and a good quiet willing mind. She has been shown once in dressage (with a
novice student rider!) and scored a 68% . Regularly ridden by students,
she is very suited to an amateur rider. This one could also excel in the eventing
world. As a foal, this mare was featured many times in magazine photos and
calendars all over the world. $15,000

Congratulations to Chris Lord of
Boulder, Colorado, on her purchase of this very special mare. I just know

Fillistern
- 2001 Dark bay Hanoverian mare
by
Feiner Stern and out of Wallstreet.
Feiner Stern is generally regarded in Germany as one of the century's top
producer of broodmares, with many of the most successful dressage stars and
breeding stallions coming out of his daughter. These mare are highly
prized and very seldom offered for sale. Now you can have your own.
Filli's dam was imported from Germany where she was a show jumper. Filli
is 16.2 hands tall and has already produced a premium foal by Routinier that
tied for champion of his foal inpsection. This mare is so sweet and
gentle. She rides beautifully with smooth gates and real impulsion.
She is in the main mare books of both the American Hanoverian Society and the
Oldenburg Verband. Filli would be a lovely dressage horse or could excel
in the hunter ring with her smooth flowing gaits and calm manner. At just
60 days under saddle she was already willingly giving flying lead changes!

All
That Jazz - 2003 chestnut leopard Knabstrupper mare
by
Apollon. Standing 15.2, this very sweet mare would be perfect for a child
or the smaller adult rider. She'd also make a lovely foundation mare for the
beginnings of a Knabstrupper breeding program! She handles very well on the
ground and is broke to ride. $8000

Macarns
Journey - 2005 16.1 hand registered and brand branded Knabstrupper mare by
the legendary Knabstrupper stallion, Apollon, and out of a fully German-approved
Appaloosa mare. This is a very substantial mare with lovely movement for
dressage and the power to excel at jumping. Although it is minimally expressed,
she does carry the spotting gene as evidenced by the scattered white hairs on
her rump that grow more pronounced every year as well as the faint mottling of
her skin. She could produce loud colored foals even if bred to a solid stallion.
Very sweet and easy to handle. Lighlty started under saddle by a professional.
$10,000
Atozena
- 2006 15.3 hand registered and branded Knabstrupper mare by Apollon and out
of a high scoring German approved Appaloosa mare (see Miracle in the Mist
below), this girl also carries the spotting gene in minimal expression (white
sclera, frosting of white hairs on her rump), she can produce color even if bred
to a solid stallion. She has not yet been started under saddle (too many
horses right now). She has the movement and temperament to make a nice amateur's
horse. $8000
Miracle
in the Mist - M&M is a
daughter of Blue Moon
Again
and out of the wonderful TB stallion, Digamist. RPSI inspectors loved her
and approved her for breeding Knabstruppers with high marks for her movement and
type. In 2003, she produced Waps
Moonshine, a drop dead gorgeous black and white snowcap colt by Wapspotted
that is a definite stallions prospect. In 2004, she produced
Macarns Chocolate Mist, a drop dead gorgeous colt with minimum spots, but
maximum conformation and movement that has gone on to have an excellent show
career in the hunter ring. She is fully approved for breeding by RPSI and
AKA. $4500
