These foals will have a special place in our hearts here at Tower Lane. For these were the first breeding of Versache. The quality of these horses far surpassed our expectations. Breeding is as much of a art as it is a science. We were so pleased that our careful decisions in our mare selections and with Versache himself resulted in such extraordinary foals.

Valon is super sweet with a great personality. At the IRS/Oldenburg inspection the inspector remarked what a beautiful trot he had and predicted he will make a fantastic dressage horse, we couldn't agree more. Valon showed successfully in DHSB Classes in 2009 and as he matures he is truly showing his sporthorse potential. In 2012 Valon started competing in Material classes and has begun showing at Training Level. He is doing wonderful and is liked by the judges. You could not tell he was just 3 as he takes to the show ring like a pro. Valons beautiful gaits and his calm willing personality will make him wonderful horse for a deserving partner.

Congratulations to Tracy Farrell of Washington on the purchase of Valon. We are so excited to see him grow in his new home!

Vienna Cuveè is a beautiful black filly out of a Main Mare Book ISR/Oldenburg Thoroughbred mare. She received a sore of 8.4 for movement at her inspections.

From her owner:

"Vivi has the best personality she is very willing and extremely brave, she is proving to have a wonderful work ethic too.. She is so calm and easy yet has the movement to compete with the best, perfect for a amateur rider like myself! Thank you Tower Lane Farm for the opportunity to breed to your terrific stallion Versache. I couldn't have asked for a nicer filly."
