TIME FOR RETIREMENT!

Quite a few of our horses has been retired from shows this month, staring with BOE Mexico Nightmare. This prima Oldenburg mare has been doing quite well in Show Jumping, and also fine in Dressage too. With 42 points in Show Jumping T-Shows. 43 points in Show Jumping, 48 points in Dressage and 65 points in Sportshorse in R-Shows - she has definitely earned her retirement!

The best children's pony in the world has also reached retirement age! BOE Sunny Day aka. Sunny has been the first pony for almost all of our children, and has taught them to ride and love horses. She has been competing in Pony (181 points), Pony Show Jumping (186 points) and Driving (190 points) with the kids, and has had a lot of fun!

With her she takes the titles of The Golden Pony, Nuage and Tandem Champion.

Opaline HF aka. Libby has also earned her retirement! With an overall of 383 points in R-Shows you can say she has done really good. She has competed in Sportshorse (146 points), Show Jumping (142 points) and Dressage (95 points), giving a total of 8 bonus points off to her offsprings!

She has done a lot of good in her time as a show horse (with titles of Supreme Champion, Volant and L'Étoile), and will hopefully enjoy her retirement. Thank you for selling her to us Ian Salvatore!

RRS Caspian has been a personal favorite of mine for sooo long! He has done a lot of good with an overall score of 451 points across disciplines such as Sportshorse (132 points), Show Jumping (172 points) and Dressage (147 points). He has earned the titles of Supreme Champion, Nuage and Danzatore through his career as a show horse.

BOE Rolly Joger aka. Sandokan has been a good boy, definitely deserving his retirement at 403 points across the disciplines. Seeing him compete in Show Jumping (151 points) with Narcisa Foremann has been one of the biggest pleasures in my life. He definitely takes after his sire BOE Sailor Moon, and has done a great job at every show!

Dressage (137 points) wasn't what he enjoyed the most, but he did well there too along with the halter shows for Sportshorses (115 points).

Retirering GE Rosebank was harder than I had thought possible. She is such a good mare, her rider Vigga Hertz can only agree with that, and we are happy to now have an offspring of hers, who can take over after her.

Whether in Sportshorse (181 points), Show Jumping (146 points) or Dressage (170 points) she always did her best. She is such a prima mare of the Hanoverians, and we will probably never get a mare like her again.

BOE Ladykiller shouldn't have been retired this early. Shouldn't have been dead either. Yet he hurt himself so badly at a show that he had to be put down.

He earned himself a few points throughout his lifetime: Turkoman (41 points), Show Jumping (57 points) and Dressage (52 points) - and will give his skills to his sons in hopes that they will remember him, and have the same skill as him in shows.

That was all the horses retired this month!

FIRST BATCH OF BABIES!

Last night we got a whole batch of babies! We now have a total of four babies, and are expecting two more hopefully soon!

BOE Moonlit Debate is the first one up, we just call her Debby. She is a Black (EE aa) Oldenburg filly after dam BOE Mexico Nightmare (my own) and sire Debutant RRC (from Isabell Oaks).

She got a lot of spunk, but mostly stays beside her mom, and is a little nervous when saying hello. But she has just been born and we are weird tall creatures, so I think that's ok! Hopefully she will grow to be as outgoing and social as her mother. She will be trained by Ismael Lehmann.

Next one up is BOE Flyover, also called Sonny. He is not exactly owned by us at Black Onyx Equestrian, as Narcisa (Foremann, our general manager) bought him, even before he was born. He is a Black (EE aa) German Riding Pony colt. He is after our own BOE Barbie Girl and Narcisa's star jumper pony EIJ Superfly, who has just been put into retirement.

Narcisa's hopes and dreams about this colt are to show him in jumping just like his dad, and probably in Dressage too, so we have the chance to use him as stud as he grow older and more experienced, as we breed Dressage focused German Riding Ponies.

BOE Lady's Protector is another baby of ours. As his dam has earned credit and points so very fast, Victor here will be taking over after his dam, when he grows older and more confident. He is a Chestnut Tobiano (ee aa nT) Oldenburg colt, and he is after our own girl BOE Fashion Forward and BOE Ladykiller (also ours).

He is definitely a solo runner. He prefers the company of himself only, and will definitely be a one-person-horse as he grows older. He is very solitary, and has some attitude as he is half thoroughbred AND he is chestnut.

I will be his rider when he grows old enough, and train him from the ground until then.

Last baby up is the other filly in the batch: BOE Chapline, called Chappy or just Chapline. She is a Bay (EE Aa) Oldenburg filly after two grey parents and will probably grey out in time, which is a shame as her shade of bay is quite unique! Her dam is Opaline HF (bred by Ian Salvatore, owned by me) and RRS Caspian (bred by Ola Urban).

She is a girl with lots of energy and attitude bordering on hostile. Very curious, even if she prefers the company of her mother these days. Definitely another one person horse. Narcisa will be taking over her training as she grows older.

And then a few pictures of the babies from this morning. While Flyover was very energetic the other three was kinda sleepy in the midday sun xD

THE BOYS!

The chestnut boy is BOE Lady's Protector, and he has just reached his third birthday, just like the girls had in the former update. And the angry one in the middle is BOE Cider Safari, who came back to us a few months ago to get some rutine in shows and earn some points, before I have to find a new home for him.

From left to right we have BOE Akeystone (Apache Sunrise x GE Rosebank), RRS Weltino, BOE Cider Safari (BOE CTRL+ALT+DELETE x BOE Floretta), BOE Enrico, BOE Lady's Protector (BOE Ladykiller x BOE Fashion Forward) and BOE Solomeus! :D
