Welcome to MarKim Farms

The Horse Fair, 1853-1855 Rosa Bonheur

Welcome to MarKim Farms, a breeder of modern World Class Champion Oldenburg Sport Horses. We are very selective in our breeding program. Our commitment is to improve the breed both in temperament and athletic ability . . . and we do it selectively . . . one at a time.

We base our breeding program on the most elite European bloodlines . . . The "Magic Trio" of modern dressage breeding:

Weltmeyer

Rubinstein I

Donnerhall

Because we believe bloodlines are one of the most important breeding considerations, we have focused our efforts on these three foundation sires. Our current broodmares are direct daughters of Weltmeyer and Rubinstein I. We breed them to the best modern sires in the world today, incorporating Sandro Hit and other current successful stallions that are highly compatible with these worldclass foundation bloodlines.

MarKim Farms' breeding program has produced Champions who have captured several USDF National Awards, including Champion All Breeds Oldenburg Colt in the Nation & Reserve Champion Horse of the Year, Sport Horse Colt.

We are proud of our successes:

For 2010, we introduced Flower Power, our Premium and Site Champion Oldenburg NA filly out of our Premium Star Oldenburg mare, When Worlds Unite */-/- (Weltmeyer) and sired by the magnificent stallion, Freestyle** (Florestan).

For 2007, we introduced San Bella, our Premium and Site Champion Oldenburg Filly out of our imported mare Graziella (Rubinstein I/Furioso II) and sired by the outstanding stallion Sagnol (Sandro Hit/Landadel).

For 2005, we introduced Reagan, our Premium and Site Champion Oldenburg NA colt out of our wonderful Star Mare Liaisonne -/*/- and sired by the champion Riverman****.

For 2003, we introduced Impromptu, our Premium Champion Oldenburg NA colt out of our wonderful Star Mare Liaisonne -/*/- and sired by the champion Ideal*****. Impromptu won the following USDF 2003 National Awards:

No. 1 All Breeds Oldenburg N.A. Colt in Nation

A number of musical excerpts are played on the zither, a fascinating instrument made famous by the Third Man movie.

The zither is popular in Bavaria and Austria. I hope you enjoy it.
