For the First Time, HGF Offers Breeding Services
It is well-known that HGF has not offered stallion services in the past, but now following the Olympic success of Grandioso III, HGF is working with Malaga-based breeding operation Yeguada Nadales to offer breedings to Grandioso VII (full brother to Grandioso III). Grandioso VII is a 16.2 hand (165 cm) stallion branded Yeguada Marin Garcia, who exhibits the same quality and scope of movement as his brother, with additional stature and overall size. Grandioso VII has competed successfully in dressage in the United States and has been bred in Spain at both Yeguada Nadales and Marin Garcia. Cooled and frozen semen available. E1000.00 plus shipping and processing. For more information, contact Pedro Nadales at 011-34-617-39-25-93 or yeguadanadales@gmail.com or contact Hampton Green Farm.

Introducing Encanto!
Earlier this month, HGF and Spanish rider Daniel Martin Dockx introduced HGF-bred Encanto XI to dressage competition in Estepona, Spain. Encanto is a 2002 son of Evento (1996 Olympic Spanish Team horse) and HGF's Cantora XVI. This colt showed promise at a young age and a partnership was formed between Daniel Martin and HGF to campaign Encanto in Spain. The horse was started under saddle in Wellington by Gary Smith and then sent to Malaga, Spain in 2007 to be trained by Daniel, who had previously owned and trained HGF's Cosaco to Grand Prix. Their first-ever outing was a large national dressage show (CDN3) near Marbella, and they did a single Prix St. George class. Of 25 horses, the pair finished third with a 64.7 on the heels of the ANCCE-sponsored entry. A super debut and a promising future! Congratulations Dani and Encanto! We will continue to report here on their progress.
