INGO & SUSAN PAPE, THE OWNERS OF SAN REMO, INVITE SACRED SPIRIT CSH TO GO TO THEIR YARD IN GERMANY TO BE PREPARED FOR THE STALLION LICENSING!!!!!!!!
Well as you can imagine Stewart & I are simply over the moon at this exciting news. We always knew Spirit had that "something" from the day he was born. As he matured we realised that maybe he was stallion material. We emailed the Pape family a few days ago sending details & photos of Spirit. Well the email we received back from the Pape family blew us away!! The email said that Spirit was "WOW", that he was "AWESOME" & that he had something "SPECIAL" about him. They also commented that he looked to have all the qualities to make a future stallion. We know this is a long process, but we want to give Spirit the best chance possible & who better to look after & prepare him than one of Germany's finest families. We hope to speak with the Papes this week to confirm everything. Watch this space for more updates & news...

3rd – 8th February 2007
Christine and Stewart travelled to Germany and visited many studs viewing and assessing potential broodmare purchases. We also viewed at first hand many potential stallions for future sire potential to our broodmares. We were fortunate to be invited to visit some studs in order to view the stallions being worked in preparation for competition and showing. We thoroughly enjoyed this quality one-on-one time with the various stallions in a relaxed atmosphere.
We also attended several stallion presentations viewing some of these magnificent horses displaying their talents in near competition conditions. This dual approach to visiting Germany was fantastic and allowed us to spend considerable time developing our 2008 strategy.
