calista as her training progresses on the East Coast.

Calista is by the excellent Contender son, Conteros, who campaigned successfully in Germany in the 1.60 meters, followed by a wonderful career in the US as a hunter, which truly speaks to his versatility and rideablity—exactly what you would expect from his sire line. Calista is by our wonderful California Girl, and I am incredibly thankful to her for blessing me with a Contender line filly.

In 2024, our beloved California Girl gave us a maternal half sister to Calista, who we are retaining. We are incredibly thankful to have two wonderful fillies from this incredibly special mare.

Captured Dreams LSE

2024 Anglo Trakehner filly by American Dream out of California Girl xx

We are thrilled to have this additional daughter of California Girl to retain for our program. This Anglo-Trakehner filly is the product of Horse of the Year Champion Stallion 2021 meets Horse of the Year Champion Mare of 2021, both parents scored 8.5 on overall impression, both stallion and mare, type scores of 9 and 9.5; out of 22 scoring categories between the pair, they had 12 total scores of 8.5 or above. This pairing is 78% of incredible sport focused TB blood.

Sire, American Dream, has a beautiful exterior is combined with an incredibly kind and charming demeanor. His pedigree is a unique combination of a predominantly dressage-based sire line with a dam line that adds both blood and proven jumping ability hailing from Abiza *E*. Hancock *Ps*, a premium stallion himself, was the winner of his 70 day performance testing in Marbach and the crowd pleaser at Hostenhollen in 2011. Since coming to the states he has garnered much success in his dressage career as his pedigree would suggest. Amourette GS descends from the incredible foundation mare Abiza *E* through one of her talented sons Ameigo *Ps*E*, winner of the bronze medal at the 1987 Pan Am Games.

Dam, California Girl’s most recent 2 foals have been placed with a 4* and 5* event riders. In addition to being HOY, Champion mare for the ATA in 2021 with an incredible score of 124.4, she was also featured in an article for the German Trakehner Verband on the excellent quality of the American Thoroughbred mare base.
