Belerina had a fantastic colt by Florestan named Finesse.  Finesse is a lovely modern type Oldenburg has been sold to Tiffany Clark.  Congratulation on your purchase of this special foal. 

Belerina is now a lovely 5 year old mare. She has matured into an exceptional young dressage horse. Bella is an elegant modern compact type dressage horse. As a foal she was awarded the premium status at her German Oldenburg Verband inspection. She has a wonderful temperment, loves people and is really enjoying her training. Bella has 3 lovely expressive gaits. She has natural rhythm, and is a nice forward moving mare. Bella is going quietly walk, trot, canter and and is now learning the training and first level work.   We have also started Bella doing some jump training. She is currently the perfect size at 16 hands and still growing. She has wonderful manners and is excellent for the farrier and veternarian. She trailers well and is a joy to handle.

Belerina is now approved with the German Oldenburg Verband and has been entered into the main mare breeding book. Belerina did very well at her Mare Performance Test and was awarded Premium mare status. We are very pleased and proud of this lovely young mare.

Belerina has it all, beauty, correct conformation, and an outstanding pedigree. Bella’s dam is Belrose. Belrose is a branded imported German Oldenburg mare. Belrose is by the famous sire Rubinstein I. Belrose’s dam sire is Inschallah. This combination of bloodlines is found in numerous stallions in Germany such as, Rubin Royal, Royal Diamond, and the well known stallion Rohdiamant. This dam line makes Belerina a fine broodmare prospect.

Belerina’s sire is one of today’s top modern dressage sires Quaterback. Bella has her sire’s markings, colouring, type and movement. He has stamped this filly with his charming good looks and expressive gaits. Quaterback is a sire who is a modern stallion with charm and grace. He has very correct conformation and lovely disposition. Quaterback started his stallion career by being named Champion of his licensing in Neustadt/Dosse in 2005.

Quaterback continued his success the following year and was the outstanding Champion of 3-year-old riding horses in 2006 with the highest scores for trot and canter. The test riders in Warendorf gave him the fantastic score of 10.0. Prior to this test he had won several tests for young riding horses. He was also winner of his 30-days-test with a final score of 9.14 in dressage, 8.43 points for jumping and an overall score of 8.89. Quaterback is the sire of 56 stallion sons, licensed all over the world. The quality from him is very good – in trot and very good in canter. When he won at the Bundeschampionate in 2006, the judges said we should have given him 12 for the canter, we are sorry that it is only possible to give 10. He has very good foals. Quaterback continues to produce numberous champions all over the world.

Belerina is SOLD: Congratulations to Jenny Kemp of Tenn.
