Heyy people here we are in the middle of lovely summer, I'm back from a holiday in London, first real one in how many years?,. Lost count! Both my mares are now confirmed in foal, Novedosa with Artico and Picara with Donoso. Artico's mare in France was also confirmed on first try! 'Tico' is still working at breedingstation where they are freezing storage for all of Europe, USA and Australia and will soon be available for worldwide breeding!  

And today another mare in Sweden is also confirmed with Donoso, good job dear breeding colleagues!
   
 

Babies Hidalgo and Indigo are probably the most handsome colts ever, love-bugs! And for sale!

And finally Villy has found his new person and will be living his life in Sweden, congratulations to everyone!!!

Here's the last video of me and Villy and me working out.

Took Artico to bredding station and he was such a good boy doing his first trailer-trip, loeading and standig still. He is very sensitive but stay cool in all new situations. He is now working out everyday and getting his semen tested in all kind of ways. As it turns out he has excellent quality swimmers, great motility and an incredible amount calculated to 18thousand million in one collection!! That should be plenty for anyone right!? Here's the semen refrigrerated 24 hours, party swimmers!

Artico is tested negative of Arteritis which is a common disease in Spain which can be transmitted also through breeding. 

On friday most handsome Villy will get a visit and be testridden by Sweden! 

Donoso got his medical shoeing and is now free from lameness! The fracture will still take time to heal so I am still handwalking him. He is full of energy and wants to move but is so well behaved and controls himself even with the mares. So civilized, simply the best. 

And here the mares and babies this morning, Indi and Hidalgo are now 1 respectively 2 months old. Absoutely adorable both of them, Hidalgo is gorgeous, very social and so tall. Indi has this super special personality, sensitive and curious with an expression to die for, he melts my heart completely, phew!

Yes Donoso is lame on left hind and as it turns out he has a fractured hoof.   He probably injured himself whilst covering and will now be in rehabilitation/recovery for 2-3 months. Yes it sucks but I will make sure he will be good,..    

Meanwhile Villy has started on his flying changes and is being seriously into his work. Start is doing build-up workouts, he is looking tip-top again with shiny coat and roams around free on the farm grazing and chilling out under the fresno trees. We have warm temps now and babies slept outside for the first time yesterday. 

Brillantino is now broken in and Artico has did his debute as a breedingstallion!! Tino is being a exceptionally well behaved student I have been told. Good boy, will probably go and visit him next week!

Artico turns out to be born to breed! He has now covered Novedosa in a perfect manner, we have also collected him and checked status of semen and he has super quality swimmers, these ones!!   

Here's one of Artico's PRE mares in France!

Raining raining!! My wells are full and beyond and you can almost hear the grass is growing! 
Tino baby has left for his school, good boy went straight into the lorry and he arrived well. Did a photosession and alittle lounging before he left so you can see his development, Video on his sales page here; http://www.horsespreviktoria.com/1/palomino_stallion_born_2013_1046401.html 
Tino is a player, always jumping swiftly and making high school movements over ground which is very easy for him as he is super athletic and elastic. He's not a docile horse, he's intense and loves to express himself as a stallion beautifully.

I'm not a good seller when it comes to my horses! I just hate to write FOR SALE beacuse they are all keepers and it's so hard to choose which one/s are going. So I have decided to offer Brillantino, Chula and Fiero for sale and see what happens. If one of them sells I will re-asess and might decide to keep the other two and take them off the sale. This my strategy to leave it up to the horse to attract their new owner and avoiding how to choose which one is going,.. Like this I leave it up to the universe to decide their future and not me!

So here's Chula she's the coolest lady with the biggest personality, makes me laugh because she thinks alot and quickly and figures out fast how to get what she wants. With all that selfconfidence, elegance and eagerness to learn she is just made for activity - dressage or working equitation or both.

So finally he came Indigo, a size XL dark buckskin Donoso-Picara colt!!! He stood up after 30 mins of life and had his first meal only 50 minutes old, such a blessing to see him so strong and full of vitality!!! Love him, look at that long pretty noseyy   Thank you thank you thank you,. 
So now we are 12!!,... 

