Revlon is Under Contract for a
2013 Foal by the KWPN Stallion Kaareltje
 |
December, 2011 We are happy to announce that
our wonderful Oldenburg mare, Revlon (Routinier), is currently
under contract for a custom foal in 2013!! She will be
bred this Spring to the imported KWPN Registered Dutch Warmblood
Stallion, Kaareltje. He is owned and loved by Firemist
Farm. We look forward to breeding this wonderful cross and
sharing in the excitement with Shell! |
Our Mare Dubonnet’s In Utero Foal has
a 3-Way Bloodline match to the $1 Million Premium Champion Licensed
Stallion Sold at the Oldenburg Licensing/Auction in Vechta, Germany
 |
November, 2011 We are
excited to say that Dubonnet’s upcoming 2012 foal is very
closely related to the Premium and Champion Licensed Stallion
(#59), For Romance, who recently sold at the 2011 Oldenburg Stallion Days
Licensing/Auction in Vechta, Germany on November 19. He sold
for an amazing $750,000 EURO (over $1 Million U.S. Dollars)!!
This Stallion has a close 3-way bloodline match with our
Dubonnet’s upcoming foal, both on the top and bottom of the
pedigree: through the F line (Florestan I), the D line (Don
Shufro) and also through a very prominent mare line proven for
producing stallions, Loretta. She is an Elite mare held in the
highest regard who has sired the well known “Hit” line of
successful stallions such as Sandro Hit, Diamond Hit and Royal
Hit. See our Sales page for
more info. |
Our Mare Dubonnet's Grandsire, Don Schufro, Proves Once Again to
be an Extraordinary Sire!!
 |
October, 2011
MarKim Farms congratulates Heather Blitz and
her 8-year-old Don Schufro son, Paragon, for their outstanding
achievement of Team Gold and Individual Silver at the 2011 Pan
American Games in Mexico!! We are especially excited as our
mare, Dubonnet, is by the Don Schufro son, Diamond Hit,
half-brother to the great Paragon. Please visit our Sales
page for information about Dubonnet, her exciting upcoming
2012 foal, and recently updated pictures of Quater Hit, her
fantastic 2011 colt by Quaterback. Quater Hit's new
owner states, "It was specifically because of Paragon that I
went looking for something from Don Schufro. And I found
exactly what I wanted at MarKim Farms five days after he was
born: my Don Schufro great grandson Quater Hit, by
Quaterback. 'Q-Tip' has been a complete delight, with his
calm, laid-back, relaxed and friendly personality. He has
been exposed to goats, a pig named Petunia, and lots of people
and big barn parties and absolutely nothing fazes him!
He also looks to be carrying on the Don Schufro height gene
and appears likely to mature at over 17 hands. I could not be
happier!"
|
Quater Hit rated Premium at his
Oldenburg Inspection!!
 |
September, 2011 Quater Hit successfully
achieved Premium status at his ISR/Oldenburg NA inspection on
September 1, 2011. The judges expressed an interest in
monitoring his development and would like to see him again at
age two as a possible stallion prospect.
Quater Hit will be departing to his new home in Holly,
MI this month. His owners, Dan and Kerrie Gellings, are
thrilled with him and they look forward to taking him home and
managing his future growth and development. We look
forward to updates as he matures! |
Quater Hit - Sold to his new home
in MI!!!
 |
May, 2011 We would like to congratulate Kerrie
and Dan Gellings of MI on their purchase of our fantastic 2011
colt, Quater Hit (Quaterback/Diamond Hit/Roemer)!! We celebrated
in style with champagne and chocolate cigars :)
Kerrie has big plans for Quater Hit as her next Grand Prix
dressage prospect. We think he is also a potential stallion
prospect and
will wait to see how he does at his foal inspection. If he
is a stallion candidate, we have high hopes that he will be
successfully raised as a stallion prospect and pursue licensing
as a 3 or 4 year old.
Watch for them in the show ring and breeding shed! They
will be making headlines! |

Revlon will be put into training and will become my
personal dressage horse. Not sure how long we can wait,

he is getting confident, so he is starting to test me, but I
just can't help but laugh at him. I took him to a show back in
February and he thought the show was put on for him! He's so
funny!!! I love him to death! If I have him forever, I'll be
happy:)" |

and
athletic. He is quite the gentleman. He is starting dressage and
is my
husbands horse now. He is still dark grey but his tail is white
so he
looks very elegant. He will start getting big dapples in a
couple of
years. He is very eye catching and we get a lot of compliments
about
him, specially his walk. He rarely spooks and has really good
work
ethics. We are very happy with him."
