NEW STALLION FOR VHS

———VHS EXTREME——-


VHS are importing a new stallion from Europe to stand at stud from 2027.

We have secured an exciting yearling prospect with impeccable lineage who will be an asset to New Zealand breeders.

The youngster is to be transported to NZ after the winter and will be available for breeding from 2027.

He is by Extreme US out of a deeply bred KWPN mare by Special D.

Extreme US was the winner of the PAVO CUP and the most frequented stallion in the Netherlands last year by a country mile with over 450 foals on the ground - sensational!

The dam sire Special D is a legend himself and his pedigree reads like a who’s who of KWPN breeding featuring Ferro, Metall, Doruto and Amor.

The resulting c**t presents a beautiful cross between these proven lines as he shows ideal conformation and movement presented in a fancy black jacket with attractive white markings.

Extreme rideability on both sides (Extreme US received the perfect 10 from guest rider Daniel Bachman-Anderson) ensures a wonderful nature right now and a solid base for the future under saddle.

We will follow up with more info and photos - but for now just wanted to share the good news with you and hope you approve of our choice.

We just received this video from Ninya from Oz as she approaches the paddock where her horse Galahad (Gershwin/Remi Leading Lady) is grazing.
He is spotting her vehicle a mile off and comes charging down to meet her calling out frequently.
If that ain’t true love I don’t know what is…

Moana is practicing to become head photographer here at Vollrath Stud.
The light was a little less favourable this afternoon but she caught some particularly expressive moments at the canter.
The superstar in the photos is of course no other than Vollrath Secret Mission - Missy to her friends.
I think we will do a photoshoot with Gershwin next week as the weather is supposed to hold for a while.
We've just had the most enjoyable sunny autumn days so far.
I hope you'll enjoy the pictures.

Due to a change of circumstances beyond our control we had to shift the photo-shoot forward.
Thank you Moana and daughter Skylar for chipping in as camera operators and taking some stunning pics of Vollrath Secret Mission - Missy to her friends - and myself after only 20 rides.
It was a wonderful morning with favourable light and Missy is just an awesome ride with the most expressive movement.
Enjoy the pics!

Missy is rocking her cooling down rug after her work-out.
We have a date for the photo-shoot under saddle and it is this coming Thursday.
Until then enjoy the 'cover photo'...

We took Gala to the beach with the doggies and ticked off many firsts.
She was very well behaved and settled.
A friendly beach-goer took our photo on arrival with her equally friendly doggo photo bombing...
It was a stunning morning with blue-white sea and skies and the tide slowly rolling in.
I hope you enjoy the photos I took.

It's the time of year... to be clipping!
Missy has had three weeks off from riding during the bad weather period and yesterday I had the first ride on her again after that time off.
Still under 20 rides and she already goes like a pro.
The same thing applied today when I led her on the beach with the doggies in the early morning and now clipping her for the first time ever.
She stood like a rock having her face done and all!
I'm hoping to get in a photo-shoot next week so we can show her off under saddle as well.

Natasha Connolly and Vollrath Gunsmoke have stepped up to Novice Level and placed First and Second respectively at their first outing.
They are a combination to watch and are on a good way in their partnership and going up the grades.
Here are a couple of photos from their recent outing at the competition at Marlborough Equestrian Park.
And yes, Gunsmoke is a full brother to Gala who is just coming under saddle here at VHS.

Our beautiful VHS Gala is coming under saddle.
She is a gem to handle and lunge and has had the saddle on today for the first time.
I have walked around her with the camera and taken photos from every angle to prove a point:
Short back - long back -
It is all a matter of perspective!
You really need to see a horse in person to be able to judge its conformation correctly.
And of course the vibe you will be getting from touching and interacting with the horse is non-existent in footage.
So if you are interested in purchasing a horse: come and meet them and only then will you be able to make an informed decision.
