 IMAGO MAIL .........

  Comes home.

    The very beautiful dark bay Selle francais stallion IMAGO MAIL comes back home to the cradle to find once again the haras where he was born here at BRULLEMAIL.

Mrs Hartmann, the South-African born owner  of IMAGO MAIL (Narcos II et Reine du Valois par Laudanum ps), will be now living with her husband in Germany, so they decided to bring Imago back to France after an accident  which has temporally stopped his jumping career in Germany where he has been taking part in the Grand Prix class M & S (1m40-1m50).
The first foals of Imago are 5 years old this year and show some very lovely gaits and models with an excellent movement , strength and style when jumping, like their father.
His production can be mixed in all the events CSO, Hunter, CCE & Dressage.
IMAGO MAIL has been labelled with the award   "Labellisé + Dressage."
IMAGO come from an excellent linewhich has also given us the stallions ADAM IV (exported to Ireland) and the young star OTTO MAIL.
The dam of IMAGO comes form the breeding  of the two exceptionnel  stallions  LAUDANUM ps x    IBRAHIM x FURIOSO ps !
IMAGO is thus linebred lIBRAHIM & FURIOSO by his dam & his sire.

                          

IMAGO MAIL, will be based and you can come and see him at the stud  from the beginning of April and you can use him in both IAF & IAC.
The price of the breeding fee is very interesting.
IAF : 0 + 480€ ht (506,40 € ttc) to pay only I/10 if the mare is in foal with  our usual Garantie Poulain Vivant .
IAC : forfait technique 300€ ht (316,50€ ttc) + 480€ ht (506,40 € ttc)to pay only I/10 if the mare is in foal with  our usual Garantie Poulain Vivant .

       MY NEW DISCOVERY FOR 2007
HE is approved with the studbooks Z and S.F-A. QUALITY TOUCH was bought when foal for

100 000$ before being experted at the age of 4 to Chile after having been approved by Zangersheide for 300 000 $  as hisjumping talent was so evident at the time. Winning in CSO in Chile,he had a bad accident which stopped his show career.

The few European horses he bred before leaving have already been noticed at International shows.
QUARTZ ADEHLEID Z was the French 5 year Old Champion in 2003  going on to win inCSI.

ALLIGATOR FONTAINE (Noren x Nighty Fontaine x Dark Tiger ps) one of the best stallions of HARAS DE BRULLEMAIL (France) is the proud sire of the mare JALISCA SOLIER (dam: Dune Solier x Jalisco) born in Normandy.

Congratulations to the breeder of JALISCA SOLIER (Dune Solier x Jalisco), our long time friend Christophe Miller.
Thanks as well to the partners of ALLIGATOR, who have supported him since his syndication at 6 years old which allowed me to keep him.
Bravo to his new " Fans".We hope that these breeders who have little Alligators will try to fiollow in this amazing mares footsteps.

        JAGUAR AND HIS SON    

       VICTORY FOR JAGUAR MAIL IN THE

                   GRAND PRIX  AT AUVERS
GREAT weekend for our young 9 yr old stallion JAGUAR MAIL (Hand In Glove ps x Elvira Mail x Laudanum ps) & Patrice Delaveau at the Pro.1 in Auvers.
Saturday he jumped an event to get himself ready for sunday with a nice double clear round and taking the 5th place.
Sunday, JAGUAR won the Grand Prix with a superb double clear round.
The norman breeders present were very impressed by the ease in which he jumped.They were happy to see him in top form especially as most of his wins this year have been abroad.
1st Jaguar Mail (0+0).2nd Jumpy de Kresker (0+0)
3rd First de Launay (0+4)
The first foals of Jaguar are 3 yrs old and all of the professionals are unanamous when talking about their models , gaits and jumping skills.As he is breeding with mares of an even better quality every year, things can only improve!
,JAGUAR once again bred more than 100 mares in 2006 (with an excellent fertility with IAC : 75,8 %).

