Belle de Jour EdA is a young feminine mare with good overall conformation, ground covering gaits and ideal dispositions. She is daughter to legendary Brentano II, Hanoverian stallion of the Year 2003, who has been undoubtly one of the most important sire for the hanoverian dressage breeding world. Belle de Jour EdA displays strong influence from her famous sire, charm and refinement from her beautiful dam Serenti.

Belle de Jour is easy going, learns quickly, and is a real pleasure to train. She has been backed in 2011 Fall, and will resume her training at the weaning of her 2012 foal. She loves to be the center of the attraction, and always behaves perfectly.

Belle de Jour EdA is sold! We'd like to congratulate Mrs. Annie Massé for this wonderful acquisition. She will stay at our farm until the weaning of her 2012 filly, wich is also sold, via our Custom foal program.

Belle de Jour's dam is Serenti. Brentano II, sire of Belle de Jour, sadly passed away in 2010. He left behind him a whole legacy of talented international Dressage horses, and numerous high quality broodmares. But his prepotency is no coincidence. Brentano II is out of a dam by Grande x Ferdinand, product of a solid damline...

BRENTANO II, Belle de Jour's sire, was honoured as Hanoverian Stallion of the Year in 2003, for his contribution to the breed. For his fame, we can name Brentina Z (Debbie McDonald), Olympic medallist and World Cup horse, Barclay II, also international GrandPrix level horse, Bennetton’s Dream, approved stallion, Champion of his licencing and stallion performance test, as well as Champion stallion at World Equestrian Championships for young horses in 2007. Brentano II was also damsire to famous Poetin, as well as to approved hanoverian stallion Samarant. We can also find him in 3rd generation of Quaterback. Brentano II was the licencing champion in 1985 and placed second at his stallion performance test in 1986 with a score of 141 for Dressage. He was 4th at the Bundeschampionate in 1986, an as in 2010, 101 of his daughters were State Premiums. His daughter Bona Dea was the 2000 Ratje-Niebuhr Show Champion mare.

BOLERO, Brentano II's sire, was born in 1975 and died at the young age of 12. He was one of the "new" dressage sire for the Hanoverian breed, bringing lots of tb blood who contributed to the elegance of his descendants. Bolero was by the elegant thoroughbred Black Sky, a grandson of Djebe by Djebel. Black Sky progeny were always very rideable dressage horses. Bolero comes from the same damline than the popular sires Grenadier, Hitchcock and Winner. Bolero is also found in Bellissimo M's pedigree. Bolero was an useful sire but his career cut short too soon. He is now proving to be a wonderful sire of broodmares. His 9 breeding seasons resulted into 47 licenced stallions, like Brentano II, Beltain, Banter, Beauvalais, Bergkristall, Baryshnikov, Batido, Bordeaux I and II, Brandenburg and Bruderherz. 1/3 of the broodmares he sired got their State Premium status. He sire the 1989 and 1991 Louis-Wiegels Show Champion mares, as well as three Bundeschampionate winners, and many Grand Prix Dressage horses, like Beauvalais (Individual Silver medal and Team Bronze at 2002 WEG, Team silver and Individual bronze at Athen's Olympics in 2004)

GRANDE was lucky to ever got a chance to cover mares since he was little and not terribly impressive to look at. But he was out of good bloodlines and it turned out that Grande went on to produce 33 approved sons, 34 State Premium mares and some top showjumpers. Grande's son Gralsritter was the Hanoverian Stallion of the Year in 1993. Gralsritter sired in return Grandeur, who had a spectacular showjumping career and was a spectacular sire. But the one everybody remembers from Grande is Graphit, winner of almost two million DM and sire of the most important jumping stallinos of them all: Grannus. Grande represents the old Hanoverian Goldschaum xx line, carried on through the foundation sire Goldfish II.

POPRAD comes from one of the best jumper lines in the Trakehner breed. He competed twice in the Olympics in Showjumper, at Mexico and Munich, for Poland. Many-time competitor in the Nations Cup (18 times), Poprad was a horse who used to leave his heart in the struggle for laurels in the arenas in the 1960s, and who after his career ended gave to sport and breeding among others: Czaprak, Lampart, Artus, Arion, Aspirant and many others. He was imported to USA at the end of his life, and contributed to the beginning of the NATA/ATA. Poprad is a legend in Polish equestrian sport. He passed onto his offspring stamina, pretty head of a good shape, a long neck and dark coat. Rarely you will see his valuable blood for performance so close in today's horse pedigree.
