About Our Mares
Our broodmares. This page is a tribute to the amazing girls that have built the foundation of our breeding program and an overview of some of the foals they have produced. Our program comes from the understanding that one particular thoroughbred line is present and dominate in all the top horses of the modern world and so this stays as our focus every breeding season.

Anna
Mumma of Laudallander, Allander Frankie, AllNZ Hololio Flight (Fletcher), AllNZ Georgie. Laudallander (Hugo) Named after my great grandfather. Who was an race horse owner in the early 1900’s and won the New Zealand cup on 1916 with a colt call Ardenvor and in 1927 he won the Takapuna cup with The Lover.
Anna (pictured above with her Lansing foal) was by Centaine and carried great thoroughbred blood from Precipitation through Summertime and So big in her dam sire line.
Her first foal, Hugo by Littorio Hol is a lovely modern type of colt and I was always keen to keep him to breed him back over good thoroughbred mares to get the ¼ holsteiner ¾ thoroughbred mix so desirable to eventing.
Of course it was frowned upon by the Holsteiner breeders as we were only meant to be breeding over Thoroughbred mares as the foundation to start our Holsteiner breeding program then breed those fillies produced in the first cross back to Holsteiners to breed up our Holsteiner base in New Zealand.
We did both with our mares but after a few years decided that the greater the thoroughbred blood the better the athlete and the argument that the breed with more Thoroughbred would lose the movement and jump was not proven to be a factor in my experience anyway. Probably because In New Zealand we have the best thoroughbred in the world.
So Hugo made premium at classification, he was not classified until he was a yearly as we missed the tour the year he was a foal as the Hosteiner association, then part of Australia, only came out to classify horses in the south island that first year. So even as a gangly yearling he was an outstanding colt.
There is more information about Hugo on our sires page.*****
Allander Frankie Is Hugo`s full sister, She was also a premium foal and the top scoring filly and champion foal at classification in 2007 also that year the Classification tour was trans-Tasman which made Frankie the top scoring foal in Australia.
An unfortunate and mysterious paddock accident, while away for jump schooling ended Frankie`s career prematurely.
We had a call from the trainer to say we had to pick her up from the vets. When we tried to find out how the injury occurred we were told she had not been worked for 10 days and must have done something in the paddock. I guess the paint on her hooves from the jump pole came from the paddock too??? Luckily she is able to be a broodmare and has produced some outstanding foals.
Frankie’s first foal by Johnson bred while out on lease to Andrea Martin.
Our Frankie is now breeding foals and owned by Catherine Jauffret.
All NZ Hololio Flight (Fletcher) By All NZ Caballo which made him ¾ thoroughbred ¼ Holsteiner. He was a beautiful young horse very correct and although only a small horse was super refined with a big horse movement. He was very much admired as a youngster for his floating trot and superb cadence.
Fletcher is now owned by the very talented Pia Elworthy Jone who is doing a lovely job with him in Dressage and show jumping and we understand they are best friends!

All NZ Georgie by Lansing hol
Anna`s last foal, Champion filly, champion foal…
We have retained Georgie for our breeding program. She has a limited selection of embryos for sale or can be inseminated to the stallion of your choice. You will find more information on the CryNZ mares page. ******
What an incredible legacy Anna Has left!

