At Stud Ukeuro we took the decision to start breeding 4 years ago. We were able to source a two year old colt from the Sire Parco son of the famous Belgian stallion Darco his mother line included Le Mexico and his name is Branco Van Overis. The colt was grey and spent the next year in a field. In his third year he covered a jumping mare we had retired called Adams Canasta she is Selle Francaise breeding . The result was that she gave birth to a grey colt the next year, we named him Maximus Uk. His breeding credentials are extremely good with bloodlines from Darco, Le Mexico, Galoubet & Ibrahim, his movement is excellent and thus far he has proved that our Stallions Branco Van Overis has it in him to sire top level showjumpers.


Since then we have bred two further foals and this year Branco Sired four mares. In 2004 with the help of a local investor we have bought a further 4 broodmares. In 2005 we produced a Grey Parco colt with a mother line which includes Concorde, Alme and Lugano Van le Roche he is now a yearling. We have a further two fillies one from the sire Unbelievable Darco standing at the Brendan Stud, the mare is Selle Francaise and the other filly is from a Zangersheide mare by the Sire Robin de Bruyere . 2006 has seen a further filly from Adams Canasta by Branco our stallion , we named her Opium Uk and once again this mare and sire have combined to produce a very balanced foal who looks to have incredible potential. We have also bred two Darco colts one of which is a coloured and is exceptional quality.
Our broodmare Petri foaled in July 2006, she is a grey Holsteiner and carries the blood of Marco Polo, Lady Killer and Capitol, covered by Branco you can see their stunning Colt Barracuda UK, he will be a steel grey.

2007 I hope will see 7 mares foaling at Stud Ukeuro, we have as I already mentioned used Branco Van Overis to sire a number. Other sires include Darco, Air Jordan Z, Cinquecento Z and Unbelievable Darco. We believe in using top breeding stock . This is tempered by the economics involved and for that reason we speculate using our own stallion. Next year we are adding a Stallion with Le Mexico breeding by the Sire Nonstop he is already listed as a 2yr old Ennio Van Overis, these prospects are very exciting.