And another mare is confirmed in foal with Donoso VII on first insemination in USA, love it!

Here's Cacereño that is about to depart for his new life in Sweden! 

I am now relaxing with Start and we are both enjoying our light workouts. I had to take a step back from all regards horses after this experience and look at life in general. I love my work and horses but but there is a life to be lived outside of them aswell, so I have been living it and taking a natural break or at least working less intensely with my business. It has been very good with this breathing space, it's all about balance, listen and be true to yourself. I have also done 2 months of a special diet without any sugar whatsoever, TBM and chiropractic treatments, which has pretty much reconstructed my physiology. With this process my body went into a healing mode which also made me relax so working less felt natural. Lucky I was able to do so. Good changes. Greatful!

Here's a horse I sold to Sweden which again has been yet another inspring experience. Thank you Cecilia, Hans and Pablo for being such lovely and professional people. I have also been testriding and selecting and I have new exciting PREs lined up. Here we are doing a hike to arena during the prepurchase exam. Lovely chilled out horse! 

   
Sold to Sweden
  

Villy story became longer than expected. The client that had him reserved had an unfortunate accident so Villy is no longer reserved and available for sale again. I hope to find him his home asap, he is in great shape and in harmony so ready to start a life with his new person! 

Here he is being testridden. 

  
Still waiting for Picara's baby! All boys are working out normal and we are all good yet crowded so next week I send Tino off to school. He will be broken in and I have decided to offer him for sale together with Fiero and Chula. One young stallion will be enough to keep my love of labour going and Tino is a very pretty stallion with excellent quality for both for both breeding and dressage!

  Hellloouuu in the middle of april already!! We have spring rains here now yesterday we had a lovely sunny day at the farm riding and socializing but today raining nonstop but good as the earth needs it. We have welcomed Hidalgo that is now 2 weeks old and of course adorable!!!  He's a sweet brave and just beautiful with extremely long legs. Now we are waiting for Picara to deliver hers, we have done the ring-test and it turned out stallion so hoping for this as it is very comfy to have two of the same sex growing up together,..

Hidalgo VIK by Novedosa PM - Donoso VII

I have just realized I have 7 stallions at the farm and we are getting alittle crowded!!! As I just got another colt with the same genetic combination in Hidalgo (Novedosa PM - Donoso VII) and I do not have a companion for Fiero, he will now be offered for sale. He will be tall 165 - 170 cm, he has extravagant movements and a adorable personality. He is not cheap but anyone who would be interested in a golden Donoso is very welcome to contact me!!

He has been through some more episodes of being totally lame and with swollen extremities, rare stuff, we have continued doing his treatments and he has been stable so yesterday we testrode him for first time and he was perfect! His healer got first go as he and Start has a strong connection, Starti took off like a ferrari but they worked it out fine with the mexican-whooooo-style!   And we did our tempis just to celebrate and what a feeling to have my horse back!!! Thank you thank you thank you  He is perfect in mouth and strong in body but I will take it easy and go slow he has been through alot,.

Helllooouu, time is flying have been super busy, we are having a beautiful spring here with comfy temps love it! Have been touring with clients since last blog so much fun to get to know new lovely people from all over the world and matching them with the best of the best in spanish horses.

I am happy with the recovery of Start, his physique is stronger and he is filling out nicely. But a few days ago he was on three legs, swollen in right hind fetlock and he moved very slowly and did not look very well. So we gave him TBM. He had a fever and was very swollen in both hindlegs and up over the hocks. The following day I left him grazing him outside stable for a while and when I came out he was lying totally still on his side. I thought he had died so I shouted his name and then he turned his head. Phew, had to sit down on the floor to recover from that one,. Start struggled to get up and we wobbled inside. We have now been giving him low frequency electric treatment and TBM and he responds well. He is still swollen but has no fever and is eating like normal.

Donoso has two new mare bookings, there is limited amount of storage for Europe so please make sure you reserve if you plan to breed with him! Right now we are waiting for the Nova/ Donoso baby to come in the world,.

Happy easter to everyone!!!
