Dark Bay Hanoverian Filly

Royal Fortune (Romanov x Sandro Hit) 5 wks

Royal Fortune WS front right leg markings ... very cool!

November 20, 2010  SHE'S HOME just in time to make our Thanksgiving complete! Royal Fortune WS (Romanov x Sandro Hit (Davignon)) has finally arrived from Germany. It's been a long, tiring journey for our 7+ month old filly but she's bright, alert and curious about everything! BIG thanks Kareen Heineking-Schütte, DVM of German Horse Connection ... your TLC shows!  Gotta love her unusual front right leg markings ... very interesting!

November 9, 2010  We are so excited ... Royal Fortune is on a plane and flying into New York today!  She's only 7 months old but is growing up to be quite the beauty.  We are so fortunate to have Kareen Heineking-Schütte, DVM of German Horse Connection (who is the wonderful caretaker of our "girls" in Germany) accompanying her on this flight.  Talk about going above and beyond!  What a journey for this youngster ... we're very excited for her to come "home" to Walkabout Station.

2011 Danish Horse of the Year!

 

Royal Fortune's Dam, Step by Step, is a gorgeous mare whose pedigree needs little introduction.  SbS has gaits to die for!  Flexible, athletic and a proven broodmare who did very well on her mare testing: 

Temperament/ Character /Workability: 8.00
Trot: 8.8, Canter 7/8, Walk 8/7: overall 7.67
Rideability: 8/8, Free Jumping 7/9, Technique 8/7: overall: 7.75 Jumping

Blue Hors Romanov in 2006 won the silver medal at the Danish championship for 6-year old horses. In 2005 he won, and in 2004 he also achieved a silver medal. He was champion at the stallion selection in Herning in 2004 and  the runner up champion in Oldenburg 2002. It appears that Romanov has what it takes to become an international dressage champion. Romanov is by the multiple champion Rohdiamant, who was approved and main premium winner in Oldenburg. Rohdiamant was federal champion twice and competed in Grand Prix under Lisa Wilcox. His damsire Grundstein II presented successful international dressage horses and show jumpers at world class level. The rideability component is assured in the third generation through Akzent II. The bloodline of Rudilore has produced several stallions over the past years: Rubin Royal, Rumicello, Rubino Vincento (all three full brothers to Romanov), Conterno Grande, Couleur Rubin, D-Day, Gio Granno, Markgraf, Tantris and Don Chico. The foundation mare Rudilore II was an international three-day eventing horse. Out of his first breeding season three sons has been selected for the Danish licensing in Herning in 2007

March 30, 2010  Kareen took these photos when Royal Fortune was up and about ... just a few hours old.  This is a breeding worth repeating!  Thanks Kareen ... keep the photos coming ... I'm in LOVE!

                       

March 30, 2010  Wahoo!  Kareen called with great news and sent us these brand new pictures of our new addition all gift wrapped (she arrived around 5:30am)!  Our mare in Germany, Step by Step (Sandro Hit x Davignon (Werther)) had a beautiful dark bay filly by Blue Hors Romanov (Rohdiamant x Grundstein II (Akzent II)) this morning!  Yes, I said FILLY!  I'm so excited ... we have been colt heavy for the last 3 years so having a filly is very exciting!  In staying with Kareen's "Pirates of the Caribbean theme" for this year, we have named her Royal Fortune (a famous pirate ship).  Difficult theme for a filly!
