Tudor x Sterling Venture xx
1987-2011 2005 Facet's Violet by Prince of Prussia (ATA) 2003 Phoebe by Grandios (Deceased before Inspection) 2001 Encore by State of the Art (PtHA) 1999 Zeus by Leonidas (Deceased before Inspection) 1997 Meeko by Art Deco; Premium 1995 Cealco by Art Deco; Premium Facet was problematic as a riding horse as a result of a back injury sustained at a very young age. She, however, found redemption in her career as a broodmare. Her second foal, Meeko, first won several High Point Championships with Irena Coz and then served as a spring board to launch Katie Johnson's journey into the international Grand Prix dressage arena. Facet's final progeny, Violet, has produced many competitive Hunter Jumpers and Dressage horses. Facet lives on through her daughter and her daughter's daughters!

GRAND BELLA NINA (NINA)

Grandios(Grand Canyon) x Hobby (Argus)
2003-2021 2016 Superman KC by Sternlicht (USEF# 5662729) 2015 Sternenklar KC by Sternlicht (deceased) Nina was born here at Kastel Coz, in pasture, mistaken for a flake of hay! She was sold as a yearling and went on to successfully train up through 3rd Level dressage with the same owner. Nina was then sold again and began a second life as a Three Day Eventer at which she excelled. She came full circle when her owner reached out to me and offered me right of first refusal, and so she came home! She was bred in 2014 to Sternlicht and had a stunning colt, Sternenklar aka Batman. We were so pleased with Batman that Nina was immediately bred back to Sternlicht. Tragically, Batman was found deceased with a broken neck as a yearling just prior to the birth of his virtual clone, Superman KC aka Ethan. Ethan has turned out to be SPECTACULAR and is living his best life under his Adult Amateur owner's tutelage. R.I.P. Grand Bella NIna, you are gone but most certainly NOT forgotten!

YOYO MAE (YOYO)
|
Bandit’s Lucky Doc x Hobby (Argus)
1998- 2022 2010 Zulu Masquerade by Wedderlie's Mardi Gras (Half Welsh) Yoyo Mae was an experiment, coupling my two Heart horses: Hobby and Bandit. For several years we had tried to get a Pinto warmblood from the Art Deco lines to no avail. This pair produced that elusive flashy coloring! Yoyo was no slouch as a mover and dressage competitor, never receiving a score less than 70%. She was sold to a friend and went on to be her daughter's Children's Hunter until circumstances arose and my friend sent Yoyo back to me for "indefinite storage". So, of course we bred her and she produced the most striking pony filly by Wedderlie's Mardi Gras, Zulu Masquerade aka Kelkel.
Kelkel went on to be sold to the amazing Zephyrus Welsh where she was successful on the 'Pony ' Show Circuit. Yoyo became a much beloved companion to the Ranch matriarch Gabrielle who is now 37 years old. Yoyo enjoys her retirement and companionship with Gabi! |

She came to KCSH and was bred to Qredit in 2012. Sadly, baby Qash died when he was only a couple months old, we were devastated. In 2014 Gucci was bred to Cunningham (Cassini I)
and in 2015 produced a stunning filly, Couture KC aka Robin. Robin sold as an unstarted three year old back into Cunningham's owner's barn. She is winning all over the place as a Hunter Jumper with Team Slouka. In 2016 we were ready to breed Gucci back to Qredit for another Qash-like foal. 2017 brought us Quixotic KC aka Ducky, a virtual clone of baby Qash . Ducky kicked things off by being High Point Champion colt at his Oldenburg NA Inspection and then continued to excel with his new A/A owner, Sadie G. |
He was 4th in the CDS 4year old Futurity Championship against a large field of stellar 4year olds ridden by professionals. Gucci is now enjoying retirement in Colorado.

2007- Present 2022 Colt by Balou du Rouet (Baloubet du Rouet) - deceased
2019 Abraxas KC c. by Ace ( Acobat II) Tori came to Kastel Coz fresh from the Thermal Desert Series Hunter Jumper Show. She was successfully campaigned at 1.40 meters by Tami Masters with at least one Grand Prix win in her USEF show record (Shown as NJK NoTorious; USEF#5283029). A pelvic injury impacted her right lead canter and was the ultimate cause of her semi-retirement. Tori was bred to Wild Turkey Farm's stallion ACE as soon as she arrived. She produced a dynamite colt that showed us his stuff by casually jumping out of his 1.50 meter enclosure as a yearling! Tori recently lost a foal by the illustrious stallion Balou du Rouet.
