Nine are expected to stay mini. A bay and white and the palomino recently received a foal premium. Two bay foals are from the former European champion stallion 2012 with good dam lines. The small black one from the palomino 1st premium sire from has also a very good dam line. In the small size we see a bay and white and chestnut both with good pedigrees and a black with premium.
The 19 are completed by 7 in the larger sizes. Two are very attractive bred blacks, one was shown and got a premium. The black roan is also an eye catcher due to her color and outstanding pedigree The two piebalds are very promising and are both from good breeding sires.

Youth

All of them have received premiums, most of them already 2 or 3 times. Within the 10 born in 2021 we see 5 mini’s. Two piebalds, one with an excellent mini pedigree. The palomino was even classwinner at the regional show in Maren-Kessel. Striking is the grey buckskin with premium. The others are expected to became small size or low in the middle size. The two blacks got recently premium and one was even classwinner. The chestnut is of an excellent pedigree by the leading sire in chestnut breeding. The bay is bred very interesting and did well in showing. The skewbald is from a multi national champion mare out of a very high index sire, the only approved large size skewbald.
From the 12 two years old 7 are mini sized. In this group we see the junior mini champion of Bergharen 2022. Very stunning is the palomino bald and the other 5 have good pedigrees.

Two are in the larger sizes. A blue dun middle size from the famous Zandkamp stud and a large chestnut from the topstable Elsthof, which is really interesting for future breeding due to her toppedigree.
