225 Favory Bonita II – 2003 Purebred Gelding by 100 Favory Neapolitano I from 114 Bonita Owned by L Inwood NSW

The beginnings of our love for the Lipizzaner horse began with the Purebred Lipizzaner mare, 202 Bonnie (dec) (100 Favory Neapolitano I X 114 Bonita). It was an unfortunate accident that saw Bonnie lost to us & even more unfortunate that we had no foals to continue from her. We were however lucky enough to secure her sire, the outstandingly beautiful Lipizzaner stallion, 100 Favory Neapolitano I. It is with this stallion that we have based our foundation breeding upon. 

100 Favory Neapolitano I is a classically Baroque stallion with superior bone substance & strength of conformation & movement. He has an exceptional front, a very strong hind quarter & back along with a confident temperament.  All of which he consistently passes onto his offspring. We have kept fillies by him in order to breed back to our young stallion 257 Favory Pallavicina I. The result we are looking towards are tall, strong Lipizzaners, with plenty of substance, super temperaments & highly athletic movement. 

257 Favory Pallavicina – Is Annwn Parks future sire. Born November 2007 his breeding is off fully imported lines. ‘Merlin’ is a very tall & typey colt with a superior temperament, strong free movement & superlative athleticism 

Our mare lines boast temperament, movement & height. We have been lucky enough to have secured highly desirable mare lines & incorporate them into out breeding program 

110 Szuzi (dec) – An outstanding classic mare of wonderful height with extremely expressive movement    

249 Sava & 237 Sagana – Two young mares by 100 Favory Neapolitano I & from 110 Szuzi (dec), both of exceptional height & type (15.2 – 15.3hh) Possessing outstanding movement well sort after by dressage enthusiasts & exceptional conformation, temperament & bone substance. 

ABOUT THE STUD

They are raised in small herds allowing them to develop sound minds & bodies. When it comes time for weaning we see all that hard work come together, as they are not as distressed when separated from their dams. They find it easier when they have people they know & trust supporting them. The next lessons are leading, tying up, feet & of course rugging. All of which also helps to make for wonderfully well behaved & sensible weanlings giving their new owners much delight.
