Mount St. John, Great Britain's premier dressage horse breeding facility in Felixkirk, is eagerly looking forward to the 2017 foal season as the yard owns a collection of some of the best broodmares anywhere to be found in the world and has paired them to the most exciting dressage sires on the globe.
Mount St. John's owner and founder Emma Jane Blundell strongly lives by the philosophy to work with the best quality on offer. She collaborates with elite riders to train and compete her horses and carefully selects studs world wide to become part of her breeding programme.
New Mares Added to the Breeding Programme
Alongside the more established broodmares such as FBW Deja'Vu (by Dacaprio) and her daughters Front Row (by For Compliment - in foal to For Romance II) and Fascinate (by Furstenball - in foal to Ferdeaux), Mount St. John has added a few more smashing broodmares to her line-up. They include Josephine (by Jazz Time out of the dam of World Young Horse Champion Victoria's Secret - in foal to Benicio) and De Lux (by Donnerhall out of the full sister of Danone's dam - in foal to Zack).
Already in 2015 Mount St. John was very proud to acquire the stunning Hanoverian mare DMJ Diva Dannebrog (by Don Schufro). Her 2.5-year old son (by Zack) became the reserve champion at the 2016 Westfalian Stallion Licensing in Munster-Handorf, three weeks ago! Diva Dannebrog is expecting an embryo by Don Juan de Hus
