Blessed are the Broodmares!

Quater Twist WSH is an exceptional mare, who was Champion mare at her Hanoverian Veband performance test , and received her Premium Status with the Hanoverian Verband. 

Quater Twist WSH or "Q" as she's known around the farm, is a beautiful 2015 mare by Quaterhall (Quaterback/Donnerhall) out of Gold Digger (Glorioso Noir).  This mare was bred by Williams Sport Horses, and was retained for both breeding and competition purposes. We knew that Q was special as soon as she was born, and she has lived up to all our hopes.  She is a gorgeous tall and leggy 17h liver chestnut, with exceptional movement, an easy temperament, and incredible rideabillity.  To top it off she has some very unique markings, including an interesting marking on her neck and 2 small belly spots, 4 tall socks and a twisted blaze.  As a 3 year old Q was started lightly and qualified and successfully competed and placed at the prestigious Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.  She was then given a well deserved rest and given the winter off to continue growing and maturing.  As a 4 year old Q was presented to the Hanoverian Verband for inspection, and won the mare show and dressage phase of the performance test, earning top marks and her Premium mare candidate.  She was then bred to the impressive stallion Secret and as a 5 year old delivered her first foal, and fulfilled her Premium Mare status.  Q was then bred back to Secret and an embryo transfer was performed so that she could start her career as a show horse.  As a 6 year Q was started in professional training and at her first dressage show with only a few months of training she scored a 76.3% and 73.4%, with 9s for her collective gaits and walk, and even a perfect 10 for some of her trot work. She finished Reserve Champion in the open national level series, with all her scores counting towards the championship, as she only competed in the minimum number of classes. A recipient mare delivered an incredible foal by Secret who was awarded the prestigious Gold Medal Foal through the Hanoverian Verband. 

Q will continue in her training and to produce foals by embryo transfer.  In 2022 Q had a foal coming by Benicio, with the recipient mare due May 2022.  The resulting foal was also awarded Gold Medal Foal through the Hanoverian Verband and also won one of the top 10 Hanoverian foals in Canada, the prestigious Albert Kley Award!  Q has an excellent track record of producing incredible foals!   

In 2022 Q was shown by amateur owner and rider Naomi Williams, and won her first level class with over 70%.  The same weekend an embryo transfer was attempted, but unfortunately no embryo was retrieved.  It goes to show how sensible and versatile Q is that she was having reproductive work done the same weekend she was competing at national shows.

In 2024 she has a custom foal due to deliver in July through embryo transfer.
