2002 Black Hanoverian Mare by Hanoverian stallion Royal Senna. Royal Senna (Rubinstein I x Airport) was Canadian National Champion in 2005 and Silver Medalist in 2004 & 2005 at 3rd and 4th level. Royal Senna is by the legendary Westfalen stallion Rubinstein I who died at a young age, but not before leaving his mark on the Hanoverian breed. Many of our top stallions today in the Hanoverian breed are by this sire, who not only left behind nearly 80 approved sons, but also competed under Nicole Uphoff in the International arena successfully before his career was sadly cut short. On his dam's side he has the blood of Airport who was an impressive stallion and producer of Dressage horses by one of our foundation stallions, Argentan. The dam of Royal Joy (Joci's Joy) was Non Hanoverian Champion at her AHS inspection and was entered into the Main Mare book with the excellent score of 6.77. She goes back to Nasrullah 4x, Nearco 5x, Mumtaz Begum 5x, Bold Ruler, Count Fleet, Princequillo, and Man O'War - a truly amazing pedigree of Thoroughbreds which have been proven to bring excellent crosses to Warmblood Sporthorses. Joci moved with the type of elasticity and suspension rarely seen in the TB breed and was the type you want to breed to when bringing in this refinement blood. "Roz" is currently started under saddle learning the basics and has the most willing and kind disposition. She has been named an FEI prospect by Danish Grand Prix trainer Lars Birkedahl.
