Knabstrupper-warmblood crosses: It's happenin' in Europe Posted: 07 Dec 2010 12:41 PM PST If you like color (even if you don't) it's a pretty cool breeding development. Breeder Karina Sartor Westergaard was gracious enough to provide information about her breeding program (see http://www.sartor.dk/ for more info), which I first read about on the COTH list.  She is breeding top quality Knabstrupper mares to stallions such as Sandro Hit and Sir Donnerhall. One of her prize horses is Sartor's Simply the Best, pictured right (both photos). Karina's breeding goals... Her main goal is to "produce top horses with special colour, great temperament and outstanding movements to the World's leading top riders." Her horses have been sold to upper level riders in Germany, Sweden and elsewhere -- she's sold one to an Olympic rider as well. Most of the offspring are quite young but we'll start seeing them in competition soon. A full brother to this horse, Sartor's Black and Magic, was sold to Germany and has named the top colt in classes and shows. I'll show some pix of him in a future blog post, but I just HAD to include the picture of STB in his cool show sheet. Look familiar????You can see Simply the Best's Facebook page for more info...
