Chiqui is the full brother to Niquita, and very aptly named. He is cheeky, our Chiqui, and he’s chique. A lovely fun boy and already sold. He’s very much a son to his parents, and brother to sister Niquita. We are very pleased we are to keep him for a bit until he’s old enough to join his new owners.

Farad is full brother of Voltage Akhdhar and a super pretty elegant young man. I am still not sure he’ll stay this colour but we’ll wait and see. He looks a very promising endurance horse and has already found his new person. He’s staying with us to grow up and it is lovely to be part of his journey.

Elektrik is a big leggy colt, with amazing paces and a funky look with his blaze and half white front leg.  Elektrik is Watt's second foal and like his half-brother Voltage, shows a lot of potential for endurance. Balance, lovely self carriage and great paces, it all helps for a healthy endurance career when he has grown up. This colt combines endurance performance on both dam and sire side, both his parents have done multiple 160's, so a promise for the future. 

Shatranj was bred by Esther out of Czeresnia (Chess), a mare that was on loan to see if she could become a high level endurance horse. Unfortunately at some point Esther had to conclude she did not have the mental perseverance needed to be brave enough to face all the competitive world would throw at her and she decided to breed 1 foal before the mare was returned to the owner.

Lupine is a dainty pretty filly, lovely showy paces and an inquisitive personality. As only filly amongst 3 colts she might become a pretty tomboy, she is already playing and running a lot with Voltage, who was born 2 days before her. With her parentage she should be able to do anything she puts her little hoof to, her half brother out of the same dam (Aqui) is doing well in dressage and has a huge jump. Of course dam Asphodele has done well in endurance so this is a versatile filly.

Rayqui is a lovey big bold colt, with a cool and inquisitive personality. With 2 champagne parents he had a small chance to be homozygous for champagne, but he is not unfortunately. That does not make him any less. He is one of the few gold champagne pard warmbloods around and with his parents he should be a lovely all round horse. His good paces and lovely temperament will certainly help with that. Of course his colour will give some added bling: he will look like a very shiny iridescent palomino, guaranteed to turn heads wherever he goes

Aqui is quite unique, he is the only champagne horse in the UK with this amount of Arab blood. Most champagnes have Quarter Horse (or Tenessee Walker) blood in them: the champagne gene seems to have originated in America and is seen in some American breeds or crosses.

Araghnid, or Arie as he is called by friends, is out of Esther’s favourite mare Moragh and racehorse Spiderman Kossack. Esther won this breeding when she came third in the 160 km race in Ermelo in 2015 (Hosting the Dutch Championships)

Esther was asked to train Russian bred mare Pulcheria Knedo for 2 years to see if she had the potential for international endurance (like her mother ND’s Pirobelle). In exchange, Esther would get to breed a foal.

Shadiya came into Esther’s life in 2009. Esther was looking for a possible broodmare that could also do a decent level of competing. Shadiya was fitting all the bills, though she did not seem to be keen on getting pregnant.