       THE NATIONAL STALLION SHOW FOR

             SELLE FRANCAIS 2006 IN ST.LÔ:
  A SON  OF JAGUAR MAIL FROM HIS FIRST       GENERATION OF FOALS IS AMAZING!
The Vice Champion at the National 3 year old Stallion Show 2006 is PLAY AGAIN D'ORCHIVAL ( Jaguar Mail x Gazelle du Perron x Tu Viens d'Orval) with points of  7,51/10 points.

He won the main section for stallions (1m68-1m70) where there are the most competitors, this beautiful burnt chestnut (like his fathers mother ELVIRA MAIL) became quite obviously the first of Jaguars sons to be approved as a Stallion for breeding.
PLAY AGAIN D'ORCHIVAL was also the brilliant winner of the 2 tests of free jumping (8,70/10 points) and 2nd in the gaits ( 7,80/10). He showed off his wonderful balance and suppleness when ridden.
For a long time we have not seen such a demonstration since the debut of the stallion DOLLAR DU MURIER back in June 1994 ... 12 years ago! It was validated by jumping points of (8,70) even if some of the judges  who gave him 9 later admitted that they were tempted to give him 10. It was at least nice to have thought about !
He showed balance, respect,techinique, strength, ease and all with a letting go of his back which was so spectacular.

A magical moment!

It was a great pleasure to be his spiritual grand father and what a shame that his breeder wasn't there to see such a performance. Sebastien Fonk de Macon (71) .
This fantastic horse was already sold at FENCES in September and on the first day at St. Lô was immediately snatched up by the stables of Jan Tops
If all goes well and he is bought by the right person we should be hearing more from him in the future.

OTTO MAIL ... BRED 146 MARES FOR HIS FIRST SEASON !

146 mares bred by our young 4 years old SF stallion OTTO MAIL  (Weltmeyer Hann x Hand In Glove ps).
That's a great success in France especially for a young Dressage stallion !
OTTO MAIL was the the first Dressage winner at the 3 year old stallion show last year.
His pedigree, his abilities for Dressage but also for Jumping or Eventing justify the interest of so many breeders.
OTTO bred very different type of mares from many different stud-books as SF, CS, Lusithanian, Lippizan, Kwpn, German, AA, TF, ponies and thoroughbred to produce Dressage horses, show Jumpers, Eventers and Hunters.
More than 100 mares came to the Brullemail stud-farm to be inseminated in fresh semen and another 46 in frozen semen.

    
OTTO MAIL had so many mares to breed, it was impossible for him to compete at the same time.
He competed only once in May in a 4 yr old Dressage class and with 2 first "premiums", he was immediately qualified for the final.
In September, the famous Olympic Champion Mrs Christine Stuckelberger saw OTTO MAIL at Saumur and she was extravagant with her comments :
"Magnificent young stallion with fantastic gaits, extraodinary canter, he will be a great stallion and a champion ..."

As OTTO MAIL is very fertile in fresh and frozen semen, he will have a lot of foals in 2007.
We hope to see many of them at the foals championship shows in Saumur, Le Pin and Saint-Lô.

VOYAGE TO THE OTHER SIDE                                    OF THE WORLD

 Alligator Fontaine & Hoggar Mail

         Breeding in Argentina.

I have been invited for over 5 years to regularly judge the young horse Championships in Argentina and have since then built up many links and friendships in this fabulous young country.

This is why I decided to send them for the winter season of 2006-2007 my two champion stallions in CSI, ALLIGATOR FONTAINE &  HOGGAR MAIL.

The breeding seasons are reversed so it is was at the beginning of their springtime in early September,that the two stallions arrived at Buenos Aires airport after 20 hours flying including 2 stopovers in Guyanne and Brasil accompanied by my Stud manager Marc Vanier

They will be the guests of the Maggia Stud Farm about 1H 30mins outside of the capital and where they will breed   in the heartland of the studfarms.

