Born June 10, 2009 (Royal Prince – Ariane – A Jungle Prince)
We are so blessed to welcome BW-Royal Splendor to our family! He joins his two champion brothers BW-Royal Aire, now owned by Sooner Hope Farm, and BW-Raphael who we are raising as a stallion prospect. We are completely taken with his luminous expression and stellar type. We look forward to introducing him at Fair Hill, ISR/Oldenburg N.A. and at Devon.
Emily took time out of her busy day to capture these beautiful images. We are continually refreshed by the beauty and majesty of these magnificent creatures!

Born June 1, 2009 (Harmony’s Wamberto – Primavera – Donnerhall)
This phenomenal colt, is the result of the superstar pairing of Harmony’s Wamberto with the Hassler’s beloved mare, St.Pr.St. Primavera. Wamberto was the 2006 Champion of the KWPN Stallion Show and was Champion of the 100-Day Stallion Performance Test at Paxton Farm in 2007. In 1992, Primavera was third in the three-year old championships in Verden, won the Riding Horse Championship at the Rastede Schloßpark and was proclaimed champion Oldenburg mare. Her record setting scores still stand today. Primavera was gifted to the Hassler’s by their dear friends Ingo and Susan Pape. This colt is Primavera’s latest embryo transfer foal…her first foal safely landing on the ground after three years of trying! He has been nicknamed Wonder Boy, given his obvious super talent and also the tremendous combined efforts of many over the years which finally resulted in his happy, safe arrival! Susanne and Scott thank their dear friends at Select Breeders Service, who persisted with them these past years in the efforts to recover a healthy embryo out of Primavera. They also thank the team at Equine Medical Services, headed by Dr. Foss in Columbia, Missourri, for their careful handling of their treasured embryo. He will make his homecoming to Riveredge in early July.
We are so excited for Martina Thiel-Poblotzki and her beautiful two-year-old Oldenburg filly (Contucci – Akteur – Le Mexico) as they prepare for the breed ring in 2009. Martina bred Cordialle and has been doing an exquisite job of conditioning her and preparing her for future under saddle work in 2010. We look forward to their successes!
We congratulate BW-Forte owned by Robin Lubert and trained by Dorie Addy-Crow for their stellar wins at 3rd level. Forte is by Festrauch and out of our St.Pr.St. mare, Danina.
We also congratulate BW-Callista owned by Leslie Valente and trained by Cathy Morelli for their numerous wins at 2nd Level. Callista was 4-Year-Old National Champion in 2006 under Tami Glover. Callista is by Contucci out of our star mare, Ariane –/*/-.
