Danish NF stallion election Two of the 3-years old and the 4-years old stallion passed the inspection. Driftbrogårds Darth Vader sire Hamlets Merrick grandsire Pedro became best of the 3-years old and Flintdales Raider sire Kanjtes Valentjin grandsire Polsbury Popov was second. Both sires and grandsires of the stallions are Dutch bred stallions. The 4-years old Højmarkens Joker sire Firfod Jetset grandsire Højmarkens Ikaros (bothe Danish bred) also passed the election. All the 5-years old stallions passed the final expection. Overall Champion became the German bred Sofienhofs Maroon sire Malibu grandsire Parks Taron. Soldals Pacific Ocean sire Sirius Hippios grandsire Bavian (both Danish bred stallions) got the highest score in jumping of the day with the score 9,5. He jumped more than his own hight! He was also the only stallion who was shown in riding - he showed his really impressive movements (He also won the 4-years Championship in dressage i September with the highest score in movement).

Snow snow and more snow No muddy fields, good training for the mussels when they are playing or we are riding in the snow. Of course there are also more work brining the hay to the fields, removing the snow so we can get out on the road etch. but anyway I think it has so many more good things than bad - so let it snow, let it snow, let it snow :o)

2010 is the year when the Danish New Forest association can selebrate their 50th anniversary - it is the same year our stud farm Hippios can selebrate 20 years of breeding New Forest ponies. We want to selebrate this year and have decided to lower our prizes for covering to 1990 danish kr = 270 Euros. Our stallion will be collected for frozen seemen as well as natural covering. The cost is not including collection and transportation of semen. For all foreings mares coming to our stud farm the prize for staying at the stud farm until they are pregnant will only be 20 danish kr = 3 Euros per day. At the Danish New-Forest Festival 2010 which is taking place the 13-15th of August, we will show a collection of our ponies and stallions both in competitions, shows by hand as well as in riding. We are planing to show a collection of off springs of Mister Malthe - hopefully up to 16-20 ponies - all together in a show with their sire. One of the days up to the New-Forest Festival 2010 we will invite all of our friends from Denmark and all around the world to visit us at our Stud Farm wich are situated not very far from the place where the New Forest Festival will take place. We will arrange food and drinks and show some of the ponies which will not be shown at the Festival. We hope many people will join us and have fun with other New Forest people. We will of course be helpfull with arrages places to stay. More about this day will come later on. To get some new blood for our mares as well as other danish mares, we are looking for an appoved stallion to rent for the covering season. He must be from 140-148cm. We prefer he has shown himself in the sport and / or has very good selections. Please send us a mail at mail@hippios.dk if you are interested. |
