2011/2012

Welty delivered an exquisite chesnut filly by the Oldenburg Stallion RedWine (Rotspon X Matcho) at the end of June. The Rotspon/Weltmeyer cross has been established for many years as an excellent combination for dressage talents. RedWine is campained in the US as a hunter sire but his breeding is all dressage.
Inka (Red Ink) is pretty much what we were asking for. Super friendly temperament and so laid back but plenty of curiosity and spunk. Excellent topline and beautiful head and neck, strong croup, canter and trot with great engagement from behind and lots of freedom in the shoulder. She is growing very well, we are quite happy with her. She will be staying with us.

2011

Welty is open this year and being ridden regularly. She is a pleasure to ride: full of impulsion and yet very obedient she likes to work and despite being a career broodmare she has lost none of her suppleness. It is certainly a treat to enjoy her under saddle this year. She will be bred in the spring.

2010

Welty delivered a beautiful chesnut filly by Rubignon on May 2nd.

This 16.2hh, black, Oldenburg stallion by the famous Rubinstein was listed for the Swedish Dressage Team in 2008 and 2009, in addition to 17 Grand Prix wins and placings. A judge for the Oldenburg inspection committee recently commented that Rubignon moves even better than Rubinstein himself. On the dam side, Rubignon offers a proven lineage with his maternal grandsire, Donnerhall and his maternal dam sire, Pik Solo. Rubignon offers a well rounded dressage pedigree, with proven performance generation after generation. Rubinstein crossed with Weltmeyer; we are hardly re-inventing the wheel, this is a proven cross for spectacular dressage talents.

This is the first full Hanoverian to grace our fields. Short coupled, powerfully built with the most amazing topline: once more the apple did not fall from the tree. Rubignon improved on Welty's canter and neck set and most definitely stamped this filly with his looks and, we hope, his talent for advance dressage. For those who have seen candid pictures of her sire; she can't denny who Daddy is!!

2009

In 2009 Welty delivered a colt by Dacaprio for her previous owner.

Prior to 2009

Welty was born and bred in Germany where at 3 yrs of age she was inspected and performed her Mare Performance Test where her scores earned her the title of Elite Candidate mare. She was then bought and imported by Marefield Meadows of Virginia. With the birth of her first foal she completed the requirement for her Elite Mare status. She was then acquired by Paradox Ranch of Colorado as a broodmare. Over the last few years she produced quality foals: Aramis by Arrian, Farley's Paradox and Fieryie. Both are by Fabuleux.