Bella
Also carries that great thoroughbred Precipitation blood and produced all premium foals in her time with us. When I bought Bella she was 7 and already in foal. She produced a lovely colt, Freeway & Like all Bella`s foals he was a very athletic type of horse.
Bella was un unregistered thoroughbred mare so was unbranded this was because the thoroughbred colt that was her father has jumped the fence and served Bella`s mother without permission. Or so we were told when we purchased her.
Some time later while at an event someone came up to me and told me they had a horse that was out of Bella (bred before we purchased her) and they had been told Bella`s Father was a warmblood colt. We both had paper work for Bella but they were not the same sire. It`s fair to say we were both horrified and neither of us knew who had the correct information. It was then I realized the importance of parental DNA testing. It took some time to get this information and prove Bella`s parentage, luckily the person who originally bred Bella still had the information we needed. She had sold her to the person I bought Bella from and was also horrified we had been lied to.
Allander Freeway, as a 5 year old.
Year two came Fly, he was by Ballycotton who was a Irish hunter cross. We sold him as a 5 year old to Vicky Martin and he has remained with the Martin family since then. He was born in 2002 so that was a match made in heaven.
It was then I started to understand the importance of the stallion. This lead to my interest in the Holsteiner horses.
The stallions that were licenced by the Holsteiner verband in Germany were performance tested and only the best of the best were given a breeding permit or license.
There is a big difference between those stallions and Holsteiner stallion not licenced by the verband but licenced by other inferior studbooks in Europe. I caught on to that pretty quickly as stallion owners can be very good at wording their advertising campaign to make it appear a stallion is something he is not.
For our part were believe that although “performance breeds performance” in Europe the climate here was very different. In Europe that statement holds true because there is already hundreds of years of selective breeding behind the horses, But in New Zealand our warmblood gene pool resembled more of a gene puddle than a gene pool. Our performance mares were likely not very well bred and therefore not breeding quality.
Our point of difference in the breeding world is the quality of our Thoroughbreds.
Enter Littorio!
Not only was he licensed by the Holsteiner verband he was champion stallion of the stallion approvals of his year. (1995) They don`t come any classier than that!
He was a beautiful stallion and I believe has left a great pool of mares to grow our gene pool.
So the first year I bred both my mares to Littorio. Anna produced Hugo (above) and Bella produced Rocket.
Allander Rocket at 4 years old.
Rocket was a premium foal at classification with Norbert Boyley from the German Holsteiner Verband and David Quick from Australia. He appeared on the cover of the Australian Holsteiner association magazine and in 2007 & was the model for the free jumping lesson with Timm Peters from the Holsteiner verband after that years classification. The session was written up in the Horse trader with some lovely photos of Rocket and some of our young ones.
Rocket was then professionally produced in Dressage and show jumping and sold at the age of 5 to Lydia Trusdale. Rocket had a resting heart rate or 28 beat per minute. He really is the ultimate eventing horse!
Next came Felix, All NZ Caballo, he is by Carpaccio Hol Felix was a premium colt at classification. The classifiers were very impressed at what natural balance he possessed for a young very long-legged foal. He was born at 9 in the morning and got to his feet within minutes, bucked and cantered off! He did not trot for about 3 weeks. He much preferred canter and still does.
He has produced many premium foal and the all share he natural balance and cadence.
You can see more about Felix on the stallion page.****
The next year Bella produced a filly, finally, “Allander Foxtrot” a full sibling to Felix.
Foxtrot was professionally produced and sold as a 5 year old but has recently found her way back to us and we are very excited to have her joins our breeding program. She is a very elastic mover and has an outstanding jump.
She will be available for a limited amount of embryos this season. There is more information about Foxtrot on the CryNZ mares page.***
The following year Bella had Fergie by Laudallander So she was the first year we were able to cross our Premium colts back over our thoroughbred mares giving us the ¾ thoroughbred ¼ Holsteiner mix.
Fergie was a lovely type of youngster She had long legs and a real refinement.
We were so pleased with Fergie we put Bella back in foal to Laudallander again the next season and she produced another cracker filly “Isabella” She was also sold as a yearling to the south Island.
Its fair to say Anna and Bella were the foundation of our breeding program without these two outstanding mares we would not have had such success with producing consistently premium foals and ultimate athletic types. They were the best of friends…Anna and Bella..as long as Bella did what Anna wanted. They are buried side by side overlooking the Raglan habour at the farm they lived most of their lives on. They live on in their broodmare Daughters Georgie and Foxtrot.
By this time we had been on the hunt for a few more good thoroughbred mares that needed to not only have great bloodlines but also be conformationally beautiful and be good natured. Those girls were; Bomb, Maggie, Ginger, and Lucy. These mares carried the great bloodlines of Preciptation, Blue Peter, Century, Sir Tristram, Eight Carat, His Majesty, Kaoru Star, Mr Prospector, Timing, Precipitation, Summertime and Le Filou.
