"ANGUS" at 4 and 1/2 months of age.
Bred by Jessica Bertram and Lynda Smith
Angus is one of Di Maggio's early foals born last season. Jess and Lynda are absolutely thrilled with him, and hope to have him out and about in the near future.
NEW ARRIVAL AT DEVERON
We are pleased to announce the arrival of our long awaited colt after an exhaustive search of some 8 years. French Fry, as he is affectionately called, is by the frozen semen stallion, French Kiss, out of a Salute/TB mare. He has settled in well and is a real pleasure to have around.
Our search to find a colt to put over our mares, who were all related to our stallions, took us many miles, with endless enquiries and lots of disappointments, and many times just about gave up.
French Folly was bred by Sheridan Hicks of Hillbreeze Stud, Benalla, so basically we found him very close to home, which was great, as we were able to make many visits. Sheridan and Dugald have done a wonderful job in handling and preparation of him for his new life, and we feel very fortunate to have him in our stud.
French Kiss is by one of Germany's top sires, Florestan, whose progeny are renowned for their high rideability. In 2000 Florestan was ranked no 1 on the FN breeding values list. French Kiss is out of a Donnerhall mare, who needs no introduction as a sire of top dressage horses and is also himself a Grand Prix competitor at international level.
French Kiss was in 2002 Bundeschampion winner as a 4yo
2003 Vice World Young Dressage Horse Champion 5yo
2004 World Young Dressage Horse Champion 6yo

Congratulations to Jess and Lynda on an exellent result in the APSB Online Foal Photo Competition. Da Vinci won the Warmblood section and placed 2nd to the Ultimate Foal in the Arabian Section.
With over 200 entries in the competition, they could certainly be proud of their little star.

DEVERON DUVALL X DEVERON LATOYA
Congratulations to owner Kelly Mason of Kelaray Stud, NZ, with the continuing success of her Anglo Arabian mare, Deveron Airs N Graces.
Grace had had 2 foals prior to Kelly obtaining her, and is back in foal again to the Warmblood stallion, Gymnastik Star.
With her usual aplomb, Grace returned to the showring in great style, taking out Champion Mare and Supreme Led Derivative at the A class Northland All Arabian Show in Jan 08
In Feb 08, Grace headed for the NZ National Titles for the following results:
Top 5 Led Derivative Mare (3rd)
1st Novice Derivative Ridden
Top 5 Der Open Mare under Saddle
Top 5 Der Paced & Mannered
A wonderful effort, as this was Graces' second show under saddle, and she was also 5 months in foal at the time. An amazing lady, with an amazing nature.
Impeccably presented by Kelly and her team, a great result all round, well done Kelly!
