Sevenoaks Furst Rafael SOLD

Our handsome Fursten-Look colt 'Sevenoaks Furst Rafael' has sold to a wonderful home in New South Wales. We couldn't be happier with the home he has found with Leanne and Tanisha Ryan in the Southern Highlands. Tanisha is a very dedicated young rider currently competing two horses at FEI and she has big plans in store for our Frankie.

Catching Up With Our Babies.

Recently I had the opportunity to catch up with some of the beautiful horses we had bred and sold as youngsters whilst on holiday in Melbourne. To say I am thrilled with their loving new homes would be the understatement of the year!!! Both Sevenoaks Luciana (Lauries As) and Sevenoaks Quintano (Quaterhall) are from EM Sevenoaks Fabiana (Fishermans Friend), and they have grown up into very elegant, modern horses with great charisma and personality. It was such a pleasure to catch up with them and their wonderful owners, I can't thank them enough for giving our kids the best opportunities and lots of love.

Recent Sales

We have had a big month of sales recently! Benchmark Dream On (Don Index) has been sold to an ambitious young rider, and Scarlatti Mio VSR (Sam Amour) has sold to a wonderful FEI home. We are thrilled that both these lovely black Hanoverians will be staying in QLD. Long Park Fantasia (Negro) has found a great pony dressage home in NSW and MS Cocktail (Charmeur) has been snapped up immediately by an FEI rider down south.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the owners of these horses for trusting me to produce them, and congratulations to their lucky new owners!

Sevenoaks Dancing Diamond

We are so thrilled to announce that our special Danciano colt born January 2018 has been sold! Congratulations to Stef Neergaard on the acquisition of your next dressage partner in Sevenoaks Dancing Diamond. Aside from being a wonderful friend of Sevenoaks, Stef is a repeat client, having purchased her current horse Felini R through us in 2016.

2018 Hanoverian Foal Assessments

This year we proudly presented TWO gorgeous colt foals for Hanoverian inspection in February! The first colt was five weeks old, the chestnut 'Sevenoaks Furst Rafael' By Fursten-Look from Sevenoaks Rafaela (Rotspon). The bay colt was 3 weeks old, 'Sevenoaks Dancing Diamond' by Danciano from Premium Mare Sevenoaks Limelight (Lauries As). Both colts were a little young to fully show their paces off in the sand but we were stoked with the feedback from British judge Katy Holder-Vale, and proud of their silver awards.

2018 Hanoverian Mare Performance Testing

On the recent Hanoverian Horse Society Classification Tour I presented the lovely black mare Benchmark Dream On, for mare classification and performance testing on behalf of her owners/breeders Benchmark Hanoverians. Dream is by Don Index, and from the Elite mare Benchmark Rock On, who herself is by Rotspon. This has been a very popular cross in Germany and I am proud to say Dreams exceeded our expectations! She classified very well, and went on to free jump superbly. She worked well under saddle to receive wonderful scores from our visiting UK judge and I was most proud of her exceptional rideability score awarded by the guest rider. Dreams is more than just good looks!!
Not only was she awarded champion of the mare test on the day amongst some very classy mares, but she took out the national highest score for jumping, and Australian 2018 mare testing overall winner!!! To cap off a wonderful result, the judge also awarded her the prestigious "Best Hanoverian On Tour" award for 2018. A big thankyou to Dreams owners for allowing me to present her, it was a pleasure.

Brisbane CDI

This year we had Sevenoaks Romanov (Riverside) in the 5yo class at the Brisbane CDI. After a tense first round after a fright at the speaker system, Oscar redeemed himself to move up into 6th place in the second round. The Brisbane CDI committee put on a wonderful show and it was great to see the quality and depth of breeding really growing in the young horse classes in QLD.

Almazaan Rhapsody's First Outing

Almazaan Rhapsody, our youngest member of the team at just 3yo, went out to her first competition at Lockyer Equestrian Group at Gatton, and behaved impeccably! What was more remarkable was that it was her first ever outing off the property, and she WON both her official tests, bringing home the preliminary championship!

I was stoked to win the class and take home this lovely rug sponsored by Jeannine at Jembrae Hanoverians.

Two Wonderful Boys SOLD!

Congratulations to TWO very lucky ladies who have both purchased a lovely horse off us at the end of March!

