Breeding
In our small scale breeding stable, we continue the breeding family 100. We called our branch the "Gold-branch" and add to all the products of our breeding the suffix -Gold. Our thought process was to adopt the name of the two generations that came before Nina-Gold, being: m Goldy and mm Mary-Gold I.
Essentially we only breed mares that have proven themselves to be exceptional showjumpers or are still actively involved in the sport, of at a young age in an ability test, namely:
NINA-GOLD (Lux x Burggraaf x Uppercut xx)
elite preferent prestatie sport spr
predicates preferent and performance obtained in first three offspring
former 1.50m int. showjumper with Ben Schröder
This mare is our ancestress. She is deceased in 2016, unfortunately. Her two Andiamo-daughters Vicky-Gold and Halina-Gold and her Thunder van de Zuuthoeve-granddaughter Kimmi-Goldhave picked up the baton concerning the breeding
VICKY-GOLD (Andiamo x Lux x Burggraaf)

EMBRYO TRANSPLANTATION
Because we do not want to take any risks concerning birthing and/or want to give preference to the mare's sporting career, we breed 90% via ET (embryo transplantation). An added benefit is that, if desired, we can breed more that one foal from our best mares per season.
BREEDING FAMILY 100 (m. Amalia)
The lineage of mares reaches back from Nina-Gold as follows:
Goldy (elite pref prest, v. Burggraaf),
Mary-Gold I (keur pref, v. Uppercut xx),
Rufrieda D (ster pref prest, v. Content),
Ufrieda (v. Imposant),
Frieda (ster pref, v. Ledazoon) and
Freline (ster pref v. Grootvorst), back to
Oclea and eventually back to
Amalia (old Groningerline) 1888.
Mary-Gold I produced amongst others the approved stallion Rappel, as well as the well-known Prix St. Georges dressage horse Donkervoort.
