This registered Canadian Trakehner mare makes a good companion for other horses, as she never was able to produce foals. She heralds back to Donauwind through her sire, Target, half brother to Abdullah, the Olympic jumper that won the Gold Medal for the U.S.A. in the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.

Lilleoett
Lilleoett is a registered A.P.H.A. Solid Breeding Stock Paint mare and a half Thoroughbred out of Finny. my A.P.H.A. registered tri-colour Tob-Overo mare. Some day I hope to breed Lilleoett as she has Northern Dancer and Deputy Minister on her Thoroughbred side.

Gratitude
Gratitude was shown at the Royal as a yearling but only began his show career under saddle in 2019 with Carly Wulf. This gelding is presently receiving training from Claudia (Frauchiger) Johnston of Hidden Valley Farm near Stayner. It is hoped that he will find a home with a rider that will take him to the top levels of dressage or 3-day eventing at which he is destined to compete.
Gratitude’s sire was the two-time world champion dressage horse, Gauguin de Lully, born in Switzerland but of Swedish Warmblood breeding. Vicki had hoped to repeat the bloodlines of Rigaletto (Reipo) and that is as close as she could get using Gauguin de Lully. Gratitude did take strongly after his dam in some respects but “Tude” has Lombard and Lortzing in her sire, Ginsberg’s pedigree. It is a known fact that the R.C.M.P. has brought over some of the best dressage bloodlines in Germany to produce the mounts for the Musical Ride. Gratitude is a grandson of our R.C.M.P. broodmare, Bonny. She was 75% Thoroughbred and 25% Clydesdale. Gratitude went to only his second dressage show (summer 2019) and came home with a championship in the basic dressage. Due to weather conditions, he didn’t attend his first Essa hunter show as planned on Sept. 22nd but some video is posted to show how versatile this young horse is.

Don’t Mind Me
As a yearling, “Stache” has shown extreme intelligence and a very sweet temperament. Like his sire, Dannebrog, he is more refined in his physical appearance with a kind eye and beautiful face. As he trots and canters around his paddock, it is breathtaking to watch. Since his grandsire has won an Olympic Bronze medal in 2008 at Beijing (Don Schufro) and was listed 9th in the Rolex WBFSH Top 10 Dressage sire rankings, we hope that Don’t Mind Me will have a bright future. The Blue Hors stable is an equine breeding facility producing some of the best dressage horses in the world, but how could they not? Dannebrog’s dam, St. Pr. St. Byzantina hails from an impressive line of State Premium mares from the renowned Cassette dam line, producers of Gribaldi (sire of Totilas), Karon (sire of Caprimond) and many more. Dannebrog did his 300 day stallion test in Germany so was ridden cross country, jumping and dressage. You may see a clip of his cross country jumping on Pangaea Farm’s website as David Burke imported Dannebrog to Canada and has stood him since 2017. Don’t Mind Me’s dam, Milka is by a Pangaea Farm stallion, Mattgold that David Burke also imported to his farm. Mattgold won Grand Champion Stallion at the C.N.E. in 1994. His pedigree speaks for itself. On both sides of “Stache’s” pedigree he has temperament and ridability with superb movement and athleticism for all Olympic disciplines.

Dash
This beautiful gelding is the result of breeding Bonny to Diamant, formerly of Charlot Farms in Stratford. Dash showed at the Royal as a three year old under Roy and Sue Fish of Twinholm Stable and was in the top ten in both the Governor’s Cup and the Lieutenant Governor General’s Cup classes. He is Vicki’s riding horse and is an example of what Affluent Farms has striven to produce.

Bonny
This broodmare, when purchased by Affluent Farms, had already produced six foals for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and her career ended by producing another seven foals for Vicki and Mark. She was 75% Thoroughbred and 25% Clydesdale so when the R.C.M.P. introduced Warmblood stallions such as Ginsberg, mares like Bonny were sold. Of those foals, three were cherished fillies which formed the broodmare herd to produce more Canadian Sport Horses for Affluent Farms. The colts (Mime by Mattgold), Dilemma (by Diamant), and Rigaletto (2003 Lieutenant Governor Cup class winner by Reipo) were sold but Vicki still owns Dash (by Diamant) to enjoy riding at her leisure.
Bonny’s Offspring
All Bonny’s colts were sold when Vicki and Mark first began breeding Canadian Sport Horses so that they could begin to build up a herd of broodmares. Bonny had produced six foals for the RCMP and seven for Affluent Farms. The colts were: Mime (1997), Dilemma (1998), Rigaletto (2000) and Dash (2004). All but Mime were shown at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair and all were in the top ten. Rigaletto, (sired by Reipo) placed 3rd in the Governor General’s Cup but won the Lieutenant Governor’s Cup class in 2003 under Sue Fish. Dilemma and Dash, were full brothers sired by Diamant, owned by Charlot Farms of Stratford where Vicki bought her first Canadian Sport Horse named Desirée II.

A Lil’ Tude
This mare was bred by the R.C.M.P. as Bonny, Tude’s dam, was in foal with this mare at the time of her purchase. “Tude” has produced a number of foals but we kept her daughter, Magnitude (by Mattgold) to continue our herd. Gratitude (by Gauguin de Lully), Tude’s last foal, is listed for sale on this site.
