May 1, '08 - Amidst Tornadic thunder storms, wailing sirens, high winds, thunder and lightning our second foal of the season was born. "Song Sung Blue" is a dark bay colt by Sinatra Song (Sandro Hit) out of our Elite Hanoverian Mare Dabadu Blue (Don Primero) What an introduction to this little guy's new world !

April 1, '08 An April Fool surprise !! (Ein Aprilscherz !) - Danke, Armin Gantzckow

This morning at around 9:00 our Dutch mare "Remolina" (Flemmingh x Zoogedacht) gave birth to a beautiful chestnut filly. We had been watching the mare on our wireless barn cam at about 90 minute intervals every night for the past 10 days but so far she had not done anything but cause us to lose sleep. Although the mare was at least a week overdue she showed none of the classic signs that she was about to give birth. She gave us a real surprise this morning when we went to check her at about 10:00 a.m. and found a foal on her feet, at her side, and already nursing! Our vet pronounced both mother and foal healthy and well.

Greenwood SportHorses is proud to announce that our imported Hanoverian mare "Dabadu Blue" (Don Primero x Argentan) has earned her Elite Mare status from the American Hanoverian Society. Dabadu was originally one of the foals we purchased at the Elite Foal Auction at Verden, Germany in 2000.

"SPS Daina" (DeNiro x Maurice) Hanoverian mare owned, trained and ridden by Melissa Hervert Allen. Daina was imported by Greenwood SportHorses to be shown in hand and trained for dressage. She was started under saddle by her breeder in northern Germany but all training after her arrival at our farm has been done by Melissa. Under her expert guidance, Melissa and Daina have achieved remarkable success at 4th level in 2007 and will be moving up in the next show season.