                .

                       The Maggia Stud Farm

They have already been met by the Argentinian breeders with a lot of interest and some foals out of these 2 stallions have already been born in Argentina with frozen semen. 2 of the best young horses 4-5 yr 2006 are Alligator offspring.

Some Argentine breeders were at the Normandy Horse Show in August to see HOGGAR win with his rider Peneloppe Leprevost.

 This is a first, concerning sport horses, where some SF Stallions leave during the off season here to breed in South America, as is already the case for their Thoroughbred brothers.

 Other horses have been exported of  course but stay for several years.

 In the case of ALLIGATOR & HOGGAR their return is planned for the end of January 2007 to take up again their work with a little deserved rest before.

IKAT MAIL. ITALIAN CHAMPION 2006

GREAT NEWS FOR THE BRULLEMAIL STUD:

A NEW CHAMPION!

IKAT MAIL was born at haras de Brullemail in 1996.
Once again a new champion out of the magnifique thoroughbred stallion HAND IN GLOVE,already the father of many winners in CSI-CSIO (Hoggar Mail, Jaguar Mail, Jeans Glove Varnel, ...).
The mother of this new champion is JOLIE MOME D ( Almé x Cirka aa x Pancho II aa) a great winner in CSO (ISO 147).
JOLIE MOME is a direct sister to HISTORIETTE (Barigoule aa) who is already the dam to some top females at Brullemail such as Violetta Mail (Almé), Divina Mail (Galoubet) or IROISE MAIL (CSI in 2006) & ORNELLA MAIL.

IKAT MAIL was sold to Mme Hartmann (haras du Bisson)at 3 yrs at the same time as their futur stallion IMAGO MAIL.
He was already superb and full of promise but looked like a la late developer at  4 & 6 yrs.
His south African owners living in Normandy gelded him and then exported him to Italy at 6.
Already in 2005 IKAT MAIL was spotted by Eugénie Angot in the Grand Prix CSIW at Verona where he impressed her by his style and quality of jumping and she tried to buy him.

Beating all of the top Italian riding team IKAT MAIL has just won the Italian Championships 2006 for 1st category riders.with his remarkable style ridden by his owner Mirco Casadei.
Several weeks later IKAT was classed 3rd in a Grand Prix CSI *** in Italy.

        OTTO MAIL

  3 year old Dressage Champion

Will be breeding free of charge         for the 2006 season at the           Haras de Brullemail .

Otto Mail (Weltmeyer x Hand in Glove) the fabulous winner at the stallion show last year with the highest scores all round, including jumping stallions, with an average score of 8,46 with 2x8, 2 x9 and 2x 10 will be breeding this year finally at the haras in IAF & IAC.

      After some very complicated transactions demanded by France Dressage , ANSF, ENE & the National Stud the stallion was sent to the Haras of St Lo for sperm testing before finally coming to a decision as is the usual practice of the NatioanlStud. He had already passed xrays and visits with Dr Batail and certified by CIRE. But the Haras do there own testing. After six weeks and no news, Otto was sent to Saumur for the ENE where he was destined to have a career as a Dressage stallion.

They did more tests and xrays ,completely ridiculous when you consider that the horse had just been jumping onto a phantom for sperm testing and was quite tired as most young stallions are after these first sperm collects.

Of course they found a problem on his shoulder , due to mounting the phantom at St Lo and so refused the visit

So nearly after 2 months . The breeding season already started the National Stud sent us back our injured Stallion. DISTGUSTING attitude showing no respect for breeders by the French National Stud who only keep on getting worse!

After check ups with our own vets and a few weeks convalesence Otto is now fine and will start to breed next month FREE  for the 2006 season ,( except for charges.) We are happy to have him back at home where he will be treated correctly and with the respect and care he deserves.

  Experts from France Dressage saw him in movement and said that the slight injury has not damaged his excellent movement..

