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. Please click the link to see all our foals for
2006 and yearlings link
for last years offspring.
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.
