Canterbury Court


Petruschka is the last foal from one of
our foundation mares, EM Babuschka
by Bolero. She was my personal favorite
and I am hoping to keep her blood going
through her daughter Petruschka. Pet
is a larger framed mare with powerful
movement. She reminds me of the great
German brood mares with her strong
maternal qualities. She comes from one
of the best damlines in the Hanoverian
region, the line of Schatznorne.
Petruschka has not been ridden as I
really do consider her my Pet. However,
her full brother Prescription has been a
very successful dressage stallion with
multiple dressage and breed show
Champioships. He was the Oldenburg
Horse of the Year at Second Level in
2005 and is continuing his career in
dressage. Petruschka's sire Presidio
has been a very successful sire and
described in our Stallions section.
Elite Mare Babuschka was my personal
riding horse. She had an elastic forward
reaching trot (I would see her forefeet
with every step) and a canter with so
much jump that you felt as though you
were about to go over a fence. She
caught on her foal heat every year and
produced six foals in six breeding
seasons. She was the full sister the
1984 Bundeschampion Borushkin who
was sold at the Verden Elite Auction for
the then record price of 110,000 DM.
Her father Bolero, a 3/4 throughbred,
produced numerous stallions, States
Premium mares, and dressage horses.
He founded the Hanoverian B line and
was the grandsire of three horses in the
Athens Olympics - Brentina and Barclay
(brentano II) and Bonaparte (Bon
Bonaparte) as well as being the sire of
Beauvallias.
This wonderful mare line progresses
back though two more generations of
States Premium mares ( SPS Anuscha
by Argus and SPS Duscha by Duellant)
to the half Shagya Arabian Fooundation
mare SPS Schatznorne. SPS
Schatznorne's damline has been written
up in Der Hannoveraner. She is the
mother of the stallion Derby and the
grandmother of the stallion Antritt.
Fleiner, Lawrence of Arabia, Reflex und
Wilano are other stallions who descend
from this line.This line progresses on
today with the sale of Sky Gate Hit at
the Verden foal auction for the record
price of 75,000 Euros. Watch for him in
the stallion licensing and riding horse
championships.
Petruschka combines two great
damlines - Fusion II and Schatznorne.
With a full uncle a Bundeschampion, a
full brother a national champion, and in
foal to another Bundeschampion we
expect great things from her.
