After a two day Jet Pets/USDA importation quarantine at Los Angeles International Airport, Lyn Clarke and his fiancé, Katie Ellis, transported our three newest German fillies to Red Hawk Ranch. Jazz Saxophonist Jason Weber accompanied their arrival as the guests attending our Annual Open House watched on.

Two members of the Germany’s Mecklenburg Verband (Dr. Lothar Makowei, DVM and Bereiter Maik Ristedt) traveled with Dewey Beach, Serendipity, and Delaware Bay during their voyage aboard KLM Flight 601 from Amsterdam to Los Angeles.

Since Maik first highlighted Landgestüt Redefin’s stallion, D’Olympic (Vice World Champion Young Warmblood Dressage Horse, 21-25 June 2000, Arnhem, The Netherlands), Red Hawk Ranch has bred this fantastic Donnerhall son twice to our Germany based mares — both resulting in SiegerStuteFohlen awards (champion fillies), while also importing two other incredible mares by this same sire.

As a breeding official of the Mecklenburg Verband, Dr. Makowei has indicated that the German FN 2003 Dressage Breed Index Ranking of 13 reflects the athletic talent, character, and beauty that D’Olympic stamps on his foals.

Next week, Dewey Beach and her two companions from Germany will be incorporated into Lyn Clarke’s “equine kindergarten” sessions held each Saturday at Red Hawk Ranch.

Leading Dewey Beach to her new pasture are:
