EXTRACTS FROM HQ/HORSE
QUARTERLY MARCH/APRIL 2008
“2007 Statistics
Of the 154 horses entered in
the open classes, the majority are imported (63) with the Thoroughbreds (44)
and SA Wambloods (SWAs) (43) being quite evenly represented and Namibian
breeders producing four.
So, although the imported
horses were by far in the majority, the top three performers throughout the
previous three days excluded any European imports.
The SA Derby
Twenty two horses paraded for the main
event, the 2007 Avis South African Derby: eleven imported horses, two
Namibian Warmbloods, five South African bred Warmbloods and four
Thoroughbreds. Top qualifier was the Namibian Warmblood, Midgard Glarmour,
owned and ridden by Paige Schiller and bred by Midgard Stud. This
horse is out of the same dam as Mirja Horsthemke’s Midgard Grannus”

Dear Riders, Breeders and
Horse Friends
I am attempting to organise a Namibian excursion for the well known
South African Equestrian photographer, Hennie van den Berg (PRESTIGE
PHOTOGRAPHY) for the beginning of May 2008.
Hennie is one of the best horse photographers in South Africa and
attends almost every big event (Show jumping, Dressage, Showing etc.)
all over the country.
Should anyone be interested in exploiting his services, please contact
me as soon as possible. The arrangements, itinerary and costs involved
are subject to your responses, as his airfare will be shared by all
interested parties. Thus, the more people involved the cheaper for
all!!
Keep in mind that everyone
involved will be responsible for, and will have to coordinate
transportation for Hennie to and from the different points of
destination. He will be based 80km east of Windhoek at Farm Bodenhausen,
and I trust that those staying far away would provide accommodation at
no cost.
Warmblood Breeders: Should Hennie take photos of your stallions,
it will be ready in time for publication in the stallion register,
compiled by Lynda Rabie.
I believe that this is a great opportunity for all of us, as we would
have superior quality photographs for our websites / brochures / or
other advertising means. Please, don't let this prospect pass, contact
me without delay. I would like to start planning as soon as possible.

Bellini Go
impressed the judges with his type and appearance, and also with his
impulsion and movement. Noble, with an expressive posture and flawless
interior Bellini Go is always friendly and alert.
The
highly-decorated premier mare, Belle Petite by Habicht, produced a
stallion who thoroughly secures the breeding values of his forebears.
Bellini Go is a highly noble stallion with an unmistakably Trakehner
exterior. His ground-covering, efficient movement is impressive. At his
keuring he showed energetic impulsion and light-footed movement, with
good suspension. He was the only three year old keured in Ausfeldt and
he impressed with his capacity to jump.
He passed his stallion licensing
in Prussendorf 2002 and gained marks like Character 8.0, Readiness to
perform 9.0, Constitution 8,5 Rittigkeit 7,96 and jumping abillety 8.0.
Inseminations 07/11/2007
On the 16 - 19 October we had our first fresh
semen program on Seeis. 16 mares were prepared with Ovarian
Steroids and unfortunately 3 mares showed no heat and 5 had
multiple follicles. I think we started the program to early and
the condition of the mares was not good enough - no green in the
veld. All mares what were stabled showed good heat.
We have 8 pregnancies out of this batch ( 2
mares not examined at this stage)
The good news is that the semen tapping of
the stallions was very successful.
(Consuelo, Nile Game, Ulrich
and Connoisseur
I would like to start a new synchronization
program on Saturday the 17 November. The mares must be injected
every day till the 26 November and than delivered to Seeis on
the Monday the 3 December. I can do fresh or frozen semen. For
fresh semen we will have Consuelo, Ulrich, Connoisseur and Nile
Game available. Please contact me if you are interested at
wspath@namibnet.com.
Thank You,
Dr. W. Spath
Synchronisation in mares:
Inject for 10 days
3 ml Ovarian Steroids. On day 10 inject also 1 ml estrumate
Day 18 the mares must be examined and prepared for insemination.
If follicle is big inseminate on day 19 otherwise on day 20.

Inspection and licensing 2007
This year’s licensing took place at the end of May
2007/beginning of June 2007.
We had been fortunate again to have Mr.Cord Wassmann,
retired chairperson of the Hannoverian licensing committee, with us to
act as chief judge of their licensing committee.
Licensing took place at the farms Voigtskirch, Locarno
and Midgard. The Central licensing were held at Reitgemeinschaft
KleinWindhoek at the Avis Dam.
A lot of breeders took the opportunity to participate
at the central licensing to show their breeding stock to a broader
public.
For the first year now it has been made compulsory for
stallions to get licensed at that central place, to better draw a
comparison between the stallions to judge.
In total 3 of the six presented stallions got their
license certificate.
The winner in the stallion licensing is “Okongava
Moana“by “Pepino/Voigtland Adjudant“
The overal winner in the mares licensing is “Locarno
Montana“ by “Acclaim(Accord-Zeus) -“Graveur“ –“Montezuma xx“
It was a pleasure to have Mr and Mrs. Wassmann as
our
guests and Mr.Wassmann gave valuable advice to the licensing committee
and breeders.
