Dear Breeders,

It gives us great pleasure to see that our studs and services have once again caught your attention in 2010.

An exciting year lies behind us, both in terms of breeding and marketing, but also in sporting terms. The financial crisis sent a wave of uncertainty rippling through the market and a sense of crisis was felt everywhere. Yet burying our heads in the sand while lamenting the state of affairs was – and is – not our nature. We intend to continue making our mark in breeding, sport and marketing and together with you want to sail safely into the new decade.

In 2010 we are planning to put even more energy into marketing our breeders’ horses and to offer a sales weekend in October for 2 to 6-year olds. Our breeders’ get-together with traditional Bavarian breakfast on 27.02.2010 will once again provide an opportunity for exchange and we’ll be on hand to give you advice and support wherever we can.

The sport continues to be an essential element of good breeding and marketing practice. Success like the victories at the Bavarian, Austrian and Italian Young Horse Championships show us that together with our breeders we are on the right path. Especially our junior champion “QDH” shone at many showjumping events and confirmed once more that he deserves the confidence that is placed in him. The “heavyweights” Acantus GK, Acasino B, Cosino B, Clyde, Cinquecento and Rahmannshof-s Baluga have found Europe-wide acclaim with great wins and rankings. We are more than happy with this development.

For us, the highlight 2009 was the birth of our second daughter Carla. She’s a healthy and very friendly little girl and beaming confidently at the world around her. Let’s be inspired by her confidence and approach the challenging year ahead with a bright smile.

We sincerely hope that 2010 will bring you all the best and hope that we can also make a small contribution with our horses, our commitment and services.

In the name of our family and the team we wish you lots of success and good health and of course lots of joy with your horses.
