WOLFGANG is a son of the legendary 'Preferent' stallion Farn, and thus a brother to other showjumping greats such as NIMMERDOR, Trust Me, Olypmus, Sheffield, Orlando, Odin N, Black and White Design, Opstalan's Pasquino, Put Optie, Talman, and Optiebeurs Investment. WOLFGANG's dam, Jolanda, is a very attractive 'keur-preferent-performance' mare, who through her sire is a sister to Cyrano, Horatio, Gamin, Oscar, I Socrates, Hala NB, and Iwan F. WOLFGANG gave a striking performance in Ermelo at the Performance Test, earning "9's" for jumping under saddle, stable manners, and training behavior. For the cross-country and the driving test, he was awarded 8.5's. He has sired many approved sons and International Grand Prix and World Cup showjumpers, including Extreme (Lesley Burr), Frederic, Goldrun II, Flor, Freedom, and World Champions at Lanaken, Illussion and Kigali. Perhaps his most famous offspring is Michael Whittaker's Handel II. Together, they achieved the impossible in Stuttgart by winning both the Grand Prix and the Masters.
In a lifespan of thirty years, RAMIRO Z performance as a sporthorse and breeding sire, has earned him already the title - 'Stallion of the Century'. Some may argue about this, but none can take away the outstanding merits of this King of Sires. Conceived in Holstein, born in Westfalia, licenced at Neumünster, and himself an international performer under Frtiz Ligges, this stallion influenced nearly all European Performance Studbooks. Ramiro was the most popular distributor of the Ramzes blood and the most frequented sire in Germany. He stood at stud in Westfalia, Holstein, Zangersheide and Holland. Numerous sons and daughters conserve and pass on the valuable genes that stand for rideability and jumping talent. Therefore, it is not a surprise to find Ramiro's children and grandchildren at the top levels of showjumping.
TILANA S was imported from Holland after starting her career as a show jumper. She has been produced by us from the age of 5 and ridden by Claire. On her arrival it was obvious that she was in desperate need of a sympathetic rider. In a very short time TILANA S had put the past behind her and was enjoying her competitive career. She attended the UK KWPN grading and was awarded her 'Ster' status. She was retired to stud in 2009, due to a paddock injury, just a few pounds short of "Grade A' status.
