Dear Breeders,

Thank you for looking at our new Website. It shows us that in 2007 our stallions once again managed to attract your attention with their outstanding sporting and breeding performance. On reflection, 2007 turned out to be a very special year indeed, just as we had expected it to be.

For us it started with the acquisition of Question d'Honneur, the exceptional jumping star at the South German stallion approval (süddeutsche Körung); he was awarded a 10.0 mark by the jury. This young stallion is out of the famous Holstein dam lineage 7126 that has produced countless outstanding sport horses. His excellent technique and jumping ability as well as his great character were enough to convince us, and he has already found many fans among the breeders. We are looking forward to his offspring.

With high levels of concentration and involvement our jumping stars Cosino B, Acasino B and Cinquecento further advanced their showjumping careers this year. With all three of them I had great results at international CSI *** events. Highlights included a 3rd place at the CSI*** Grand Prix in Abano Therme/ITA, 10th at the Munich Grand Prix and 4th at the Norwegian Grand Prix. Other highlights were winning the Moos and Ising Grand Prix events in Bavaria and taking part in the Drammen/NOR and Hickstead/GB Nation Cup. In the light of these results, the trio can proudly claim to be the most successful stallions in South Germany. Well done!
To round off the year, Acasiono B once again stood out at Munich Indoors. Another successful season - and a great reward for us and our breeders, who have put their trust in these stallions. Together with you, we celebrated our 30th anniversary on July 24.

With pride we are looking back on a family history of success. Josef Bachl started it all; his work grew year by year, and 30 years on, the small farm in the Rottal valley has become one of the biggest family-owned stud farms in Germany. The jubilee was a great day. We saw many interesting breeding mares and their offspring. Deals were done, and of course there was plenty of celebrating, too. Thank you very much for all your heart-felt wishes and gifts. We were truly overwhelmed.

Not long afterwards we could celebrate another success story: after nine months of waiting, our daughter Emma was born on 11.08.2007. Her happy face has been brightening up our world ever since.
Last but not least, the three-year mare Queen B (Caretello B/Quidame de Revel) won the South German free-jumping championships (Süddeutsches Freispringchampionat) on the last days of the year and was awarded an overall mark of 9.25: a great success for our "ex-champion" Caretello B, who celebrates his 20th birthday in 2008. All in all, 2007 was a great and eventful year; with excitement we are now looking forward to 2008. We hope that once again we will gain your trust this year and in cooperative partnership improve Bavarian sport horse breeding.

In the name of our family and our team we wish you all the best and lots of joy and success with your horses.