2016 Competition Season Underway

The 2016 competition season has begun, with a great competition at Gatton In January, run by the Hanoverian Society. The Young Horse event was well run and saw Sevenoaks Romanov (Oscar) place in both the 5yo tests and handle the indoor atmosphere well. In March we headed down the coast to NADEC for 2 wins in the novice tests, with scores up to 77%!! The success has continued into April, with a win in the novice test at Redlands Dressage on the 3rd, and Oscar completed his first elementary test, for 2nd place! Totally thrilled with this 5yo who has really stepped up this year. One more competition next weekend followed by a short break.

2015 NEWS!!

Welcome 'Sevenoaks Riviera'

On the 5th of December 2015 we welcomed 'Ruby' to the world! Ruby is by the imported Hanoverian stallion 'Riverside' so she carries the famous GP dressage lines of Regazzoni and Donnerhall through her sire. Her dam is the Premium Mare Sevenoaks Limelight, who is sired by Lauries As, so Ruby has GP genetics on all sides of her pedigree. We are thrilled with her safe arrival, and cannot wait for her future, we believe it will be big!

End of the 2015 Season

After the recent QLD State Dressage Championships in August, the QLD dressage scene started to wind down. Kaitlin competed Sevenoaks Romanov at the state champs, in the prelim and the novice divisions. It was another big trip away from home for the 4yo, in his first competition season, but he handled it with maturity and confidence. He placed in the prelim and the novice tests, and Kaitlin was rapt to finally crack over 70% at a state championship event! Oscar is now enjoying a well earned 2 month holiday before he comes back into work..... the beginning of 2016 will see Kaitlin focus on the 5yo YH classes with Oscar, before pushing on to an elementary start later in the year.

A BIG thankyou must go to our super farrier, Don Campbell for his sponsorship this season, and for always ensuring that Oscar was well equipped with his dancing shoes ;)

Recent Sales

The beginning of Spring has seen TWO of our beautiful young geldings find super new homes. The first, Mosswood Rascalini, a 3yo Hanoverian gelding by Regazzoni, has found a new home in Bendigo, Victoria. His new owner was the first to see him, and has secured her next competition horse. She has big ambitions for Rascal, and I am sure we will see them out on the Victorian dressage scene very soon.

The second lucky horse, Sevenoaks Don Diego, has found himself a beautiful home with a young rider on the Gold Coast. 'Hugo' is the product of our second generation breeding program, and his bloodlines (Don Index/Rotspon) suggest he will be a very talented dressage horse! Combined with his good looks, his new owner hopes to pursue a successful dressage and showing career with Hugo, and we wish them all the best! Hugo is shown below at 2 days old, and at 2 years old.

Brisbane CDI

Another great CDI, this time much closer to home, at the QLD State Equestrian Centre. Sevenoaks Romanov performed very well in the first round to receive 7.7 overall, including a 7.8 for walk and 7.8 canter! This placed him 4th in the first round. Oscar backed up on day 2 with another great performance and finally earned that elusive '8' for canter, that we have been trying so hard all year to achieve!!!! The young horse judges had incredibly positive things to say about Oscar, they loved his wonderful ability to sit and collect in both trot and canter, despite his young age, and they were most impressed by his sensible character and willingness to please. They stated that "This horse is one that has everything to go all the way to GP, and will be a top candidate for international sport." We couldn't be prouder of him!

Tweed Valley Dressage

A great day out over the border at Tweed Valley Equestrian Group last weekend (20/06) competing Sevenoaks Romanov in the 1.3 and 2.2. Oscar needed 2 more qualifying scores for the upcoming QLD State Championships, and after a win in the prelim with 73% and a place in the novice with 68%, safe to say we have the scores required! It was only Oscar's second novice competition, so I am rapt that he has gained such great scores from so few starts!

Sydney CDI a Success

The beginning of May saw us making the long trek down to Sydney International Equestrian Centre with Sevenoaks Romanov (Oscar) for the CDI. Oscar travelled like a seasoned professional the whole way down, despite the long trip on his own, and settled well at SIEC. The busy CDI atmosphere didn't phase him, and he did a great test in the first round, to score 7.5 and slide into 5th place! He did a better test on Friday, and we are rapt that he handled the event without stress, and to get a place is a bonus. We were rapt with the comments from the international judges that Oscar is a horse with the potential for FEI, and look forward to his future with Kaitlin.

Sevenoaks Romanov - 4yo Champion!

