December Aglaia is now in Australia with her new family. She left the cold and wet Denmark and is now in the warm and sunny Tasmania with green grass and a wonderful family. We hope we sometime in the future will be able to take the trip around the world and visit her and her new family, as we have done with Zephyr in USA and Kalliope, Arion and Salem in Belgium. 1st Class Prince Albert - a son of Mister Malthe has just been to an international show jumping competition in Holland. It was his rider last competition as a pony rider since she is now to old. She has bought a 5 years old stallion born i Belgium and we wish her all the luck she can get in the future. Prince Albert is now for sale, so if anybody want a very good show jumper, 147cm, stallion (not approved), 8 years old with Valention as a grandsire, you can mail us and we will set you in contact with his owner. We hope you all have had a wonderful year and hope you will have a Happy 2009. |

October Salem was showned for the judges, took the event test and took the jumping test. Arion, who still only is 2½ years old, was shown for the first time. Arion was number one in the ring. He looked very well and we were proud of him the hole day. Specially in the jumping and canter part of the election, where he jumped really well and showed his excellent canter. In the end the judges only took Arion of all the 2½ years old stallion and that was for us very fantastic. They also took one 3½ years old the very nice Sulaaktik´s Classic Marmelade (sire Wayland Cranberry). Salem also did his part very well. He has an excellent jumping capacity and we can´t wait to see him in the competitions. Salem was selected as Overall Champion and that was a perfect end on a very exciting day for us. BIS res. was the beautiful Polsbury Pessoa (sire Sörbys Lotus). Pictures from the election will come very soon at www.quality-pictures.com |

We got some very nice news from Belgium and Sweden. In Belgium two offsprings of Salem (sire Sirius) were seleted as best colt and filly at the annual foal presentation. The filly "Luminahof`s Fiona" was selected as Champion foal. In Sweden "Mistra" sire Malthe, got the hole way to the final in the Championship for young ponies in dressage. The final round was devided into two section and Mistra won the first with 73.2%. In the second round she was a bit tired, but still got 66%. She became nr.4 overall. |

August and September Returning back from Holiday I went to Dublin and Zürich on congress and finally back in Denmark, I started riding Sirius again. I simply love to ride him. He has the best temper, love to work, is lite like a cat and moves like a horse - what more can one ask for? We have now found a new rider for Minos and a part time rider for Sirius. Anne Sofie is the new rider of Minos and she will train him in dressage and hopefully they will start compeeting in the begining of next year. Emma is the new rider of Sirius. She rides him 3-4 times a week, since I still want to ride him a couple of days a week. Emma has 4½ years back in pony competions. We really looking forward to se both Minos and Anne Sofie and Emma and Sirius in the future. |

July At the Danish NF mare election which took part in Jutland. We showed our French mare Robin de L `Eguille sire Priory Firelight II. She were mesured 146cm and became in 2.class A. She has showned excellent jumping skills at the traning, but her movement is not very impressive. She is pregnant with Sirius Hippios and we hope the foal will gain Sirius movement (as he mostly give to his off springs) and will have the jumping skills from both Robin and Sirius. Champion mare became Blåbærhegnets Q-libri. She was my absolut favorit. Her sire is Hamlet´s Merrick and her grandsire is Malibu II. We are very pleased about the result, not only was she the best, but she is the fullsister of Blåbærhegnets Q-usine, whom we sold to our friend in Belgium. He bought Q-usine without haven seen the foal only because I told she was a fine foal and now she is the fullsister of the best mare 2008 in Denmark :o) We have made a deal with the owner of Q-Libri to cover her with Minos next year and we having the foal. You will find pictures from the election at www.quality-picture.com The site is in danish, but if you click at "NF hoppekåring 2008" (which means NF mare election 2008) in the left side you will find all the pictures devided into groups of age and hardground / loose in riding arena. You can also find picture of last year mare election as well as pictures from Roskilde horse and cattle show and some from different competions. It has been very exciting to se one more season of off springs of Offem Minos. They are all great movers. Have pretty heads and really good necks and long legs. Just as we hoped for. We can not wait for them to grow up and se how they develop. The 2th of August we start our vacation. This year we will go to USA. Here we will stay at my parents place. We have already planed to visit Zephyr Hippios and his new family in USA. We are really looking forward to that. We also planned to visit a couple of New Forest breeders. We hope you all have a wonderfull summer with your friends, family and ponies. We will be back again in September with news about our trip and our ponies.
