Our
dear PREFERENCE continues to be a favorite mare for breeders and
visitors. She is a beautiful lady, smooth in her conformation, with
active hind leg and good freedom and expression of movement. Her
colt by DON SCHUFRO in 2005 was awarded Premium status by the German
Oldenburg Verband. In three frozen semen breedings in 2005, she producted four embryos, three of which were born in 2006.
At
the September 2003 Oldenburg Verband Inspection, hosted by Yancey
Farms, judges Evelin Vollstedt and Fritz Einhaus judged a total of
45 horses. Of the 21 mares evaluated, 20 were approved into the Main
Mare Book. The high score of 7.7 went to my own KWPN mare, Preference
by Weyden out of Inea by Daimler. She is a superb mare that showed
excellent type, suspension and beauty. This score tied her for high
score in the country that year. Dr. Vollstedt also said that this
is the high score in the country for a non-Oldenburg mare. Two years
ago, this same mare was the high scoring Non-Hanoverian mare in the
country for the American Hanoverian Society and tied for top place
of all mares in the country. She went on to win S.E. Regional Champion
of the Cosequin/USDF Sporthorse Breeding Championships.
The
pedigree of PREFERENCE combines the strong Hanoverian dressage and
Olympic Champion, JONGORRS WEYDEN with athletic KWPN blood.
She had a spectacular filly by Samarant, "Sambora" and a darling filly by Briar named "Bon-Bon." Both of these fillies were presented to the German Oldenburg Verband and were awarded Premium status. She had a handsome and fun colt by the Dutch stallion "Sandreo" whose new Owner registered with the KWPN NA. She had LORD LEO by LORD SINCLAIR in 2007 and is in foal to QUATERBACK for March 2008.