At a recent official event held in Toowoomba, the wonderful Sevenoaks Romanov (Riverside) went superbly despite only just coming in from a holiday. He did a lovely, forward test in the 4yo class, to win achieving scores of 7.5 for trot and canter. He went on to do a brilliant (but slightly tired) prelim test to place second with 72%. Romanov now has 3 qualifying scores for the Sydney and Brisbane CDI this year, and is now fully qualified for the QLD State Championships in August.

2015 Australian Hanoverian Tour

The 2015 Australian Hanoverian tour kicked off at our farm on Saturday the 14th of February, with the inspection of our 8 week old colt foal. Sevenoaks Quintano (Quaterhall/Fishermans Friend) received great scores and earnt a silver class status award. Classifier Hartmut Wilking said that Quin was an outstanding type, with a pretty face, intelligent eyes, strong topline and super front end. We are rapt that the judges thought Quin was the ideal modern dressage horse type, and must congratulate Quin's new owners on the purchase of a wonderful dressage prospect.

2014 NEWS!!

Sayonara 2014!

As 2014 draws to a close, we reflect on the past year. 2014 was a big year for us, and December has seen a lot of change for us at the Farm. We have moved to a new property at Wanora, and are now only 45 minutes from the Brisbane CBD and airport. We are very happy to have found a new property, that's a little bit smaller and closer to Brisbane (and lessons, competitions and our vet!!), but it means beginning all over again. Most of our horses will enjoy a well deserved break in January while we focus on developing our property into the dressage and breeding facility we desire. Exciting times ahead!!!!!

In 2014 we sold several horses, and are rapt to hear that all of our new owners are forming wonderful partnerships with their new stars. We saw the arrival of Sevenoaks Don Diego (Don Index/Rotspon) in January, and the arrival of Sevenoaks Quintano (Quaterhall/Fishermans Friend) just before Christmas this year. Despit the upheaval of relocating, we have some confirmed pregnancies due in 2015, and are looking forward to their arrival later next year.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our wonderful supporters. In particular our veterinarians at WestVets, our super farrier Alan Eichler and Karo, our hard working German groom, and Kaitlin's right hand girl.

From Sevenoaks Farm, we wish all of our friends, family, clients and supporters a wonderful Christmas, and a relaxing New Year. See you in 2015!!!

Sevenoaks Luciana - SOLD

Our beautiful 3yo filly Sevenoaks Luciana (Lauries As x EM Sevenaoks Fabiana/Fishermans Friend) has been sold to a wonderful home in Melbourne.

This embryo is now 60 days old, by Quantensprung (Quando Quando/Donnerhall) and will be due in September 2015.

Sevenoaks Romanov - First Competition

Saturday the 13th of September Kaitlin rode Oscar at his first competition, the Gold Coast Dressage Spectauclar 2* event, and he came home with terrific placings! Oscar blew us all away, maintaining his cool and collected temperament and showed off his super paces, to do two wonderful tests.

Romanov - now under saddle!

We recently picked up our 3yo gelding by Riverside, Oscar, from the breakers. We are thrilled with the way he is going, and his paces are just incredible. He is so incredibly balanced, strong and uphill for a youngster, and he already displays a wonderful ability to sit. Kaitlin will be getting him out to some events soon, and he will be for sale in the coming months. We have already had a lot of interest in him since he has been under saddle, interested parties should contact us to be notified later this year when he is for sale.

Sevenoaks Friar Tuck - First Competition!

Very proud breeders this weekend!! Our first homebred baby that we sold interstate 'Sevenoaks Friar Tuck' by Fisherman's Friend, competed for the first time yesterday (28/06/14), taking home placings in the prelim at the VDC event at Werribee! Congratulations to all to all of his connections, wonderful to see him doing so well, and of course we love the updates!

Sevenoaks Luciana is back from the breakers!

This week (16th June) we picked up our wonderful rising 3yo Lauries As filly, Sevenoaks Luciana from the breakers. We are thrilled with the way she has handled all the changes to her life, and she is very easy, calm and confident to ride. Elle is from our foundation mare, EM Sevenoaks Fabiana (Fishermans Friend) and we can really see the influence both her parents have had on her so far.

Hanoverian Classification and Foal Show - March 2014

The annual Hanoverian classification and mare and foal show was held on Monday the 3rd of March, at the Gatton Indoor Equestrian Centre. We took our two foals, Sevenoaks Dark Diamond and Sevenoaks Don Diego, to be registered with the society and to participate in the foal show.