  We decided to offer Otto free to breeders so as to use him as much as possible in his first year which is not often the case for Dressage stallions in France. He is also very interesting for breeders who wish to produce foals for all 4sports. Hunter, eventing dressage and jumping. This way we can test him quickly.The stock will be limited as we hope to compete OTTO in dressage , hunter and jumping this season to try and qualify him for all 3 finals at 4 year old and then only in dressage next year.

   THE STALLION CATALOGUE & DVD 2006

AS usual our stallion catalogue is ready with this year a special retrospective on the last 20 years at Brullemail.

For the first time the Haras de Brullemail has made a DVD with film of our stallions jumping , some of the offspring and with footage of their mothers and grand dams.There is also the "bonus" of the Hand In Glove story, plus the final of the six year old Champion Katchina Mail, along with some beautiful pictures taken around the stud.

So at last , especially for our overseas friends you can see the stallions in action:Alligator Fontaine, Jaguar Mail, Iowa , Quite Easy & Hoggar Mail. And Frascator Mail, Imago ,AdamIV and our new stallion Otto Mail.

You can watch the DVD on your TV or on PC/Mac.

For the price of 15€, including postage(refundable if you buy a breeding fee).

Our catalogue of course is sent free of charge.

    HARAS DE BRULLEMAIL AUCTION

      AT  MARCHE FENCES. A SUCCESS
With nearly 240,000€ made , selling 24 horses we can proudly say that the reduction sale of the Brulleamil Stud was a success for all concerned.

Out of the 32 horses presented only 8 were bought back . The average price was around 9500€ with of course some foals and broodmares going for well under their estimated price(between 3000-8000€) but nevertheless making happy new owners of these bargain horses.

   Those horses that did make some good prices were the record sales for this November Sale of the Fences Auction called the "Market Fences".

The top price went to a broodmare , LIBERTY MAIL out of our famous dam Adoret x Almé,in foal by Calvaro and sold fro 42000€. She is the direct sister to Chergar Mail, Fergar Mail, Hoggar Mail and Elvira Mail(dam of Jaguar & Katchina Mail).

   A sister of Alligator & Frascator , the black Midnight Mail(Fergar Mailx Digne Espoir) in foal by Quite Easy went to Italy for 21500€.And a beautiful filly foal , Quelinda Mail by Dollar du Murier & Galoubet A, went to Saudi Arabia for 30000€.

  All the team back home at Brullemail can be proud of the hard work getting all of our horses into beautiful condition showing of the fine specimens that BLC has bred . A lot of dark bays , all with a good size , expressive heads and good movement.A lot of people remarked upon this during the sale and congratulated the owner/breeder on the quality and turn out of his horses.

  We were quite happy to buy back the horse we did , including Brullemail and fine champion broodmare and Republica Mail a gorgeous filly foal by Papillon Rouge & Liberty Mail , who went up to 18000€, but not enough for her owner, who felt comfortable at these sales having the satisfaction , due to a good breeding season ,to not have the pressure of selling some of his best products.

   The last reduction sale at Brullemail was 10 years ago when we sold 10 mares to Zangersheide. Maybe the next one will be in another 10 years ? The retirement sale!

After 10 months of "farniente" at our Brullemail stud-farm, our Champion de France 1999, ALLIGATOR FONTAINE (ISO 190) came back to the competition in August.
His first show jumping 2005 was Auvers CSI** (Normandy) from 23th to 25th of August.
The first day ALLIGATOR was 4th, the second day he was 3rd to 1/100e from FLIPPER D'ELLE. The third day, ALLIGATOR won the intermediate class (1m40).
ALLIGATOR carries on his famous reputation when Eric Navet rode him, winning at least one course at each CSI or CSIO !
Congratulation to our veteran (17 year old), in great form and still very competitive.
Bravo to Pénélope who found immediately the complicity with ALLIGATOR.
