International success of Dageraad Stud

DAGERAAD'S TODD ( Dageraad x Burggraaf x Amor; out of Germana), ridden by Jenny van Staveren, has become 3th at the Dutch National Championship Hunting held on the 26th of April in the palace garden of Soestdijk (the former royal palace of the Dutch queen).

DAGERAAD'S RICARDO (Haarlem x Landwind IIB x Marinier; out of Linda) is in the Netherlands in training by Jenny van Staveren/Albert le Bon, supervised by Albert Voorn, Reserve Champion Show Jumping Olympic Games 2006.

DAGERAAD'S VIWALDI (Gribaldi x Rossini x Le Val Blanc XX; out of Heraldie) is in the Netherlands in training by John Swaab, member of the Dutch Olympic Team Dressage 1972.

DAGERAAD'S ADAM (Dageraad x Metall x Wolfgang; out of Unato) and DAGERAAD'S CAROLUS (Sandreo x Osmium x Falco ; out of Victoria) are sold to Mrs. Sonja Kipping to be exported to Namibia.

Mr. JAAP WERNERS, former chairman of the KWPN Stallion Selection Committee, has inspected all the foals, yearlings, 2 year olds and mares on 30th of April and 1st of May at Dageraad Stud. The results of his inspection is more then encouraging for the future of warm blood breeding by Dageraad Stud.

Export by Dageraad Stud

In 2007 Dageraad Stud sold ADAM (by Dageraad; out of Unato) to Namibia.
It was Dageraad Stud's second horse overseas.
TODD (also by Dageraad; out of Germana) was the first young stallion sold, that time to the Netherlands.

The export of Dageraad's in 2008 develops:
- RICARDO (Haarlem x Landwind II B x Marinier) and
- VIWALDI (Gribaldi x Rossini x Le Val Blanc XX),
are in quarantine for export to the Netherlands,
while
- CAROLUS (by Sandreo; out of Victoria) is sold to Mrs. Sonja Kipping, to be exported to Namibia.

It is very promissing for South African Warm Blood breeding, especially Dutch Warm Blood breeding, that people overseas do recognise the quality of our breeding of riding/sport horses

New Year's Eve Surprises

After Mr. John Swaab, former member of the Dutch Olympic Dressage Team, and his wife Mrs. Pieteke de Reus had visited Dageraad International Equestrian Centre to give a clinic re the training of young riding horses, Dageraad Stud is surprised  on New Year's Eve by a new foal and the sale of CAROLUS.

LINDA(Landwind II B X Marinier X Heidelberg) gave birth to COEN by SOLITAIR ( Voltaire X Libero H X Ulster).
Looking at his blood lines and his conformation we expect that COEN will be a Show Jumper with excellent movement.

CAROLUS (Sandreo X Osmium X Falco) out of VICTORIA, is bought by Mrs. Sonja Kipping, who, no doubt, immediately recognised the quality of this dressage bred colt, born on the 23th of December 2007!

X-Mas foals of Dageraad Stud

The days before Christmas Dageraad Stud was made happy by both KAROGINA Ster (Purioso X Zuidhorn) and VICTORA (Osmium X Falco).
Karogina gave us the 21th of December COBUS by GOOD TIMES (Nimmerdor X Caletto) while Victoria gave birth the 23th of December to CAROLUS (on the photo) by SANDREO (Sandro Hit X Flemmingh)

CASIMIR IS BORN

CASIMIR, a colt by Ustinov (Libero H x Nimmerdor x Marco Polo); out of Suus (Burggraaf x Horatio x Triton), is born  on October 8th, 2007, at Dageraad Stud, Robertson, Western Cape.
Casimir is the first Ustinov born in South Africa.
Looking at his blood lines Casimir promises well for the future in Show Jumping.

STARTS LEASING DAGERAADS

DAGERAADSTUD offers both full financial as operational leasing of Dageraads.

The montly lease payments are during the lease period fixed and depend on:

- the value of the Dageraad at the beginning of the lease period;
- the interest rate at that moment;
- the age of the horse;
- the lease period;
- in case of operational lease the estimated value of the horse at the end of the lease period;
- the option exercise price in case of operational lease.
- the insurance premium for illness costs or death of the Dageraad.

Both leasing constructions do not require any payment upfront other then the first (montly) lease payment by the lessee.

The operational lease agreement limits the risks of the lessee. Nevertheless he is still entitled to enjoy the increase of value of the Dageraad by exercising his purchase option.

The lessee becomes owner of the Dageraad by paying the final lease payment (financial lease) or by paying the option exersise price (operational lease)

Unless agreed otherwise the Dageraad is stabled and trained at Dageraad International Equestrian Centre, Rondeberg

Please do not hesitate to ask for more information.