Our horses all looked wonderful thanks to the work of our wonderful groom for the day, Madi Allan, and the mares and foals were all very well behaved. Sevenoaks Don Diego (Don Index/Rotspon) scored particularly well, and was placed second in the foal show! He is an outstanding foal, and currently offered for sale.

Sevenoaks Dark Diamond's new owners came up from NSW for the day to meet him and they fell in love at first sight! Harry is 5 and a half months and has just begin the weaning process now that the show is over.

2013 NEWS

2013 Season Wrap Up

2013 has been one big roller coaster ride for us here at Sevenoaks Farm. Firstly we would like to thank our loyal ongoing clients and supporters, and we're happy to welcome lots of new friends and clients to our business.

We had a great start to the year, with the first foal we bred, 'Sevenoaks Fabiana' completing her Hanoverian mare performance testing in February, and being awarded Elite Mare Status. Fabiana is now 6 years old and after a successful career under saddle, she will now be retired to stud duties. We expect her next foal at the end of 2014. The 2013 Hanoverian Classification Tour also saw our Laurie's As filly 'Sevenoaks Limelight' awarded the premium award, something we were absolutely thrilled to receive.

The dressage season had a slow start this year due to all the wet weather, and Kaitlin was only able to attend two events before she headed off to Germany in June. She had an absolute blast in Hayley Beresford's stables, and was lucky enough to attend several big shows including the World Young Horse Championships in Verden, and the Bundeschampionate in Warendorf.

Kaitlin arrived home in October and immediately headed off to the QLD State Dressage Championships with her two Hanoverian geldings Remi Double Jeopardy (Don Cavallo) in the medium and Redwood Rockabilly (Rotspon) in the prelim championship. It was a fabulous weekend (although hot!), and marked the end of the competition season for 2013.

Our Pr.M Sevenoaks Limelight gave birth to an outstanding black colt (pic above) by Don Index (IFS) who we have named Sevenoaks Dark Diamond. Dark Diamond is a wonderful foal in every respect, and we anticipate a huge future for him in the dressage arena for whoever is lucky enough to purchase him. Our second mare 'Sevenoaks Rafaela' (Rotspon) is due to foal to Don Index in January, and we have already had several expressions of interest in this foal, and anticipate he or she will be snapped up quickly!

Next year we hope to have three foals on the ground, from EM Sevenoaks Fabiana, Sevenoaks Rafaela and also our first German Riding Pony foal from our Arabian mare Tilly. She has been bred to the sensational imported GRP stallion Golden Rock, which we are very excited about. Information on these mares can be found on this website under the 'Mares' tab, and we welcome expressions of interest in any of our horses including the 2014 foals.

We would like to wish all of our supporters and friends of Sevenoaks Farm a wonderful festive season, and we hope that 2014 will bring us all a lot of success and joy with our horses.

Cheers,

Kaitlin & Victoria.

Sevenoaks Dark Diamond has a photo shoot!

Earlier in December, our handsome foal Dark Diamond (Don Index/Laurie's As) had his first professional photo shoot, and he was a natural show off!!! Harry was 9 weeks old in the photo's taken by our wonderful friend and photographer Amie Barclay, and we are rapt with the pictures. We have used several of the pictures in Harry's upcoming Horse Deals Advertisement in January 2014.

A selection of Amie's photograph's of Harry are below.

Charming Connery - our first German Riding Pony!

Our first German Riding pony has arrived, hopefully the first of many more over the years! Charming Connery is 3yo, 14.1hh brown pony destined for big success in the pony dressage arena. He is by the GRP super sire Casino Royale K, who's sire FS Champion De Luxe needs no introduction! Connery is from Sunday Matinee, a lovely WB mare by Medallion who has produced countless dressage horses in Australia. Pics to follow of Charming Connery!

Just back from 3 great days at the QLD State Equestrian Centre for the State Dressage Championships. Remi Double Jeopardy competed in the medium and Redwood Rockabilly competed in the prelim. Both horses were well behaved and Kaitlin was particularly happy with Rocky who is young and handled it all exceptionally well.

Welcoming the newest addition - Sevenoaks Dark Diamond

On Monday the 30th of September, our Premium mare Sevenoaks Limelight (Laurie's As/Nadamme xx) had her first foal and our first foal for the 2013 season. A beautiful black colt by the Hanoverian stallion Don Index (Don Crusader/Wolkenstein 1) was born at midnight and is the latest addition to the farm. Named Dark Diamond due to the gorgeous face markings he's got we are totally rapt with him!

He is tall, leggy, elegant and already displaying such expressive uphill movement we couldn't be happier. He is offered for sale as he is a colt, and provides someone with the opportunity to acquire a standout foal for future young horse classes and beyond.

Rubinsaar Sold!

Ruben has sold to the first person to see him, and has already arrived at his new home in Victoria! He will begin training immediately with his new FEI owner/rider and we look forward to hearing of their future successes in the dressage arena.

Show Success!

On Saturday the 27th of April we took two horses to the Marburg Show. We wanted to give our yearling Sevenoaks Luciana (Laurie's As/EM Sevenoaks Fabiana) an outing for experience. We took our seasoned competitor Remi Double Jeopardy along with her as a sensible chaperone. Both horses were slightly overwhelmed initially by all the horses, carriages and side show rides, but were well behaved.

DJ was awarded reserve champion WB gelding, and Elle won 1st place in the filly 3 years and under, followed by reserve champion female WB exhibit. This was a great achievement as she competed against mares much older than herself.

Register your interest in our foals for the 2013 season!

Golden Rock

With 3 foals expected between September 2013 and January 2014, now is the time to contact us to register your interest in any of the upcoming arrivals! We already know that our Australian Ridin Pony mare is having a colt in September by the imported German Riding Pony 'Golden Rock.' This little colt will be expected to mature at 14hh and will be a sensational pony dressage candidate for the future!

We expect a Don Index (Ger) filly from our Premium Laurie's As mare in September as well. This filly will be a sensational future performance and breeding prospect. Finally we expect a foal from our Rotspon mare by Don Index in January. All of these foals will be offered for sale, and discounts will be available to performance homes and payment plans will be offered prior to weaning.

2013 Australian Hanoverian Tour

Sevenoaks Rafaela presented for classification at Remi Stud, March 2013

German classifier Dr Ludwig Christmann from the Hannoveraner Verband recently completed his tour of Australia assessing mares and foals for 2013. Queensland was his final destination and on Friday the 1st of March we presented our oldest progeny Sevenoaks Fabiana (Fisherman's Friend/Tynie's Rose xx) for her mare performance testing at Belcam Stud.

Ana free jumped with confidence and good scope, and performed well under saddle and under the guest rider. Ana scored high enough in all aspects of the test including her in hand classification to be approved as an Elite Mare. She had already fulfilled the requirement of giving birth to a Hanoverian foal in 2011, and we are delighted that Ana is now an Elite Mare.

On Sunday the 3rd of March, we presented 2 young mares for mare classifcation at the annual Remi Stud Open Day. Unfortunately the weather was not kind to us, with rain and sloshy conditions, but the show went ahead! We presented our 3yo chestnut filly Sevenoaks Limelight (Laurie's As/Nadamme xx) and our 4yo chestnut mare Sevenoaks Rafaela (Rotspon/Graf Landau).

Dr Christmann liked the type of Rafaela and awarded her high classification scores and she is now an elite mare candidate. He also liked the elegant type of Limelight and her fantastic trot, and at the completion of the tour he announced Limelight as the Premium Hanoverian Mare for 2013! We are very happy with the results of all 3 of our young mares on the annual Hanoverian tour, and we are excited to see what Limelight and Rafaela produce this season, as both are in foal to the exciting young stallion Don Index.

Ruben has been campaigned in the second half of 2012 by Kaitlin and has come a long way into developing into a dressage horse! This week in October Ruben is off to his new home in Victoria where Kaz looks forward to forming a partnership with this talented gelding and competing him in 2013. Below is a video of his last ride with us.

Don Unique Video

Rubinsaar

In July we helped lucky owner Kaz Morphett in Victoria purchase the wonderful Rubinsaar. Ruben is a 6yo liver chestnut gelding by the imported stallion Riverdance out of a Winterkoenig mare.

Our newest arrival, the stunning brown gelding Redwood Rockabilly has gone to the breakers on Monday the 21/11/11. In the little bit of work we have done with him in the week since his arrival, we are very impressed with his amazing nature.

We can't wait to see how he progresses at the breakers and we will update in a month with pictures of his first rides.
