Tambourin (by Kaspareit, out of Natasha by B. Rolando) is an exciting 2000 Dutch colt with exceptional breeding for dressage. Tate's grandsire Mozart was a Trakehner stallion who was imported into Holland and became their Grand Prix Champion for three consecutive years. Tate was born black but will gradually grey like his dam. He is sweet and smart, and shows the talent you'd expect from this kind of pedigree.

"Tate" was purchased by Meredith Schoen who sent us the following:

Tate arrived at 11:00 last night (from SoCal to Albuquerque). Tate was very good on the trailer and very brave when he arrived here and had to walk (in the total darkness) to his new corral and friends. He pooped and ate all his hay last night. He was covered with shavings this AM so I think he slept as well. My husband and I can't get over how good he is and how smart. I checked all of his legs etc and he picked up each foot for me.

I think he is really quite exceptional.

Front Page News is by the imported German Hanoverian stallion Walk on Top, a son of the popular Walldorf. His mother is WendenWinter, an imported Hanoverian mare whose ¾ brother, Wendehals, stands in Germany with the impressive breeding index of 137 points based on mare studbook inspections. He was second in the performance class. Winter’s mother was a States Premium mare by Einblick, who won his stallion testing. Her father was reserve champion of the competition in Verden.

Congratulations to his new owners Donna Starita, DVM and her daughter Kathy.
